BOND ISSUE TALK
ST|RS REPUBLICANS
Democrats Are Expected to Use
Panama Canal Bonds and
Not Seek New Ones.

Republican leaders in Congress
evinced the utmost interest today In
plans Of the Democrats for bond Issue
up to $40 100000 to meet the cost OF the
Mexican expedition and the sanding of
militia to the Southwest.
While Democratic leaders have talked
OF getting authority to issue a new lot
OF bonds. IL has been settled that in
stead OF this Panama bondo will be sold
In such sums as necessary.
The reason Tor avoiding an attempt
TO get authority for a new bond issue
Is political. The Democratic leaders
fear their opponents would otir up too
much discussion in Congress. and would
promote the impression that the Demo-
cratic regime Ia extravagant.
