LONDON, Oct. 4.-WhiIe bands of
militant suffragettes surged about the
exterior of the house of parliament
fighting with policemen and delivering
impromptu speeches from any eminence
that offered and TO anyone who would
listen, the solemn and sleepy body of
English lawmakers was discussing with
grave concern the evils OF cigarette
smoking upon the youth of the British
Isles. There were confessions from
eminent men and some-even aristo-
cratic Edward Banbury - admitted to
smoking and being very sick when
young.
Parliament settled down to a paternal
discussion of the failings and am

MONTANA.

Butte, Mont. Nov. 2.-The evening be-
fore the election in Montana finds the
chairmen of the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties both making confident pre-
dictions of their respective national and
state tickets.
Probably the most significant feature of
the eleventh hour sentiment is the great
" reduced estimate State Republican
Chairman o. NJ. Lanstrum makes for the
ma jority for his party. Last Thursday
Chairman Lanstrum claimed that Mon
tana would give Taft and Edward Don
Ian for governor and the balance of the
state ticket by majorities ranging from
5000 to 10000 Today Mr.. Lanstrums es-
innate places a plurality for Taft and
Sherman a. not less than 2,000 with 5000
for Donlan.
State Democratic Chairman W. B..
Georges estimate tonight is that Montana
will give Bryan popular majority of at
least 10,J00 and a majority of 5000 for
the state ticket The result of election
hinges upon Butte (Silver Bow county,
the Democratic stronghold of the state.
In this county the Democrats count upon
enough votes to offset the normally Re-
publican counties of Montana.
