Mr.. White. who declared tonight
he had spent the last three days
checking up detailed reports from
all state chairmen, asserted he saw
mo reason to alter my forecast in
which I predicted a certain victory
for the Democratic ticket Mr..
White referred to prediction he
made yesterday.
But, in perfect fairness,I want to
say that this will not be alone a
Democratic victory. It will be vic
tory Of America, victory over dis
loyalty and partisanship, a victory
over the councils of selfishness.
"This nation wants to establish

our allies in the struggle against
imperialism. It wants to extend the
Monroe doctrine to the world. 1t

Americans from the necessity of
laying down lives abroad to save
mankind frim military domination.

ONLY FIVE BANKS WENT IN.

DURING THE YEAR

Washington, Oct. 31-The 8,157

tai, for he fiscal year ended last June

was new high record.
Only five banks went into the

record exceeded only by that of the
year before when there were no fail
ures.
Mr.. Williams decalred the nation
al banks had met the "severest" of
war and reconstruction in a wav
that proved their "solid strength and
the wisdom and fidelity" of: those who
direct them.
"The facts and figures" he added,
must give the American people and
the world increased confidence in the
safety and power of the banking and
business interests of this country" =
Earnings Of the banks came only
from interest and discount, Mr.. Will
liams said, although a total of s97,-
100000 was obtained from exchange

miscellaneous sources.
Losses charged off by the banks

ended October 3d." Mr.. Williams said
lis the greatest in commercial his
tory, not only in amount but in pro-
portion of the decline to former
values.
1.-The national banking system of
the United States has not only en-
dured unshaken the phenomenal
changes but has prospered and
grown seadily and substantially, in
the midst of them. During the past
fiscal year 361 charters were granted
for new national banks with capital
of $31,O77,5OO and 6OS national
banks have increased their capital a
total of $1O4,61s,1OO. The net in
crease Of authorized national banking
capital for the year, after subtractine
all reductions, by consultations, VOL
untary liquidations, receiverships and
reductions of capital is s118,S10,0oO.
This is so per cent. more than the
greatest increase for any preceding
year since 1866"

FIRE BREAKS OUT.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 31.-Ten
negroes are in the Montgomery

houses.

groes, were shot and killed by a
sheriff's possee shortly after mid
night after hey had fired upon an
automobile containing Sheriff Scog-
gin and hree deputies. The sheriff
and his deputies were en- route to
the scene to investigate the fires.
The outbreaks occurred on the farms
of J. T. Davis ad M. S. Holton, white
farmers, but the negroes killed and
arrested are tenants and laborers for
the most part on an adjoining farm
and no motive is ascribed for the at
tacks.
The fires broke out simultaneously
and a reign of terror ensued among
the families of the white farmers
who began telephoning the sheriff.
office for assistance. Responding
promptly Sheriff Scoggin, with four
deputies. set out for the scene in an
automobile which was fired upon
from the roadside as it approached
the locality. The sheriff's posse had
narrow escape from death and only
saved themselves by jumping from
the car on the opposite side of the
road from whence the shots came and
falling to their knees. Using the au-
tomobile as a shield they killed two
of the negroes and effected the cap
ture of ten others.
A hurried telephone call to the
county Jail and police department
brought reinforcements and a drag
net was quickly spread about the To-
cality but only two other suspects
were thereafter arrested during Sun
Cay. A strong guard of deputies is
patrolling the affected scene tonigh
The governors Office has not as yet
