ITALIANS FORM
STATE LEAGUE

America First" was the slogan
adopted by the first State convention
of Italian-Americans from all parts
of New Jersey held at 1856 Market
street yesterday. The convention or
ganized as the Italian-American State
League and elected officers, Fred
Mancinci, of this city, being chosen
president. The vice. presidents in
clude NJ. Monaco. of Bernardsville; H.
Bollaton, OF West. Orange; Antonio
Glen, of Dover, and S. Santomenono,
of Hoboken.
Pasquale Scarano was elected treas
urer. and Salvador Chiaravallo was
made corresponding secretary. Both
are of this city. L. Caprio, of New
ark, was chosen assistant correspond
ing secretary, and M. N. Palermo, of
Bernardsville, was elected financial
secretary. James v. Brienza- was
made assistant financial secretary.
Colonel Roosevelt, Governor Fielder,
Commissioner of Emigration Cami-
16etti and w. Walter Phelps Brakeman
were elected honorary presidents.
The purpose of the new organiza-
tion is to impress on the Italian
Americans that the interest of this
country should be first in their minds.
Also the league win endeavor,
through various branches to be or
ganized in all towns and cities in the
State having an Italian population of
500 or more, to have Italians become
American citizens.
Mr.. Scarano will have charge of fur
ther organization and extension of the
league throughout the State. At
tempts will be made to have a large
membership within a month.
The convention was presided over
by Mr.. Brakeman. He said the Ital-
ians should be united in New
Jersey, so that they might be more re-
spected as citizens. Mr.. Scarano em-
phasized that the purpose of the ltal-
jan-American State League is mainly
to create a strong body of men who
will understand better and respect
and adopt this country as their own
fatherland.
Mr.. Mancini said: 1.-THE prominent
Italians who claim the Italian vote as
their own property never gave a
thought of organizing the Italians for
the benefit of them as a whole, but
always put their ego before every
thing else. 1t is a purpose of the
league to fight leaders who tend to
TO the recognition of their personali-
lies more than the welfare of the COM
munity.
"The league" finished Mr.. Mancini,
sis for all the Italians. From now on,
the ambitious leaders and politicians
who claim to control the Italian vote
will have to forget the old methods
and play more honest and clean poll
tics"
Mr.. Brienza, a student at the New
York Law School, called attention to
the fact that the Italians would never
get recognition, If they did not de-
mand 1t. He also dwelled at length
on the principle of america First.
Mr.. Chiaravallo, Mr.. Palermo, Mr..
Santomenno and Mr.. Monaco also
urged the necessity of organization.
The next meeting of the league will be
January %.

in the ratification of the local firms

signature of Assistant Sales Manager
Z. e. Stcbbins Of the Detroit factory.
The Maxwell line is thereby assured

I'VE picked the Maxwell in the first

Our. experience has justified our
choice. Though the margin of profit
on 5000 car is necessarily small, the
volume of sales is great, provided al

as the Maxwell does.

2,907,0O7 BALES
or COTTON GINNED
Continued from Page One)

In announcing the condition report
and production estimate, the crop re-
porting board made this statement:
"rhe cotton crop condition declined
S.4 points during the month August 25
to September 25. which compared with
an average decline in the same period
in the past ten years Of AS points. The
estimated condition of CO.'S per cent of
normal on September 25 forecasts a
yield per acre Of about 1GS pounds and
a total production (allowing reduc
ton Of | per cent from planted area
for abandonmcnU Of about l0,950,000
bales. Last years production was l6,-
$4,000 bales and the 1913 crop A.
$4,000. A crop less than 100000
bales would be smaller than any crop
since 1909.
"Thc unusual deterioration has been
due principally to the extremes OF
weather conditions; periods Of excess
sivc rainfall, cold weather and drought
having characterized the season in
most OF the cotton belt. Lack Of fer
tilizcr, and poor quality Of that used
has been an unfavOrablc factor in the
eastern portion Of the belt. There is
little promise Of top crop except in
the northern portions Of tho belt, due
to the climatic conditions and the un
usual activity OF the boil wccvil; and
where top crop is setting in the
northern portions Of the belt, the lat
est report Of the crop there makes
realization dependent upon future ia
vorabIe weather and frost.
"The month, much Of it warmer and
dry, has been generally favorable to
picking, a much larger percentage of
the crop is ginned to this date than in
the usual year. In much Of the south
ern portion Of the belt ginning is far
advanced and in some sections there,
picking is practically completed"
