PROGRESSIVE CONVENTION

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 4.-Ohio's
progressive state convention opened
here today. Governor Hiram Johnson
of California, vice presidential nomi-
nee, opened the convention. Al full
state ticket will be nominated. In all
probability Arthur l.. Gar'ord of
Elyria will be nominated for gov
ernor. OF the three candidates for gov
ernor in the field. Mr.. Garford will be
the strongest personally. He is
man of high character, and, save for
the antagonisms aroused as result
of his fighting for Roosevelt, he has
not estranged any political element of
the state. On the other hand, both
James NJ. Cox, the democratic nomi-
nee, and Gen R. B. Brown. the head
of the republican ticket. have not
been greatly respected by the drys.
The prospect is, in fact, that they win
divide the wet voters, so that Mr..
Garford will benefit to this extent.

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, Sept. Am event
of unusual interest in the in-rushing
cotton receipts Is the appearance OF
several bales Of long staple cotton,
principally from Fort Bend county
The staple measures over an inch ana
a half and will command Is cents per
pound. The growers Of the long staple
In Fort Bend county are paying Is
cents per pound for its picking and
prior handling. The center Of the
long staple area is at Richmond,
which will produce about 125 bales
this year as an experiment. So sue
cessful is the test that large acre
age will be planted to the long staple
next year.
The first few weeks Of the Texas
cotton crop picking develops the fact
that Texas is harvesting the largest
cotton crop in her history. Some IRE
predicting the Texas crop viii total
100000 bales Staggering receipts
are daily coming into Houston and
were it not for the increased handling
facilities installed during the year the
onrush Of the staple would be handi-
capped As it is the cotton moving
into Houston is receiving rapid hand
ling without the least semblance Of
disorder.
The big Texas receipts are making
an impression on world prices. Prices
have shown decided weakness at
times. due practically to the law Of
supply and demand. There is prevail
ing sentiment that the entire crop
viii approximate 14.000,000 bales.
The cotton movement and the ap-
proach Of fall trade is causing in
creased activity in all merchandise
lines over South Texas The grocery
trade especially is feeling the uplift
and dry goods jobbers report steady
increase in business. More money ID
being put into circulation and bank
deposits are growing. The rapid
movement of the cotton crop. too. win
indicate no intention of holding cot
ton this year for higher prices, the
receipts indicating the staple is mar
keted as rapidly as picked.
Building cntinues very active in
Houston. Many smaller business
houses are going up. There is 4
steady inflow of new firms to do busi-
ness in the city. A very fine outlook
for fall trade is reported generally.
Collections are reported fair.

Albany. Sept. ls--In a statement to-

The Governor said:
The precedent In the Democratic party
has been TO renominate officials as an
Endorsement OF the administration OF

racy departs from the established prin-

Mood Still Over Snub
at Syracuse.

George NJ. Palmer chairman Of the
! Democratic state committee, had talk
with Acting Chairman McAdoo Of the
! Democratic National Committee. yester-
| day morning. Later he spent some time
with Charles F. Murphy over a luncheon
! at Delmonico's. Mr.. Palmer was not
willing to say what the topics of discus
sion were. 1t was learned however. that
1 the conferences were preliminary to a
! conference that will be held within a few
| days at which the question Of the atti-
tude OF Governor Wilson to the renomina-
/ ton Of Governor Dix will be seriously
discussed
! 1t is known that Mr. Murphy is much
put out over the way in which he and
1 Governor Dix were snubbed by Governor
| Wilson at Syracuse. He is inclined TO
| force the denomination OF Governor Dix,
| II for no other reason than that he might
show his independence OF the Wilson in
/ fluence and domination. Those who, while
| friends Of Murphy. are AT the same time
! inclined 10 believe that the denomination
OF Governor Dix would not do. want 10
have the entire question discussed on an
amicable basis.
The press bureau Of the state commit
tee sent out long statement OF the
financial end of the Dix administration
Yesterday. They called II "A Record Of
Saving for the Taxpayers While not a
direct appeal for a denomination Of the
Governor. 1t was phrssed In such a way
as 10 give to Governor Dix personally the

sertion being made that by his veto he
had saved the taxpayers more than
100000.
Some one took the story TO Senator
O'Gorman, who is preparing TO fight
Murphy on the question of renominating
Governor Dix, that the state committee
had given out a statement favoring the
denomination Of Governor Dix.
The Senator looked surprised and then
said with a smile;
That is interesting, but / am afraid
cannot say anything about II until | have
had a chance to read it,.
The Senator refused 10 commit himsel.
one way or the other OF the Dix PROPOSE
ton.
Mr. Murphy repeated yesterday the
Dix should not be renominated."
1t was learned yesterday that petitions
had been circulated throughout the state
for the Independent nomination Of Mayor
John X. Sague OF Poughkeepsie as
candidate for Governor and that 1900
signatures had been secured The law
requires total OF only e00, but Of thct
number there must be at least fifty from
each county
Major Widenmann, secretary Of the En-
pire State Democracy. was not willing 10
acknowledge that his Organization was
back OF the movement. However, II is
likely that they will accept the petitions
as their own i'm case Governor Dix should
be renominated by the regular convention.
II would be too late after that to nomi-
nate any one by petition.
There is to be a meeting OF the state
committee of the Empire State Democ-
racy to-day.
