 'It is Of course, well known that there will be demand that Pre5i- dent Coolidge accept another term and only if the president leclines 10 respond 10 this demand will the field he open 10 others" he said
 Mir, Roosevelt democratic nominee for vice president in 1920, based his belief on the mako up Of the next congress, on the results of his sur yey of the national situation, made known in a statement in New York. He said the survey, conducted in states were 33 senators will be elect cd next fall, showed that eight demo- cratic candidates were certain of election and that he democrats would make sufficient inroads among the remaining % to give them control of the senate.

MAY 13.-An ancient legend

in Ecuador and on the west

Of years ago, has been given
color by the recent accl-

The discovery was made by Captain

mines far up in the mountains
The two former army officers were
making the trip to attempt to prove
statements contained in old docu-

the gold mines which the Spanish are
reputed to have hid and abandoned
when they were driven from the
country in 1921.
They were returning here with
their information about one of the
mines, which Captain De Valda be-

exist-when some Indians told them

Following their Indian guides the
two white men came upon three

Specimens that the two men have
