bonds due 1863 at par.
Bonbright and Company offered
an issue of $1,000,000 United and
Power Company Ga per cent gold

at 95, to yield about $50 per cent.
Reports were circulated that rhe
New York Central's equipment

offered shortly.
The National City Bank has ar.
ranged a one-year revolving credit
from $4,000, 900 with the Swedish
National Debt Office Of the United
Kingdom of Sweden. This credit
will preclude the necessity of float
ing a loan for that country, which
had been predicted, while it is in
force, but it is not improbable that
such a loan will be negotiated at
the expiration of that period. In
this connection it was pointed out
yesterday that the investing public
has not received recent offerings
of foreign bonds with complete
alacrity, but as no flotation will be
undertaken in the present instance
this tendency will have no effect.
The interest rate to be paid on the
credit was not divulged yesterday.
The present credit follows the
$4,000, 900 issue of six months
per cent Swedish Treasury bills
floated a few weeks ago. The
proceeds Of those obligations were
Used for commercial purposes. The
present credit will be employ ed
similarly, it is expected, thus at
fOrding dollar balances instead
necessitating the purchase OF dol

men who will vote for Butte will also
support Calvin Coolidge, for the rea-
son that they regard the national
Republican party as more friendly to
the order than the national Demo-
cratic party.
That political conditions in Texas
are seriously threatening to disrupt
the party in this State and bring
about a result that will overturn all
precedents is shown by the alarm
which the State Democratic executive
committee is evidencing. When re-
ports began reaching T.. W. Berry of
Houston, chairman of the Demo-
cratic executive committee, telling of
the strength that seemed to be de-
veloping for Butte. Coolidge and La
Toilette, he Immediately called a spe-
cial meeting Of the committee, which
was held in Austin a few days ago.
At this meeting it was decided to
wage an energetic campaign on be-
half of all of the Democratic cam
didates from President down through
out the State. Never before in the
history of the party in Texas has
it been found necessary to conduct
prediction campaign on behalf of
any Of it's candidates. Heretofore
the primary results were equivalent
to election. w. D. HORNADAY.

situation with regard to the Klan
therefore is somewhat different here
than in other States, where the Re-
publican State ticket has Klan sup
port. Missouri has elected only two
Republican governors since recon-
struction days, Hadley and Hyde.
the present governor. The impress
sion seems to be that Nelson will win
the governorship.
Putting Gov. Bryan, Brother
Charley" on the Democratic national
ticket has not helped in Missouri
There are old friends of the late
Champ Clark who have never for
given William Jennings Bryan for
what he did to defeat Clark for the
presidential nomination in Baltimore
in 1912. There are other Democrats
in Missouri who are not at all pleased
with the pleas being made by John
States into the League of Nations.
May BE Change Soon.
Out in Kansas City the Democrats
are split in two factions, the Goats"
led by Tom Pendergast, and the "Rab-
bits" led by Joe Shannon. This does
not add to the strength of the Demo-
Gratis, though on national issues the
factions act pretty we'll together. But
Walsh, the La Toilette supporter,
which may have some effect on the
election this year, it Is surmised.
With all these cross currents at
work in Missouri, it is difficult to pre-
dict which way the State will go elec-
tion day, both the Democrats and the
Republicans say confidentfally. The
edge would appear to be with the
Democrats at this writing, but mu III
will depend on the way sentiment
crystalizes in the next two weeks.

COALITION LIKELY
TO WIN IN MONTANA
Coolidge, Gaining Strength, Faces
Defeat if Democrats Back
La Toilette.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


HELENA. Mont, October 1S.---The
Republicans cannot carry Montana if
the Democrats are determined to give
it to La, Toilette, and if, in addition, a
radical Republican faction goes bodily
over to the third party, in a trade of
National for State votes
Coolidge has been gaining strength
in this State of late, but developments
of recent days indicate that the loyal
Republican element faces an unusual
situation.
Dispatches out of Washington de-
clare the Democrats are abandoning
the Northwest to La Toilette, under
a deal by which the third party will
throw it's strength in the House to
Davis after the electoral college has
failed to function.
Straws out this way bear out this
story. The Democrats have sent no
big speakers into Montana; they have
left their battle entirely in the hands
of United States Senator T. j. Walsh
who spends much of his time praising
Senator La Toilette. Add to this
that Wheeler. while in the State, ask
ed third-party voters to support SEN
ator Walsh--and you may draw your
The State Republican machine of
Gov. Joseph NJ. Dixon, whisper has
it. has entered into a deal to give
it's power to La Toilette for Presl-
dent, in return for d-party sup
port for Dixon for governor The
Wheelerites and Dixonites in many
ways are birds of a feather and a
trade would not be difficult to en-
gineer.
The conservative Republicans, of
course, stand solid and there is every
probability that they will reap not
few Democrats of the less rabid sort
who are thoroughly disgusted with
Whee'er and all his ilk.
Every poll taken in the State still
shows La Toilette leading Coolidge,
with Davis a poor third. But of late
Coolidge has been creeping up.
There is still a chance that cleo
ton eve will swing to the President
sufficient people who fear the pos
sible chaos of failure in the
electoral college. Davis has no
chance to carry Montana and never
had. But if the whispers of these
deals be true, La o'lette's victory in
Montana merely paves the way for a
Davis victory in the House.

La Toilette Leaders Reported
in Bargain With Democrats
and Race Will Be Close.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

SEATTLE, Wash. October iS-.-
With approximately 100000 voters
registered for the November elections
Washington State will poll one of the
heaviest votes in it's history Novem-
Der 4. 1t is predicted that 100000
votes will be cast and as the rural
districts are heavily registered and
the La Toilette campaign is being
carried to the rural sections by thu
ProgresSiVes, Farm-Labor and Demo
cratic party State nominees for office.
the Wisconsin Senator's campaign is
once more on the up-swing.
Every indication has been that the
La Toilette movement reached its
peak three weeks ago. 1t has taken
a revival since the State supreu3t.
court ruled off the ballot one of the
LA Toilette list of electors and or
dered stricken the name Of La Fol
lette from another ticket
Democrats Rumored in Trade.
The Democrats have virtually abaIt-
doned their national campaign in tho
State. Davis has been traded off for
La Toilette support of Democratic
nominees for Congress and these are
now engaged in carrying the La Fol
lette campaign. AT the same time Il
coalition has been perfected between
senting La Follettes national cam
paign headquarters and the Demo-
cratic State ticket whereby every
possible aid is being given the Demo
cratic nominee for governor in return
for which he is carrying as much a.
possible the La Toilette national cam
paign.
The Republican campaign is shak
ing off the apathy which had settled
over it and is more active. Political
scouts are beginning to segregate
these spots in the State where the
La Toilette movement is strongest and
a determined effort has been launched
to break down the aIgnmentS This
drive is meeting with success
Lack of harmony and a wide diver
gence of view among the various
groups of La Toilette supporters stfn
exist in the larger voting centers, bur
this is being offset from a Repub-
lican standpoint by a swing of Dem
ocratic voters into the La FolIett"
column.
There is also noticeable increasing
sentiment among business men Of the
State towards taking more active
interest in the campaign. This senti-
ment is strongly Coolidge. The lines
are becoming more tightly drawn on
the national issues with the Repub-
HcanS as conservatives on one side
and the Progressiye-Demo Farm
er-Labor-Socialist coalition on th@
other. The State normally should
cast approximately sS per cent Of its
vote conservative Republican.
With the heavy registration of thi-
year and similar percentage voted
Coolidge will carry the State and tn
entire Republican ticket will b.
elected. JAMES DeK. BROWN.
