.BANKHEAD THROWS
 HIS HAT INTO R|NG" 5" ]. FOR SENATE HONOR
Definitely Announces He Is Tentative Candidate to Succeed Clarke as Presi-
 dent Pro Tempore

Washington, October 14-(Special) ) Senator Bankhead has thrown his hat into the ring. Prompted by a movement in his behalf initiated in Washington, mention of which has already been made ill The Age-Herald, the senator has be- come tentative candidate for the post of president pro tempore of the Senate. Announcement to this effect is made to- day by the senator in letters addressed to his colleagues.
 As previously announced, the indica- tions are that Senator Bankhead will ceed the late Senator Clarke of Arkan- sas, to whom on more than one occa- sicn, he was brother-in-arms. It is prob- able that he will receive the aid of those senators who stand on the "old fashion democracy and independence of action.
 The administration which was beaten in it's attempt last December to encom- pass the defeat of Senator Clarke, has not as yet shown its hand It is re- garded as probable, however, that it will put forth either Senator James of Ken lucky or Senator Hughes of New Jer- sey.
 Senator Stone of Missouri is also re- garded as a possible entrant. On account of the absence from Washington of practically all members of the Senate, a line on the fight cannot be obtained.

London, October 14.--Stand- ing on their own frontier, the Rumanian troops, who recently invaded Pennsylvania from the south and east, are fighting desperately to prevent the forces of the central powers from entering Rumania. Rus sian endorsements are being rushed to the aid of the Ru- manians, a wireless report from Bucharest says, and it is an- nounced that King Ferdinand will take the field at the head of his harassed troops.
 In eastern Pennsylvania and on the Ssouthern border, the Austro- German forces continue to make progress against the invaders. West of Szi1- Szerida the advance had not yet halted and west of the Vulcan pass Rumanian attacks have been checked, Berlin re- ports.
 Fighting on the frontier northeast of Kronstadt, the Rumanians have re- captured a Rumanian village south Bucharest also reports the capture of Mont Siguiello and frontier town in vthe region of Petroseny, with severe losses to the Teutonic forces. The wire less dispatch from Bucharest also an nounces that commission of French officers is on the way to the Ruman- ian capital to the aid of the hard pressed generals of King Ferdinand. More than 150 prisoners, Bucharest says, have been taken by the Rumanians on the various fronts up to the present time.

FARM LOAN BOARD
 WILL NOT ALL OW ! ANY PROMOTIONS
No Schemers Will Have Chance to Make Money Out of Joint Land
 Banks

Washington, October 14-(Special. )--As the farm loan board is soon to visit Bir- mingham for the purpose of securing data relative to the location of the banks it may be well for 1t to be firmly fixed in the minds of those who expect to profit from the matter that Uncle Sam has come down good and hard" on wildcat schemes for promotion.
 Today the matter was fully explained here when officers of the board made 1t plain that not only would promoters be barred and placed on the black list wherever found in connection with the organization of joint stock land banks, but that as the government will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the matter, any efforts to have the farm CTS subscribe to various kinds of funds will be strictly ruled out.
 This action has been taken to put a stop to the scheme of certain promoters. who are, according to the officials of the lean board. holding up the farmers. Their actions have been under investigation for sometime and as nothing of the kind is necessary 1t will not be permit ted.
 A smooth tongued agent is sent to the homes of the farmers of certain sec tion, and they are told that if they will purchase a certain amount of stock in a farm loan associations" this association, when organized. will lend him money The plan is to sell him $50 share of stock for s100 Out of the money which the farmer pays over, half goes to the promotion expense. and the remainder is

New York. October 1L-With a plea for the reelection of President Wilson. John M. Parker of New Orleans, progressive party candidate for vice president, de- livered an address here today at a recep- ton given him my members of the ua- tional progressive party. in which he dwelt at length on the part taken by Theodore Roosevelt and George w.

 Mr. Parker quoted Colonel Roosevelt as saying in 1913 that I am for this cause to fight to the end while life lasts" and that T will never aban- don the principles to which we progress sives have pledged ourselves, and I will never abandon the men and women wnc drew around me to battle for these prin- ciples.

 New York, October 15-(Spe- cial. )-The New York Herald's great political poll published today says:
 Charles E. Hughes main- tains slender lead in the race for the presidency. President Wilson has made slight gains. The margin of safety for the re- publican ticket has narrowed considerably since the Herald's canvass started, but the indica- tions, as shown by the 107, ,403 straw votes, are that if an elec- ton were held today the normal republican strongholds would roll up pluralities just large enough to give MT. Hughes a majority in the electoral col lege.
 CHANGES LESS MARKED
 The changes during the last week were less marked than during the previous week. From all that can be gleaned at this time, the republicans are at standstill and President Will. son is going ahead slowly. The race is a close one. Nowhere is there a sug- gestion of a landslide or anything ap- preaching it.
 | Conditions are such that it would be hazardous now, with the straw vote campaign incomplete, to make defi- nite prediction. There are many indi- cations that the mountainous republi- can pluralities of the Mckinley. Roose- welt and Talft years are dangerously threatened. On the other hand the Pres- ident is holding his own with ease in the strictly democratic territory, and ] is apparently certain to get such states at Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Oklahoma. in each of which the repub- licans believed a short time ago they had fighting chance. or considerably better.
 FOUR STATES WILL DECIDE
 The states of New York. Illinois. Ohio and Indiana will beyond all ques- ton decide the election. Any one of them may.
 The straw votes and the inquiries made by correspondents for the Herald indicate at this writing that MT. Hughes has the better of the situation in New York. Illinois and Indiana, and | it is a 'toss up." in Ohio. All the states mentioned are in doubt.

 Long Branch, N. J., october 14.-In a speech before large delegation of Pennsylvania democrats who came here with bands playing and banners flying, President Wilson declared today that while he is for peace. America is al- ways ready to fight for things that idea of the issues of the present cam pajgn in these words
 America knows that it is faced with this choice: Peace, the continuance of the development of business along the lines which 1t has now established and delevoped and the maintenance of well known progressive lines of action on the one hand; or, on the other, disturbance of policy all along the line, new conditions. new adjustments, un- defined alterations of policy, and back of it all invisible government" The President discussed what he de- clared was the attitude toward war and peace of different elements of the republican party.
 "I understand from the leaders of the republican party that nothing has been done right" he said. 'They do not say that the thing done was always wrong, but the way in which it was done was always wrong. They do not venture to say, that is, the private counsel does not venture to say, that we wanted anything but peace, but they would have preferred some other way not disclosed, of obtaining peace. The vocal part says we wanted war The silent part intimates that we wanted peace, but wanted another kind Of peace. They can never get over that fundamental uneasiness, gentlemen, that America is in charge of some body else than themselves. But Ameri-. ca knows that the things that were done did obtain peace. and it does not know that the things that might have
 EUROPE IS WATCHING
 Mr. Wilson reiterated previous dec- larations that It is almost impossible to do anything in the field of foreign affairs because foreign nations have been led to believe that dominant ele- ment in the republican party is in fa- vor of drawing the United States into the European war and they have been told that it is probable that if they suc-. ceed we shall enter upon a policy of exploitation of our neighbors in Mex ico''
