agricultural and lumber situation In
that section, both of which Mr. Terry
described as being excellent. He told
the President that Los Angeles has
developed as the largest lumber
shipping center in the United States
and gives promise of becoming the
largest in the world.
President Coolidge will carry Neu
York State by a plurality of more
than million, was the optimistic
opinion expressed at the White House
today by former Senator Calder OF
Brooklyn, n. Y. Senator Calder has
been actively engaged in campaigning
throughout the State, and is now
starting out on a speaking tour of
the country.
Senator Calder stated that the Re-
publican national ticket will sweep
New York State. and that it will win
out in New York City by a wide mar
gin. He intimated that the populax-
ity of Al Smith, who is again a can
didate for governor. makes the cleo
ton of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. the
Republican nominee for governor. a
matter of doubt He expects, how
ever, that "a Coolidge landslide in
New York will carry the former AS
sistant Secretary of-the Navy through.
Representative MacLafferty of Cal
ifornia, who conferred with Presi-
dent Coolidge today preparatory to
starting out on speaking tour for
the national committee, stated that
there is no reason for people outside
of California putting so much cred
once in the report about the strength
of La Toilette in that State. He
said that while the Wisconsin Sem
ator has built up a large following,
principally in northern California,
this strength has been shown to be
more or less superficial and it is
known that the peak of his strength
was reached several weeks ago and
that from now On until election the
Republican prospects will become
brighter. He predicted that Presi-
dent Coolidge would carry California
by at least 100000 plurality.
The political situation in Michigan
was described to the President today
by Hal Smith of Detroit. who with
drew from the primar ries which finally
elected Senator CouzenS as the Re-
publican nominee for the Senate. He
was accompanied to the White House
by Assistant Secretary of Commerce
Drake. Mr.. Smith told the President
that complete harmony prevailed
among the Republicans of Michigan
that there is practically no Davis
sentiment in the State, and that the
La Toilette movement has not as
sumed serious proportions, and that
on November 4 it will be found that
Michigan will have given the Repub-
lican candidate for President one of
it's old-time pluralities.

game of chess. With the executive
and legislative branches using every
form of strategy to checkmate, an
open warfare has developed with the
return of two important legislative
measures receiving the presidents

ing their acts inspired by selfish po-
litical motives and so the controver-

Sixty-eighth Congress draws to an

The President, in vetoing the bon

not permit legislation of this char

500 CHILDREN IN "HIS
CHILDRENpS CHILDREN

Just think of paying 500 children
to attend a picnic! That's just what
Sam Wood did for a children's May
party in Central Park, New York,
which was staged for scenes in "His
Children's Children" a perturbation
of Arthur Trains novel, which Mr..
Wood produced for Paramount and
which comes to the Liberty theatre
next Thursday for two days.
With the five hundred youngsters
as q nucleus and a merry-go-round,
trick mule, a performing donkey,
a Punch-and-Judy show, hot dog
stand, ice cream and gimcracks of
all kinds as magnets, there was little
trouble in drawing every kid within
calling distance of the Casino into
the picture. In fact, tn. party grew
tt such prop within fifteen
malates after the ten sightseeing
hi..es had dep ,sitcd the children on
the picnic ground that Sir. Wood
and his assistants had a difficult
time handling the uproarous bunch.
But the hardest of all to control
were the mothers-fve hundred of
them too who wanted to get into
the picture with their offspring or
were solicitous about their children
being in the center of the picture.
There were more potential Jackie
Coogans and Baby Peggys-to take
the mothers word for it before
the cameras in Central Park than
one could imagine. Obviously it was
for Mr.. Wood to put all
Of the kiddies in the front rank, but
he couldn't make the mothers see
that. Each parent was positive her
child was the cutest and cleverest
IN the crowd and there were some
blond heads, kinky black ones, dim
oled elbows, sparkling blue eyes, and
hundreds of cute snub noses.
1t was a hectic day, but the result
was gratifying to Director Wood

gave the picnic party, and it was

WOLF POINT NURSE
DIES AT GLASGOW
DESPONDENCY LEADS MARIE
PRELLIER TO RASH ACT

Marie Prellier, aged 18, who hac

hospital as nurse most of the time
since it was started, died at the
Deaconess hospital, Glasgow, We'd
nesday evening at $3.50, as the re-
suit of a pistol wound near the
heart, self inflicted Tuesday after
noon. Dependency so deep that it
brought temporary mental derange-
ment is believed to have lead to the
desperate act. Miss Prellier was
troubled with partial deafness and
was given to brooding over the af-
Fiction. This combined with an af-
fair of the heart presumably induc-
ed fits of uncomfortable despon-
dency.
Miss Prellier was an unusually
pretty girl, popular with the young
people of her acquaintance and liked
by all. She was a daughter of Mrs.
Lou Woods of Great Falls, and a
niece of Mrs. Costello, manager of
the Wolf Point hospital. She took
a course in nursing at Columbus
hospital, Great Falls. An older sis
ter, Madge, is in California, and a
younger sister, Marguerite, resides
here with her aunt.
Leaving here on the morning To-
cal Tuesday, with Great Falls sup
posed to be her destination, Miss
Prellier got off at Glasgow, strolled
about the city, played a phonograph
IN a dry goods store, and finally en-
5ered a hardware store and purchas-
ed revolver. People who observed |
Ter said she appeared i'll. At the /
lotel she was restless, walking
