of the demand was attributed to one
large trader, while the supply still came
from outside holders here and in the
south. After our close the lower New Or

the forces which caused the break are
the true and governing facts or not.

New orlean. Cotton Market

New Orleans, February 4.-Cotton flu
lures opened steady at an advance Of
to 0 points on the old crop months and
an advance OF 2 points on October The
chief reason for the advance was the at
titude of the Liverpool market, which
refused to follow the decline on futures
on this side of the water yesterday, and
in addition reported spot sales of 5000
bales. Confident shorts of yesterday were
eager buyers on the first call. and the
demand from them was in view during
the first hour of business, at the end of
which the old crops were Is to IA points
over yesterdays close, while October
stood II points over. The weather map
indicated continued dry weather In the
west of the cotton belt. which helped the
new crop positions.
The market held very steady through
out the greater part Of the session with
more active months within a couple of
points of the highest. Support came al
most entirely from covering shorts, al
though some fresh long buying was based
on late cablegrams from Liverpool stat
ing that the continent had been a heavy
buyer of spots there. In the last half
hour of trading longs who did not care
to carry their lines over Sunday offered

my mind to take my family with me
and leave the state of Oklahoma for
good
"A city election was approaching
but l wasn't paying much attention
to it. There were already four can
didates in the field FOR nomination
on the democratic ticket as mayor,
1t was then that a committee of ten
prominent democrats waited on me
and implored me o accept the nomi-
nation, or rather to enter the race
for it. / flatly and positively refused
to accede to their wishes, and told
them emphatically that / would have
none of their talk. They left me.
Il was gone short while making
tour of the state, winding up my
affairs as mine inspector and when
/ returned i was surprised to be
called upon to entertain a larger
committee than had called before.
There were thirty or forty of them,
all prominent business men and the
like. They told me that 1t was alb
solutely necessary that 1 become
candidate for the mayorality nomi-
nation. Again l set my foot down
and told them no. / wanted no more
politics in mine. At last they asked
me If / would consider their propo
sition If all the other candidates
would withdraw, and at last under
those conditions, l consented. Well
/ was elected. The bunch all came
around and pattcd Pete on the head
and called him a prince and so
forth. / had told the people l would
enforce the laws. And that is what
l firmly intended to do. There had
been thirty-seven murders committed
in twenty-five months. This great
wave of crime had aroused the people
to a point of indignation. Even the
bad ones were ashamed at such a
state of affairs and were clamoring
for a better condition. Thus l start
ed my crusade, with the citizenship,
the county officers and the courts
with me.
Il sent for a man whom l knew to
be a man. in every sense of the word.
He used to be a Texas ranger. l
told him he had been appohltec chief
of police and that l wanted him to
close everything up, that if he did
not do 1t he need not expect to hold
his job. He said, IAN right and got
busy.
"To make a long story short 1t
was only a short time until we had
closed up every bootlegging joint,
had put every immoral house In the
city out of business and had given
the town a shaking up generally, the
like of which she had never before
experienced. ! stationed men at all
these places and had them report to
me each morning at 0 o'clock.
hired special detectives to watch the
police and report every movement to
me. In that way l kept a line on my

OF HIS EXPERIENCES WITH

Before Accepting Office.

Five mayors of as many prominent
cities in Oklahoma were seated in the
office of Secretary Sutherland of the
Commercial club the other night, fol-
lowing the adjournment of session
of the Oklahoma state municipal
league, which they had been attend
ing.
Four of the five were pronounced
-prohibitionists, and the other
was noncommital as to his views on
the subject. The discussion of this sub
ject finally led up to the proposition
of home government" which is al
ways a popular subject with Oklahoma
municipalities, to which fact the
numerous appeals from city charter
cases now pending in the supreme
court can testify.
Mayor l.. j. Martin of Tulsa had
related briefly the stormy period OF
his regime when he conducted his
locally famous crusade against boot
Logging, and had mentioned the fact
that all the money in the world would
not persuade him to go through the
same experience again. Pete Han
ratty, the former state mine inspec'
tor, and now mayor of McAlester
looked up with an Irish smile on his
rosy face and in an Irish brogue, ex-
claimed.
Martin, I'm with you there. This
life is too short for a man to throw
away two years of 1t acting as a
mayor, and / myself think too much
of my family TO ever again even con-
slider the proposition of becoming
mayor of a city,"
The assembled executives looked
expectantly at Pete, for they had
noticed the reminiscent twinlGe IN
his eye, and knew a good story was
brewing. The Hon. Mr.. Hanratty did
not disappoint his auditors. He pulled
off his overcoat, threw out his chest,
and related the story of How
Made McAlester Clean"
1T was right after / had been de-
feated for recollection TO the office OF
state mine inspector on the demo-
cratic ticket" said the former miner.
"and was at my home In McAlester
/ had received an offer from Illinois
to go up there and take a mining job
at $4,000 a year with five year
contract. II sounded good to me, and

self. One night 1 dressed in a wo-

resort. | hid under the porch and
pretty soon ! saw one of my main
detectives, fellow / was paying $3.50
a month, come up and accept brlbe
money from a landlady. Then l fired
him. After that l fired them right
and left. Pretty soon they saw I

square. My chief Of ploice did good
work. They couldn't get to him.
was offered 500 a month to quit the
crusade, but / told them to go to
thunder.
We'll, today McAlester is a clean
city, or as clean as you can make It
under these laws. / do not say it in
a boasting spirit, but with firm be-
lief that 1t is absolutely true, that sou

you have to buy 1t out of some fell
lows hip pocket. The other day l
counted thirteen bootleggers who
were wearing balls and chains in
front of my house and welding picks
and shovels. Most of them own prop
erty and some Of them are worth
two or three hundred thousand dol
lars"
But Pete" interrupted Mayor
Martin at this point, don't you find
that those fellows who have backed
you up in this proposition side track
you before you are through"
Indeed l do" was the quick re-
ply, "and right now feel them slip
