MANIA, p. l., Oct. manuel
Roxas, speaker in the Philippine legisla-

urged upon the planters the necessity

Jointly with the representatives of
tobacco, cocanut and oil interests for
the purpose of making a systematic

prepare best for the anticipated sudden
disruption of trade relations with the
United States which are apt to follow
the granting of independence to the

1T does not follow that with in
dependence that our free trade relation

sarily be disrupted" Speaker ROxas
said. There is no legal or polictical
reason to prevent the United States
from entering into an agreement with
the Philippines providing for reciprocity
and free trade between the countries,
especially since the United States is
desirOus of doing her utmost for our
welfare" he continued. '"'.

delivered by Paul Boucour of France,
in the unanimous opinion of the dele
gates, stood out as the most striking
Of all as an eloquent exposition of the
protocol.
Until the day comes when questions
like raw materials, markets, emigration
and immigration are studied and
remedied we still run the risk of ruin
but when that settlement comes to
the world, the present day hope will
be transferred into universal cry of
joy" NJ. BOucour said. 1
In conclusion he made a plea for
American participation in the league,
paying tribute to the memory of the
late Woodrow Wilson and saying I'VE
hope to see that nation collaborate in
our work, animated by that highest
form of idealism which she so amply
demonstrated during the great war;"
Raoul Dandurand of Canada said that
the dominion would be loyal to the
government and would vote for the pro-
tocol resolution but he remarked that
Canada, when she subscribed to the
covenant, was far from the thought
that she would have the entire burden of
representing North America when an
appeal came for assistance in maintain
ing peace in Europe.
THE falling away of the United
States" he said, "has increased in her
eyes the risks we have assumed and the
history of Europe during the last five
years has not been such as to lessen
that apprehension"
The other speakers included represen-
tative of Sweden, Brazil, Poland.
Persia, Chile and Uruguay.
The president of the assembly, in his
closing words, included an appeal for
Franco-German approachment and a
eulogy of the late President Wilson.
1T is to the glory of that great presi-
dent" he said, "a worthy successor of
Washington and lincoln, that he did
not permit the Paris peace conference
to dispense until the League of Ma
tions covenant had been adopted as
the cornerstone of the new temple of
peace"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Two re
markable Statements were made here by
William M. Butler, chairman of the re.
publican national committee, upon his
arrival after month out in the coun-
try:
i. Evidence has come into his hands
indicating coalition between democrats
and progressiyes for the purpose Of com.
bining to throw the election into con.
gress.
2. Statements have. reached him to
the effect that some republicans favor
joining with democrats to elect Davis il
the coRtest goes to the house, in order to
prevent throwing the election into the
senate, where Bryan probably would be
chosen. ~
These two statements bring out into
daylight the subject of many r1mors OF
deals, trading and double-crossing
which have been floating around among
politicians for weeks. Recently Bryan
was summoned to Chicago headquarters
and it was said there was complaint
that he was flirting too much with La
Toilette.
Confident of Victory
Butter reiterated Inat ne is cOMlueni
Coolidge and Dawes will be elected out
right.
IF the election goes to congress there
will be chaos and disaster to business,
Butler said. II don't think any combi
nations against us will be successful. j
have not changed my opinion that we
will win by Il straight-out electioni
Cpon being questioned, Butler Sait
he had discovered some evidence indi
eating that there is a coalition of dem
ocrats and La Toilette independents in
Iowa, and in some other states which
he did not care to name.

GOV. ". B. ROSS
OF WYOMIN G
EXPIRES AT 81
Executive Was Son Of
Former Tennessee Court
Clerk
(By Associated Press

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. Oct. 2.-Gov-
ernor William B. Ross died in Memorial
hospital here this morning at $40
o'clock. Late last night the governor S
condition was pronounced as extremely
grave and but faint hope was entertain
ed that he would survive the night.
Governor Ross underwent an opera
tion for appendicitis at the hospital
here last Wednesday. The operation
was pronounced successful, but within
the last few days his condition became
serious. with the development of COM
plications. The executive was stricken
soon after he had addressed meeting
at Laramie, Wyo., Tuesday night, Sep
tcmbcr %.
Physicians who attended Governor
Ross said last night that phlebitis, an
inflammation of the veins, had set in
three days ago.
Fifty-one Years Old
Governor Ross was 81 years old and
is survived by his widow, who was
Miss Nellie Tayloe of Missouri, and
three sons, two of whom are students
at the University of Wyoming.
William B. Ross was the third dem
ocratic governor to be elected in Wyom-
ing during its "a years of statehood.
His election in 1922 followed one of
the bitterest political campaigns ever
waged in this state.
Among his most notable official acts
were the recommendation of submission
Of a constitutional amendment prOvid-
ing for a severance tax and the calling
of a special session of the legislature
to provide farm loans and other emer-
gency legislation. The tax amendment
which he recommended will be sub
mitted to the electorate at the Novem-
Der election.
Native Of Tennessee
Governor Ross came to Wyoming
from Tennessee in 1901. He was just
out of law school and opened law of
flee in Cheyenne. Within a few years
he was elected prosecuting attorney of
Laramie county. In 1917 he was can
didate for the governOrship, but was
defeated in the primary election by a
small majority.
Secretary of State Lucas automatical-
~ became acting governor upon the
death of Governor Ross. The law pro-
vides, however, that he shall issue a
proclamation announcing the demise OF
the governor and his assumption of the
duties of the governorship and that at
the same time he shall issue a procla-
nation calling for the election of a
governor November 4. These procla-
nations probably will be withheld until
after the funeral of Governor Ross. The
death of Governor Ross changes the
political complexion of the executives
office. Mr.. Lucas is republican.

DaDis-La Toilette Coalition
Is Charge d By Butler
Obvious Plan Is To Throw Election Into Con-
gress, Says G. O. P. Chairman

"Such arrangements have been talked
about, according to my information,
he said. THE apparent purpose Is not
to have an election. The logical outcome
of such q situation would be to throw
the election into the senate. But i
don't think the combination will be sue
cessful.
II have heard it suggested that re-
pnbiicans would be willing to joint the
democrats in electing Davis if the con-
test goes to. the house. But l believe
we will have a decisive decision by the
election Of Coolidge at the polls"
Silent On Brookhart -
Butler said he has not received the
original of the letter from Senator
Brookhart demanding that Charles G.
Dawes resign from the ticket. Mean
time he declines to discuss the case, be-
lieying the matter is one for action by
Iowa republicans. Butler said that con-
trary to current reports, his information
is that Brookhart does not intend to
declare for la Toilette.
Butler believes there has been a re-
cession of the La Toilette movement in
various republican states which were
uncertain ten days ago, but he still re-
CARDS him as more formidable than
Davis. Butler also advanced the asser-
tion that in reality, Charles w. Bryan
is candidate for the presidency, hop
ing to profit by a congressional dead
lock.
Il would list the opposing presidential
candidates in this order" he said,
"Bryan. La Toilette and Davis. The
hope of the La Toilette party and of the
democrats is to prevent an election"
" The paramount issue, he added, is the
Election of Coolidge.
The President, Butler said, will not
make any speeches outside of. Washing
ton, and has no strictly political ad-
dresses scheduled. He may make several
radio talks before election.
