Alexander Claims $4,000.

JACKSON, Miss, June L The week
has been a busy one in senatorial poll
tics. The candidates and their friends
have heen unusually active, especially
Is this r Of the candidacy of Hon.
C.H- Alexander. The calling Of the pri-
mary for Aug. l seems to have made all
arties realize that "reckoning day"
was rapidly approaching and caused
them to make renewed efforts to utilize
tho time between then to the best
possible advantage.
MI. Alexander's headquarters seem to
be especially pleased that the earliest
date was named; in fact they express
ed themselves a "ready for the final
showdown at the earlies moment
They are bold to that "Mr.
Alexander will poll $1,000 votes in the
first primary" and they state thai they
base this claim upon the most conser-
vative estimate made by friends in the
various counties of the state"
Certain it is that Mr.. Alexander has
the politicians guessing and those on
che outside seem puzzled as to how to
figure that Mr.. Alexander will not get a
ve.y large per cent. Of the silent
vote" His campaign managers point
to b fact that there were $500 votes
In the primary four years ago that
voted for governor and other candi-
dates who did not vote for senator.
These gentlemen believe they are offer
ing tho $500 men and hundreds of
others like hem a candidate that will
command their enthusiastic support.
The fact, they say, "that no one has
dared to attack the private or public
character of Mr.. Alexander makes it
asy to get tbs ear Of the" voeers."

REGULATION OR EXTINCTION
rhese Are the Two Horns Of the
Dilemma Confronting the Cot
ton Exchanges.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle.l

New Orleans, La, March 10.-The

|nction, according to f. l.. Maxwell,
|ho is one OF the largest cotton prod
teys in the South, is the arbitrary
rospect before the future cotton trad

leislation of the Scott anti-future
Hding type, which he says would rob
lin and all other cotton producers
bd cotton handlers of the important
enefits that accrue from the buying
Id selling OF future hedges, but he
believes in practical reg
htiOn of the exchanges by the fed
ral government. Such regulation, he
links, is due ,he farmer, the mer-
bant and the consumer, and may be
btained in a manner that will help,
pt harm, the cotton industry in any

keen 2500 and 5000 bales year on
Is model plantation at Mound, La.
[e Is a modern farmer and always
likes leading part in movements
aying as their object the betterment
farming conditions.
"In my opinion" said he yesterday,
The United States bureau Of corpora
ons and labor should be empowered
y congress to prescribe the form OF
The Bryan eagle. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1880-1913, 1911-03-16

contract under which the future trad
ing OF the exchanges is to be carried
on. Recently that bureau spent two
years in intelligent investigation OF the
cotton market, and in the report is
sued bya Commissioner Herbert Knox
Smith outlined the correct principle
that should underlie all contract trad
ing. This principle is nothing more
nor less than that OF common fairness.
The suggestions made by Mr.. Smith
were In effect that the buyer and the
seller OF all exchange contracts be
given equal rights and privileges, that
none other than commercial cotton be
deliverable, that the grade differences
above and below middllng at which
cotton is delivered on contract be the
natural or spot market differences,
and that no artificial conditions that
tell against either buyer or seller be
permitted to exist. He also recon.
mended the adoption by all exchanges
of the government standard types.
Were all the exchanges compelled
10 adopt the suggestions made by Com
missioner Smith the cotton farmer
would get all that IS coming to him;
the producer, merchant and consumer
would continue to enjoy the benefits
of the immensely valuable hedging
system. the wings OF the speculator
would be clipped in a practical and
lasting way, and the antagonism the
farmer has been showing toward cot
ton exchanges in general would soon
be a thing of the past.
Were congress to pass a law Civ
ing supervisory powers to the bureau
Of corporations that bureau would
quickly correct all the errors that re-
main without hurting any of the really
good phases of the modern market.
But should congress pass a bill SINH
lar to the Scott bill the cotton market
would be thrown all out OF Joint, and
the result would be control by few
rich and powerful merchants in the
same way the tobacco and sugar mar
kets are now controlled. In such event
the producers could sell only to few
more or less non-compehtive buyers
who would then dominate the market,
In place of the many competitive buy
ers, each bidding against the other, as
is now the case"
