40 Progressives of 1912 Pledge Aid and Play ,
 Old Line Parties

Chicago, Oct. 2S.--John M. Nell son, national director of the La Toilette Wheeler campaign, today made public joint declaration of some 40 supporteSs of the Roosevelt progressive party of 1912. pledging assistance in the endeavor to elect the independent candidates.
 The list of signers was headed by Harold L. Ickes former Bull Moose committeeman from Illinois; Amos Pinchot, New York; Miss Jane Ad- dams and Francis J. Heney. of Cali fornia.
 "Progressives, except those who ever since 1912 have been apologiz- ing for their temporary alteration in that year, find In Robert NJ. La Toilette, a leadership they may con- fidently follow" the statement said.
 We are told in one breath that this is a government of parties, im- plying that parties should be held responsible for misgoNernment. We are told in the next breath that President Coolidge, as leader of the republican partN Is personally hon. est and unscathed by the Washing ton scandals The inference is that while the republican party should be chastised for mslfeasance. the leader of that party should be elect ed president for four years. Any party would thrive on this sort of punishment.
 "We have waited in vain for the republican party to drive its own rascals out, or even rebuke them.

BANKS REPORT NEW ]. !, COUNTERFEIT 2O'S.
Federal Authorities Expected to
 Investigate Circulation Here
MADE FROM S5 BILLS
Merchant Said To Have Included Spurious Money in Deposit After Being Warned It Was Fake-Ar-
  rest Anticipated.

New Britain banks are concerned over what appears to be a system atic business of raising five dollar bills to 20's and passing them off on local businessmen, Bank have is- sued a warning to the public to watch $20 bills as well as s10 bills for commercials.
 The s20 bills, raised from fives have been noticed within the last few days and in that time four or five of them have been detected in at least two local banks.
 Deposited Counterfeit 20
 There is a story going around which seriously involved local businessman, whose name has not been divulged. This man, who con- ducts a store on the outskirts of the city, Is alleged to have paid a bill with a check, when he did not have sufficient funds in the bank to cover. His creditor returned the check and requested cash payment, which he received. It is alleged that the cash included one of the raised 20's.
 It was returned to the man with the advice not to try to use 1t. La- ter the same bill is said to have been found in cash turned fin at the mans bank for deposit. The secret serv- ice department at Providence, the nearest branch office, was notified and operatives are expected to ar- rive today,
 An Arrest Maybe Made
 The bill is considered by bankers and experts in handling money to be 8 crude job. but is one which might easily deceive the average man if passed with good bills. It Is made by cutting the corners off of genuine 20's and pasting them over the fives, the corners being neatly trimmed to make a good match.
 On the back of the bill where the word five" is spelled out, 1t is eras- ed and the impression given that it has worn off. only old bills being
 
 used for the purpose.
 May Be Done Here
 That the actual work of raising is being done right in New Britain seems plausible due to the fact thai one bank reports an unusually in- creased number of genuine $20 bills having been deposited with the cor ners mutilated recently. Only one corner Is taken off of one bill, thus requiring four genuine twenties to raise one five, then the genuine twenties find their way into bank and are accepted at face value and there is a chance of getting an extra s15 on the tempered s5.
 One way in which people can save themselves from being "duped" by the raised bills 1t is stated is to watch the pictures. The five dollar bank notes contain pictures Of Lin- coin. Harrison or Jackson, and silver certificates contain the picture of an Indian. Anything other than these should be examined carefully before acceptance, according to the Warn- ing.

LaFollette WiH Carry Fight To
 Industrial Centers N Ke East
Certain West Is Safely Progressive Wall Street Seeks to Intimi- date Workers With Threat of Closing Fac toriesif He Wins.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 La Toilette Special En Route to Grand Rapids. Mich, Bareau. Illi- nois, Oct. 23.---Bound for Grand Rapids, Mich, where he will speak tonight before carrying his fight for the presidency into eastern states, Senator La Toilette today issued this statement:
 q am going into the east to fin- ish my fight for the presidency for number of reasons.
 West Is Safe
 First, I know that the west Is safe for the progressive ticket and that If the progressive eastern states with large electoral votes are carried by us, we will win the election by the direct vote of the people on No- vember 4.
 Second, I know that If the people of the eastern states are permitted to render a verdict influenced by their own desires and political con- victions, we will carry these eastern states.
 Workers Intimidated
 Third, I know that Wall street Is attempting to coerce the workers of the large industrial centers into vot- ing for either Coolidge or Davis under threat of closing down every factory and throwing millions out of work in the event of my election.
 T am going into the industrial centers to tell the workers personal ly that, under the secret Australian ballot system, no man is permitted to know how they vote and to lend my personal leadership to the great group of eastern progressives, who are working to reclaim the govern- ment for the people.
 The Slush Fund Angle
 "Fourth, important and vital in- formation is being brought to me regarding the huge slush fund which is being raised by Wall street in the industrial states of the east.
 ''It is necessary that I should be near at hand in order to consult with my counsel and keep in close touch with this situation which de- velops new angles daily and almost hourly.
 At the proper time I witl dis close this information from the platform or through counsel repre- senting the progressives before the Borah committee, which now is in- vestigating campaign contributions and expenditures"
 Senator La Toilette concluded 8 two-day campaign in Illinois with an address last night in Peoria, in which he assailed President Cool idge, advocated collection of the foreign debt and outlined the tax revision program he favored.
