LA TOILETTE NOT TO RUN.
Declines to Become Progressive Can
didate for Governor in Wisconsin.

MADISON, Wis, October ST shall
not be an Independent candidate and shall
so publicly announce.
This is the final reply. made public to-
day, of Senator La Toilette to the Wis
consin progressives who have appealed
to him to enter the state contest as an
independent candidate for governor. The
senator says, in part:
THE primary vote was small, the NOM
ination was by a minority and involved
a complete reversal of the established
policy of the state For these reasons
it has been my personal opinion that
there ought to be an Independent candi-

warrant a public official who has been
elected to serve in another capacity in
becoming an independent candidate on
the call of voluntary conference with
out action on the part of the voters on
which to predicate such candidacy.

NEW YORK BANK GETS
SPECIAL j. S. DEPOSIT
Secretary McAdoo Rewards Insti-
tuition for Taking Up State of
Tennessee Loan.

special deposit of s400. 900, subject
to call. was made by Secretary Nc
Adoo of the Treasury Department as
part Of the agreement by which the
National Park Bank of New York city
was induced to take up a loan of ST.
100000 for the state Of Tennessee. To
save the state of Tennessee from de-
1auiting on maturing obligations was
the motive which actuated Secretary
McAdoo in his Intervention to insure the
making of the loan to meet the obliga-
tions.
An explanation is made by the Secre-
Iary OF the treasury in a telegram sent
70 the editor of the Nashville Banner
It details the part played by Secretary
McAdoo in placing a part Of the Ten
nessee loan with the New York bank.
The telegram reads:
Corrects Misstatements.
1t Is not customary for the Treasury
Department to publish details of trans
actions with individual banks, but in
order to set at rest various misstate-
ments that have been made about the
state of Tennessee loan, I gladly reply
to your letter. The National Park
Bank agreed to take s1.4O0,O0 of one
year, per cent notes of the state of
Tennessee at par without any COM
mission. and l agreed to give the bank,
which is a regular United States de-
pository, a special deposit of 100000,
which is subject to call at any time.
I was glad to do this in order to save
the state from a possible default upon
its obligations. which, was told. would
have happened If the state had been
unable to effect the loan.
Previous deposits made with the
National Park Bank several weeks be-
fore were for crop-moving purposes,
and had no relation whatever to the
state of Tennessee loan. which at that
time had not even heard Of"
