Chicago. Oct. H6.-Chairman Will
liam NJ. Butler. of the Republican
National Committee today issued the
following statement:
Eight days from now the Ameri-
can people will elect a president IF
the United States.
I'VE believe that Calvin Coolidge
will then be named chief executive
of the nation and so be enabled 10
continue the work he has already
started in leading this country on
the road to permanent prosperity.
Calvin Coolidge and prosperity
has become the countrywide slogan.
Workipgmen everywhere appreciate
that only through continuation of
prosperity can employment condi-
lions improve. They are not to be
mised by false doctrines. Business
men await the verdict of the Ameri-
can people. Farmers desire above
everything else that the situation,
now so rapidly improving: be not
disturbed.
Forces are at work to disrupt
everything. The Socialist third party
nominee for president has made his
appeal to the voters of the MisSis-
sippi valley. He has asked them to
throw into the discard the consti-
tuition, the very protector of the well
fare OF the people. The peoples
welfare means their prosperity. He
has advocated government owner
chip of railroads and other danger
Gus doctrines. Now he has gone east,
once more to plead these theories to
industrial workers.
I'VE do not believe for n moment
that tine American people will be
fooled. We are more confident than
ever that they will elect Coolidge
president eight days hence. We do
not think that they will countenance
throwing this election into congress.
"Our faith is based upon the fun
damental desire of everyone for pros
porous times. The United States has
already entered upon n prosperous
period. Calvin Coolidge. more than
any other one man in the world, has
contributed to that condition. His
policies of economy, tax reduction
opening of foreign markets, all have
played part.
4 1T Is mighty important that every
ITO insure victory for those forces
working for continued prosperity. i
appeal to the Republican workers
throughout the United states not to
relax for one minute their efforts to
bring out the vote. If the people 60
to the polls in great numbers. there
will be no question about the results
We have but n few days left. Those
days should be devoted to seeing that
our neighbors and friends take part
in this tremendously important cleo
ton of a president.
'Tn stating that we think Mr.. Coo
lidge will be overwhelmingly elected
on November 4. we base our belief
upon this desire of the citizens o!
America to continue in the ways OF
peace and prosperity"

New York. Oct. H6.-OBy A. P)-
Moderately cheerful tone was APP

circles last week. Money remained
easy. the security markets were
steady and industrial news was rca-
sonably good. Closer approach of
the election failed to have n dis

The cheapness OF money was eX-
planned partly by a sizeable produc-

railroad officials were inclined to be-
lieve that the seasonal peak had
been reached. The latest figures cX-
coed those for the corresponding
week of last year and are within
10000 cars of the high record for all
time. Grain loadings fell off but
those of coal improved and the
movement of general merchandise
and less than carload freight reach
ed new top. Publication of the
first few railroad earnings state
ments for September revealed an en-
couraging situation. Although gross
revenues were slightly smaller than
last year. net income was larger. In
September. 1929, the class l roads
