Terrible catastrophes. such as the

WALL STREET
WANTS COOLIDGE
Big Business 88 Per Cent For
Republican Candidates,
Magazines STRAW
Ballot" Shows.

New York, October.-Wall Street Is
8S per cent for Coolidge!
The Magazine of Wall Street has
taken a straw vote and ascertained
how the international bankers, bond
spectators and stock manipulators
stand. The crooked canyon of con-
crete where Big Business congregates
is Coolidge stronghold. The offices
where protective tariff schedules are
devised and furnished to Republican
Congressman ready made, the di-
rectors' rooms where the railroad lines
of the country terminate in the fingers
of few magnates who operate the
roads not for transportation but for
profits on their stocks and bonds, the
banking Offices where panics are con-
ceived and born, the back room where
monopolies are formed and combina.
tons in retraint of trade are brought
about-all of these record walloping
big majority for Coolidge.
The center of modern financial in
trigue which o. Henry used to call
Bagdad on the Subway lacks only
little of being solidly for the Repub.
lican party and It's silent candidate.
True, a scattering twelve per cent
of the votes are cast for the other
candidates but, as the Magazine of
Wall Street says In Stunning up, the
gote shows "a sufficient preponderance
Of favorable sentiment to indicate--so
far as straw votes can indicate-that,
if our investors and bushes men con-
troll the outcome, the Republican Ma
tional Party will sweep to victory on
veritable tidal wave of votes"
This is taken as telling answer
to those who have been pretending to
believe that John w. Davis is the can
didate of Wall Street"

the Red Cross Is expected to be on

There is grave danger Of the

plans of the 10,O0O. 900 corporation
organized to aid the wheat farmers

1T Is my understanding that this
corporation, which has been organ
lied by private subscriptions, has
the endorsement Of President Cool

capitalization in credits from the

ration. It Is further reported that
this corporation will make loans to

by assignment of their bank stock
as collateral. The loans are to
be advanced to those selected banks
to relieve them of frozen credits,

Naturally. very little win be
realized on this class Of paper
within the immediate future and 1t
is almost equally certain that the
stockholders who personally obligate
themselves will not be In a financial
position to meet the loans when
they fall due.
However, this corporation win
not come under the ban OF the
recent decision Of the Supreme
Court which denied national banks
the right to establish branch banks.
as this corporation win be privately
