whether native or foreign born,. re-
gardless of race, religion or previous
political alliances. A merchant ma
rine is urged.
Federal and state works to pre-
vent floods must be pushed, also the
reclamation of arid lands, together
with a liberal and systematic i'm
provement of rivers and harbors.
A liberal policy promoting the de-
velopment of Alaska and the open
ing of it's coal lands is urged. The
policy towards the Philippine Is
lands is duty and national obliga-
tion entirely free from partisan pol
itics.
The enactment of laws to give re-
lief from the growing evil of unde-
sirable immigration is advocated,
also speedy legislation for safety at
sea.
The effort of the Republican ad-
ministration towards economy and
efficiency is commended, together
with the accomplishments under Re-
publican administration, especially
the Panama canal, postal savings
banks, bureau of mines, increased
pensions, and the vigorous admins
tration of pure food and drug laws.
Judge Lauder Take.
North Dakota men are anxious
that their position shall be under
stood at home.
"I did not want to be a candidate
for temporary chairman" says
Judge w. s. Lauder. II urged Wis
consin men to put up McGovern, and
let Roosevelt men vote for him If
they wanted to. They were at outs
on the matter and we waited for
them to come to a decision. They
held a caucus just before leaving for
convention, and came and told us
that they had decided not to pre-
sent a candidate. They told us to
go ahead and put up man, and that
they would stand by US. So our
delegation decided to support me
and with that understanding we
went to them. We had hardly en-
tered the Coliseum when Mr.. Coch-
ems presented Governor McGovern's
name. I told my colleagues imme-
diately not to vote for me, and said
I would regard any man as my en-
emy who would do so.
II think Wisconsin men who vot-
ed for me made mistake, but they
are in different position from US.
We are for LaFollette, will stand by
him, and think he has good show
to be nominated, but we are from a
state where hardly anybody is for
Taft. We could not make a cam
paign for him, but we could carry
the state for Roosevelt If he should
be nomtnated,as he has many friends
| in North Dakota. On the question
of organization as between Roose-
welt and Taft we should have stood
for Roosevelt"

as much a mystery as ever. Sheehan
went away three weeks ago, and
while he is said to have shown up
since. in Columbus and Savannah, 40
one here has seen him.
| He is wanted in Americas upon d
warrant, charging the uttering of a
forgery, the specific charge being that
he cashed in with merchandise here
at least four worthless checks, all for
the same amount-$5518 These
checks bore the names of Agent Ev-
erett and Foreman Elan Mauk, the
signatures having been forged.
The blank checks, known as dis
charge checks, fifty in number, were
stolen from the desk in the office of
Foreman Mauk at the shops here.
Merchants here and elsewhere are
ac ustomed to Cashing such checks
the genuine, of course-and at the
stores of Brown & Tillman, w. p.
Warlick, H. w. Smithwick and w. D.
Bailey the deboinaire Mr.. Sheehan was
gladly accommodated when he pre-
scented his checks.
And he had gone far, far away when
the fleeced merchants were put wise
to the fact that each one was out the
good sum of $5518.
Several days ago Foreman Mauk
was requested to go to Charleston,
where it was thought Sheehan might
be found, for the purpose of Identify
ing him. AS MIR. Mauk has not return,
ed to Americas yet the belief obtains
here that detectives of the railroad
company, assisted by Mr. Mauk, are
searching the entire eystem for Shee-
han.
AS there are nearly fifty of the
stolen checks still missing, anyone so
disposed could fill them out and have
them cashed for any reasonable am
GUST, although such an attempt now
would be attended with much risk.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, December 21.-Cotton
this week fell off under liquidation of the
long interest. The net change was de-
cline of 80 to 33 points. The high prices
were made Monday, and the low prices
Saturday. At the highest the tradin"
months were to points over last
weeks close; at the lowest they were 30
to 40 points under. The range was II to
As points.
Long contracts were liquidated freely
throughout the week, first on account OF
the census bureau report on ginning
Friday, and. secondly on account of the
approach of the holidays Bears were
quick to see their advantage and several
times they pressed heavily on the market
in effort to reach stop loss orders
among the weaker bulls AT the end Of
the week the market appeared to be in
healthy position, technically.
The census report showing 12,f24, S53
bales gfnned up to December 49, had
bearish effect on the market, simply be-
cause the trade had been educated up to
expecting returns that were too small for
this time of the year
For the period December 1 and Ii
there were ginned $4,000 bales. in round
figures. against $4,000 for the same
period last year. This originally would
have been heavy bull sh report, but the
bulls talked about 100000 to 10000 bales
as the ginning for the period. which
caused comparatively small returns to
work against them. The census report
was the one feature OIL importance or the
week.
In the spot department prices closed
unchanged, middling. 1914 against 1878
last week and 9b this week last year.
Sales on the spot amounted to 3, 425 bales
against 5,2S5 last week. and 3,755 this
week last year. Sales to arrive amount
ed to 3.49O bales. against 3,475 last week
and 1882 this week last year.
Cotton futures opened steady at de-
cline of two to six points in the face Of
much higher cables than due. AT the
close there was a net decline Of one to
two points. Special selling, said to come
from spot interests, held the market down.
Private messages from Liverpool said
that the continent was heavy buyer
there, and intimated that a more bullish
construction was placed on the census
figures on ginning yesterday than was
given by American markets. Prices were
nine to eleven points down soon after the
call. Scalping shorts, however took prof
it's, and at the end OF TIE first half hour
business prices were only five points
down. The close was quiet and steady.
Spot cotton quiet, unchanged; middling,

rive, 100 bales.

not gain as heavily in cash as pre-

pansion in specie and legal tenders hav-
ing been only $1,152,000. 1t is probable.
however, that next weeks statement,
showing the trend of money in this di-
rectiOn. both by reason of the natural
after-harvest drift and because of prep
arations for the January dividend and
interest period, will reveal decided
increase in surplus reserve. SO far as
loans are concerned, the total remained
almost stationary, the only change hav-
ing been a decrease of a little more
than half million in this. item. Net
deposits rose s7,S49.O00 which almost
actual increase in reserve above the %
