The maximum pos sible out-turn from the growing crop, which will certainly be the smallest crop produced in the last decade, added to the total amount of spinnable cotton brought over on July i31 will fall far short of the pressing demands of the world before another crop can be produced.

WOOD
STRONG FAVORITE
Big Lead in Republican Presidential
Poll by Los Angeles
Paper.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept 24-Gen-
eral Leonard Wood is the winner in a Re
publican presidential preferential poll just
finished by Edward A. Dickson, publisher
OF the Los Angeles Evening Express, a
prominent leader among the Progressive
Republicans of California
The poll was taken among Republican
governors, Republican national commit
teemen of 4S states, Republican state
chairmen and Republican editors. Five
hundred and twenty-five inquiries were
sent out and replies were received from
$50, or IS per cent. The poll resulted as
follows, for first choice:
Henry Allen of Kansas, u: w. F. Bo-
rah of Idaho. 5; A. b. Cummins of Iowa,
Il; w. G. Harding of Ohio, 81; Charles
T. Hughes of New York. 35: Hiram w.
johnson of California D; Frank o. Low
den of Illinois, 40; w II. Taft of Ohio,
l3l
The canvass said Mr.. Dickson, was
as comprehensive as it could be when linn
,ted to one Supposed to be leading inter
prefers and shapers of Republican senti-
ment throughout the union Sixty five per
cent Is fair percentage of replies when
it is considered that many Republicans
who were asked are in positions where
an expression Of sentiment against a pos
sble winner of the nomination might
prove embarrassing afterward. The poll
gives General Wood more than one-third
of all the judgments recorded, aud his
vote is more than three times as great
rs any of his possible competitors.
Quite possibly it is an inappropriate
time to take a poll Of this character. as
things certainly are in a state OF fux,
owing to the issues now being discussed
before congress However, it probably
is as fair for one man as another, and it
may be taken for what il is worth with
out prejudice
