Indication Of Harmony.
The presence Of Roper in the

indication Of the harmony that
will prevail In the Democratic

one Of the most ardent supporters
OF William Gibbs McAdoo in the

his fullest support to Mr.. Davis. Y

President as an Independent
nominee in Wisconsin, North
Dakota and South Dakota while
abandoning the State Republican
organizations to the La Toilette
insurgency.
Would Foil La FoIlette.
This move was advocated 81 the
Presidents closest political advisers
as a means Of clrcumventing the
purpose Of La Follette's managers
to steal the Coolidge electoral
votes in those States. This could
be accomplished, it was pointed out,
by the La Follette-controIled Re-
publican state organizations select
ing sss Republican electors" only
such men as actually favored the
Wisconsin Senator. In the electoral
college, although elected as Coolidge
men, they could cast their votes for
La Toilette and there would be no
preventive.
William M. Butler. Republican ma
tional chairman, will come to Wash

the plan with the President. He
was said to favor sending Coolidge
into the three States as an indie.
