strictly white mans party is the
unequivocal declaration of the lead
ers. They say that Col. Roosevelt
sees the need of two strong white part
les in the South, and believes that
this is the time to launch the move
ment, regardless of the result of the
Presidential campaign.
On the other hand, number of ag-
gressive negro leaders who are in dis
favor with the Taft crowd are deter.
mined to stick to Roosevelt, regardless
of what he may think about it, realiz-
ing that unless they can attach them
, selves to the new party organization
they are out of the political game for
, good. Doubtless these would-be ne
gro Progressives come more nearly
| to representing sentiment among
members of their race than does the
Taft organization, but the plain truth
is that they are not especially in
fatuated with either Taft or Roosevelt
In brief, they are kicking up a rumpus
for the sole and only purpose of pre-
venting their complete elimination
from political affairs.
That Senator Dixon, acting on
authority from Roosevelt, authorized
the launching of the white Progress
sive party can be stated as an absolute
fact; that he also told the negro lead
ers to step aside can be asserted witt
equal assurance, yet these negroes in
sist that Senator Dixon nor Col. Roose
r welt do not desire to kick them on
of the party. 1t is the queerest ket
= tie of political fish that has been pu
to boiling in Mississippi for many

ACTIVITY NOTED
 IN COTTON MARKET
Favorable Private Crop Ac- counts and Liquidation
 by Recent Buyers

New York, May 27.-The cotton market was more active and decidedly lower to- day on favorable private crop accounts and liquidation by recent buyers, closing steady at net reeline of from 90 to g points.
 The opening was easy at decline Of 3 to 10 points owing to favorable weather over Sunday and a favorable view of the official forecasts. Trading was eompara- lively quiet at the start. being restricted probably by the absence of Liverpool ca bies owing to the holiday and by uneer- tainty as to the showing of private crop accounts. Covering and support from trade sources checked the decline around the opening figures and prices rallied to within or points of Saturdays closing level during the forenoon, but following tie publication of the National Ginners' report. there was sharp break under re- newed liquidation and bear pressure.
 According to private wires. the National Ginners' association made the condition of the crop 7s.4 per cent. or only per cent under the average of the official June figures for the past 10 years, and while lHe report lnulcateu feducllon or [ per cent In acreage, 1t evidently was more favorable crop indication than had been expected at any rate selling became quite general during the afternoon and the mar ket closed within a point or two of the lowest The condition figures of 79.4 by tie National Ginners compare with S5.6 last year, and with SIS. the government s report. at the beginning of last season.
 Weather reports indicated scattered showers in the south over Sunday, which ware more or less generally considered beneficial. and the outlook for lower tenn peratures with further showers in the wS stern belt was also considered responsl- ble for part of the early selling.
