Voters to Determine.
(Houston Post Bpeclal.)
New Orleana September 17 This city
haa for yoara. Ilk many other great
cities been under "boss" ml In her polit-
ical affairs Each of tha seventeen wards
has its dictator and to this dictator must
be referred all questions affecUng tha
placing of votes and th distribution of
pie. The people bar become hardened to
this. Tnej- have tap'Jclt faith In their
respective "boss" and leav all tha de-
tails of political management to the
men who hav for years and years bM
undisputed away. Th people hear that
the "bosses" hav selected this man for
that office. All weU and food. Th
people go to th poll and vot for tb
candidate whom th "bo" hav
chosen. Tha municipal primary la a faros
that entails needless expense and loaa of
time to th voter. Th candidate hav
been chosen In convention (also a fares
for tb caucuses long be for hay said
who are to be th fortunate on) and the
casting of th ballot Is a formality that
attracts bat liltl Interest or enthusiasm.
This th people bav become accus-
tomed to but they ar certainly not fa-
miliar with th methods that hav devel-
ojed In the last tw weeks when the gov-
ernor of th Stat. Newton C. Blanchard
who haa held th gubernatorial chair but
half a year come to th city and an-
nounce that he Is the "boss of all th
bosaac." These ar th exact word ol
th governor of Louisiana. He swept into
New Orleana. th stronghold of
ism" and declared that he bad th power
to dictate to tb ward leaders and that
he Intended to make use of that power.
He declared that the Insignificant dic
tator of municipal affaire had presumed
to make a slat without coosutUng th
great boss.
Th
he nartlcnlar mark m th slat tha
rankled Governor Blanchard waa th se-
lection of Chandler C. Lusenberg lor tb
office of district attorney. Th governor
waa absent in m. tiouia wnen ima auoi-
tion waa mad to th municipal slate.
When h learned that th "bosses" had
mad tha selection he hastened southward
as fast as steam could carry him. He
established headquarters in a big cara-
vansary en th night of his arrival In
New Orlenas and within two hours had
nearly all the ward "bosses" before him.
He applied th laab with meroilesa blows.
And what power waa behind th lash 7
Governor BUaehard with a sagacity that
surprised hi most ardent advocate had
held up a number of coveted executive
appointments choice plums dangling in
the air abov th head of ward hench-
men. Thea appointments under th pro-
visions of the constitution should hav
been made months ago. This waa the
weapon which th governor used in flay-
ing tb "beeaea" and th "bosses" quick-
ly recognised th master hand that
wielded th whip. They became as docile
as pet dog and yielded without one word
of protest With cn vole they orted:
"Your wlahes governor; your wtahasT"
Then the governor called in th political
wrltera and announced:
"The newapapara in New Orleana hav
created a situation In my absence and
this situation I have mot."
The "situation" to which Governor
Blanchard referred here bore on th
selection of Chandler C. Lusenberg for
the offlc of district attorney. Lusenberg
was the choice of th populace and press
with on exception. The Ptcsyune the
Times-Democrat and the States bad
championed him and the people had
caught up the cry. But th Item a far
back a a week before the arrival of
Governor Blanobard In th city had an-
nounced that Lu ben berg was not ts be
the democratic nominee for the office of
dlatrtct attorney. Th ward "bosaea"
recognized the popular demand and with
wisdom and foresight aoceded to the wish
of the people and announced that the
caucus had fixed upon Lusenberg. Tbla
waa done without consulting the wishes
of Governor Blanchard. The chief ex-
ecutive drslred another man for the of-
fice and boldly proclaimed that thla roan
would be Installed.
There were three ward leaders who
held out against the executive threats and
refused to be whipped into line. They
are John T. Michel RobertBwnlg and
Samuel GUmore representing the Tenth.
Thirteenth and Fourteenth warda. Theae
men had the courage to atand by their
convictions and atlck to Lusenberg. But
the fourteen other "bosses'' bowed ths
head and bent the knee. That meant that
Lusenberg wa defeated and would b
voted down In the municipal convention.
Newspapers Fought
The three newspapers favorable to the
candidacy of Luxenberg took up the fight
the next morning and their news and
editorial column bristled wtth excoria-
tions aimed at Governor Blanchard. Ha
waa dubbed everything with an unfavora-
ble reflection from "caar" to "despot." It
was the press and the people against the
governor and hia fourteen coerced
"boaaea." The newa atorlea were permit-
ted to go with an editorial vein and each
line frvm the pens of tha veteran political
wrltera biased. The Statea In an edi-
torial on September 21 the day th
municipal convention was held and two
daya after the arrival of Governor Blanch-
ard In tha city said:
"In all the hlatory of civilization never
has there been a spectacle so humiliating
so disgraceful to a proud and fine people
as Is the spectacle of the whole power
of the State being brought to bear to
wreak out personal vengeance to compel

them Instead and to basely carry out the
executive mandate in -opposition to a
universal public sentiment. Burke de-
clared that the whole people could not

going the pangs of martyrdom today sim-

whelming personal vanity of the tyrant
of Loulsrana what security has any other
honest man that hia will not be a like
fate tomorrow? Can such things be and

name of God is Newton C. Blanchard.
governor of Loulelana. mad Does hia
blind intoxication with power and vanity
blind his eyee ta the fact that there yet
remains a modicum of self-respect and
manhood in this community? Can he
vainly Imsrtne that by binding with
chains the elected leadera of the party
to his chariot wheela he thereby becomee
the aupreme power from whose flat there
can be no appeal? la he bent upon noth-
ing short of driving the people of New
Orleana Into a revolution? Has he de-
veloped In thla ruthlesa overriding of
th people a will qualities that will en-
courage the people of Louisiana to in-
trust him with the proposed million dol-
lar school bond Issue or to support his
well-known aspirations for the Tnlted
Statea aenatorshlp?"
Thla la hut a sample nf the artlclea that
have appeared In the three papers alne
the entry of Governor Blanchard Into the
city on September It. The Statea and
Picayune were ardent champions of th-
candldscy of Blanchard for the governor-

ent climax advocated nls views.

BUSTON HERE AGAIN. -
Discusses Efforts to Find New
. Supply of .Cotton.
(Houston Poat Special.) -New
York September C Arthur J.
Bus'uon th well known English cotton
ata'lstlcian and crop estimator has just
arrived on his annual visit to this coun-
try. Mr. Buaton has a substantial fol-
lowing among the Lancashire spinners
and tor years hia estimates of th cotton
crop usually made In October hav been
given great weight by th English spin-
ners. In th eourss of an interview Mr. Bua-
ton was asked whether ths' Brttiah apln-
nera were giving th report of damage
to th currant crop any greater weight
than they gav to last year's damagaj report-
l
'1 am sura they ar giving tha report
of damage full weight this year Mr.
Bustoa answered. "They art in ail ossss
protecting themselvea by purchases of
actual aoiwB ssainsi usir svtraa
goods and thsy ar buying their cotton
at th South th South Itself Is selling
th cotton which Is a rather significant
feature."
"Ar ths English aplnnara placing much
dependence on th development of hew
aourcea of production V Mr Buston was
asked. "I do not think tbe .pinners ar
viewing the matter from the standpoint
of aid requirements. They ar In fact.
Inclined to take very llttl notlo as a
fast or for th near future as th actual
production of this new cotton 1 ao amall.
But for th future th new aourcea ot
production muat be reckoned a dlatinot
feature in the situation. Th high prie
of cotton ha mad th movement to find
new aourcea of cotton a practical matter
and It la by no means a dream. Th Cot-
ton Growar' association Is not standing
alone In this matter: th government Is
helping them and they ar receiving
liberal aubacrlptlons they ar not doing
lt all themselvea I am convinced that
inald of ihree years thes new source ot
cotton production will be giving enough
new cotton to become an active factor In
calculation. On hundred thousand bale
ar not going to help but evan It th new
production Is increased In three years to
only 200000 bales that la an amount
worth considering. Thla matter of raising
cotton Is Africa is Just aa ranch a (actor
aa tbe Irrigation of Egypt and th ben-
efits that hav arlaen and will aria from
that.
"People are apt to undareatlmat th
importano of an addition of 100000 or
600000 or 1000000 bales of cotton to the
production; they compare It with the
crop of the United State and th figure
teem magnificent In comparison. But It
means if we raise aay 100000 balea for
the aaka of argument there are 300000
additional bale to be apun by our apln-
nera. I attach a great deal of importance
to the movement. Th point I that w
have apeaklng broadly a sufficient crop
at the present time to meet the world's
requirements and th development of
new aourcea of production mean the
creation of a aurplus production or at
any rat It means tb prevention of a
famine. I am ons of thoa who believe
that when you got th price ot an ar-
ticle as for Instance cotton high
er.ough. It will operate quietly but amall
Intereata will combine and It will stimu-
late the growth. Tbe high price of
cotton muat therefore he a powerful help
to th Cotton Grower' association In
promoting the growing industry In Africa
and tn th West Indie. You can grow
cotton If you tan get a high prloa. You
can not grow It wnen price ar around
I cent but you can grow It when prices
are 10 to lt cent and when th indus-
try la once started It is very apt to adjust
Itself to a material reduction from this
level."
