WEATHER REPORTS
 WILL BE AFACTOR
First Report on Ginning By the Census Bureau Will
 Be Made

New Orleans, September S.-The cotton
 market this week will probably be 'nfiu-
 enced chiefly by weather reports, although
 the spot situation will be watched very
 closely The first thing five minutes be-
 fore the opening of trading for the week,
 the first report of the season on ginning
 will be issued by the census bureau. this
 report will carry the crop down to the first of September. It is not expected tc
 be of any great influence one way or an-
 other. The most popular estimate af the
 figures at the end of last week vas 30O,0o0
 bales
 The cotton crop now appears 70 be en-
 tering upon that period when maturity Is reached and when, in consequence. de- terioration is rapid. Bulls ana bears alike seem to be expecting this falling off in condition and in preparation for ii, shorts have covered a large part of their coIn-
 mitments. If the expected deterloi ation does not take place this week shorts will probably re-enter the market and more or less liquidation will come from tie long side If crop reports show that de- terioration is under way the trade will bo- gin to look for bullish October condi- ton report which may prove to be a sus taining influence for some time to come. The increase of picking and ginning will increase the offerings of spot cotton and the rade will be anxious to see how buy CTS will view the larger supplies. Thus l far spinners have not shown any great in l terest in the market. which $ not to Dc wondered at in view of the large stocks | held abroad, and it remains to be seen l how much longer they will hold off. Any pressure on the market that may be con l sidered out of the ordinary will quite
 nearly quickly affect the position of the | future market. Bears contend that the | spot department will soon dominate the | situation.
 During this week rains will be consd- | cred more beneficial than otherwise. be-
 cause they will keep the plant making and check the deterioration In the west, especially. dry and hot weather win be | considered damaging.

Montgomery, September S.-(SpeciaL) Citizens of Montgomery are awaiting with interest the result of the police investigation, which was recently in stituted by the Business.

 During the past few weeks there has been considerable comment heard with reference to the police situation or the city. Charges were made that certain officers of the police and sheriHs de nartments were in connivance with blind tigers and proprietors of gambling re- sorts, and that justice was being blocked on account of the indiifereht attitude of certain of the officers.

London, September s.-(Special. l.--ohio' 8 rejection of woman suffrage amend ment has dampened somewhat the spirits of British suffragists. They had looked confidently for the opposite result.
 But they call it "only a temporary re- verse for our American corps" and ex- plain that "the liquor interests nave beaten us in Ohio as they have beaten us in England"
 official organs of the cause predict that 'the Ohio tide will run the other way in less than IS months.
 Mrs. Humphrey Ward and those who hold with her, however, see in the Ohio de- velopment proof that the pendulum in America Is now swinging toward common sense and largely as the outcome of the ridiculous excesses of militancy in this country"
 Fresh reason is found by her for Abandoning on both sides of the Atlantic

HEARST ANALYSES l. PRESENT SITUATION Predicts the Election of
 Governor Wilson T. R.'S BIG MISTAKE Bull Moose Movement Is More Parti- san Than Progressive and More
 Selfish Than Sincere and Will Be Unsuccessful
T. R.'S BIG MISTAKE

London, September S.-(Specia1) )-The Evening Standard published the follow ing:
 MT. William Randolph Hearst. the we'll known American newspaper proprie- tor and politician, in a special interview given to one of our representatives today, made a critical analysis of the unprece- dented political situation in the United States and in discussing the chances of the candidates in the race for the presi- dency showed how Mir. Woodrow Wilson would in all likelihood be Mir Tafts sue cessor.
 Tn doing so Mir Hearst expressed the opinion that the new party movement would not be successful unless the pro gressive wings of both the democratic | and republican parties combined and formed an independent party of consol- l dated progressves This united progress | sive party, MT. Hearst believes, would | succeed and would exercise a potent influ- ence on the future of American politics.
 Neither Will Retire ." Tt seems to me, began MT. Hearst,
 that the report cabled from New York,
 
 state elections MT, Taft and Mir Roose- vet may retire form the presidential con 1 test in favor of man agreeable to both | factions is a nentirely irresponsible sug gestion. If it means anything definite, il | probably means that good many i'm | portant republicans would like to see both | Mr. Taft and Mir. Roosevelt retire in | favor of some third person. but 1 do not | think there is the slightest possibility or such thing happening
 | ." The independent movement in the | United tSates is a real ana powerful force. | It began with the independence league in | New York and adjacent states, in New | England Vermont being New England state, in the middle west, with Chicago | as a nucleus and in the far west, partic- l uarly in the state of California It at | tained great strength in those states and sections in which l had newspapers, and was able to give ample publicity 10 the | propaganda of the third partp movement. l As a result of this edcaton and agitation and development tne third party s 1 strength has increased immensely in the | last four years.
 -Four years ago the independence l league had a candidate for President, and | though It actually carried no single state. | 1t exhibited great strength aud vitality in many sections of the country. Today the propaga nda of the third party movement. are more widely known and more gen | orally indorsed than four years ago. Ths organization of the movement is much better and the enthusiasm of the sup porters of the movement Is as great as ever.

Hilles Not Downcast

The reports at democratic headquarters indicate that few democrats are going to vote for Roosevelt and the claim is made that whatever slight defection there may be will more than be made up by repub- lieans who intend to vote for Wilson.
 If Chairman Hiles is downeast at the prospect he conceals his feelings mighty well.
 While 1t is admitted that the antics of the bull moose have muddled the political waters and made 1t hard to figure on the vote with any degree of certainty, confi- denee is expressed that before November the situation will be clarified and the drift of opinion will set strongly to Taft.
 Here is how one republican leader ex- pressed it.
 'The strongest factor in favor of Taft Is the innate love of the American people for fair play. Roosevelt is an almighty shouter for the squars zeal. The Amer ican people are coming to realize that his shoutings are largely hot air and he has not given Taft anything like a square deal. As this fact is driven home 1t is going to hurt Roosevelt and help Taft This fight is between Wilson and Taft There is no two ways about that Just at present Wilson seems to be in the lead but it is two months yet before election. Many an election has been won in Sep tember and lost in November"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-09
Democrats COmforted

One feature of the campaign which brings comfort to the democrats Is the report that in Kansas, Nebraska and other states where the bull moose has been able to capture the republican or ganization and freeze out the Taft cleo tors, the Taft leaders intend to throw their strength to Wilson. This means, they say, that those states are pretty certain to give their electoral votes to Wilson.
 Rooseyelts western tour is being fol- lowed with keen interest. Reports differ as to what effect the b:g swing is going to have as expressed in votes. While 1t is true he has had big crowds and aroused the usual enthusiasm some reports from the states he has visited declare that the sentiment for him as candidate is show ing distinct signs of being on the wane.
 The betting here heavily favors Wilson. It is hard to find any money to wager against the democratic leader and the odus are four or five to one on him.
