Nick Longworth, speaker of the
national house of representatives
will be in Washington this. week,
ostensibly on vacation, but more
likely to look into his chances for
picking up some of the delegations

worth has his eye on the republi-
can nomination for president The
chances are Mr.. Longworth will
find a nice time, good fellows. some
applause and all that sort of stuff
but no delegates. Those who
keep their eye on politics in this
state see Mr.. Coolidge, Mr.. Hoov-
er, Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Lowden
all raising dust in front of Mr..
Longworth.
It seems, at this time, Mr.. Cool
idge has a pretty tight grip on the
republicans of Washington. The
"third term" scare does not APP
pear to be registering in this state,
most of the republicans figuring
that Mr.. Coolidge's election would
be for second term.
On the other hand, the common
impression is that Mr.. Coolidge is
making pretty good president.
His stand for economy, resulting
in consistent reductions in taxes
and the national debt, is an effect

is fair and the business people
have nothing against the presi-

an effective antidote for Mc-Nary-

Engineer Sam Humes is gone on

Washington, which will last for
about a week. Governor Hartley

Western Washington is greatly
pleased by the prospect of a big
wheat crop for eastern Washing
ton. State officials, after inspec-
tions and reports, look for from
47,O0O,O00 to $4,000, 900 bushels of
wheat. which may bring around
fifty-five million dollars into the
state. That is already reviving the
business and the spirit of the east
side, which, of course, is bound to
be reflected west of the mountains.
Then there is sentimental an

have found hard going for many
years, is ready to harvest mon

to hail the comeback of the wheat
growers Of Douglas, Grant, Adams
and Franklin counties, who have
been sticking it out despite year
after year of disheartening defeat.
Every little while the report
hobs up that Mrs. Josephine Pres
ton, superintendent of public IN
struction. may quit the state ser
vice to seek seat in congress.
The idea is that Mrs. Preston
would seek the republican nomin-
alton in the fourth congressional
district to replace Congressman J.
w. Summers Walla Walla, who is
pretty sure to be a candidate Tor
the senate. Such step by Mrs.
Preston would be interesting, OF
course. not only because it would
make a vacancy in an important
office, but also because Mrs. Pres
ton would doubtless have good
chance to win in the fourth dis
trict.
Some of the democrats are also
mentioning Congressman Sam Hill
who represents the fifth congress
sional district, as a probable candi-
date for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor. This idea has
not yet taken hold, but it is being
whispered around by dry demo

NEW HIGHS SCORED
IN BOND DEALINGS
ConvertibIes and InduStriaIs
With High Coupons Are
Prominent.
BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
| NEW YORK. December 14.--Con-
vertible bonds and other industrials
with high coupon rates were again
the most prominent in today's active
and broad bond market. Several new
| record prices for the year were estab-
| lished
Andes Copper IS advanced ga
past week United States Rubber re-
Funding IS sold above 90 on large
transactions and were within a frac-
ton of the highest of the year after
declining last Spring to IS. Good
year IS, however, were low.
Miscellaneous Industrials Up.
There was a miscellaneous list of
industrial bonds including National
Radiator 61as, which crossed par,
West Virginia Coal & Coke 6s, which
were up ~ points from the recent
low, White Sewing Machine Is. Liquid
Carbon IS. Continental Bag & Paper
6Las and j. Kayser 512s to which more
or less speculative attention was
given during the day. Such per
cent issues as Chile Copper. Humble
Oil and Hudson Coal 5s were slightly
better. Dodge IS and Armour 5hs
were lower in the first half of the
session.
The field of public utility financing
is being actively gone over for the
purpose of discovering issues that
may be refinanced with Az per cent
bonds Last year the Duke-Price en-
terprises brought out s per cent
bond at 100 which was looked upon
/, somewhat as an experiment. as the
company was then in the construc-
ton stage. 1t is now proposed to is.
sue additional Az per cent bonds.
Possibly one of the most notable
successes is that in connection with
the Associated Gas & Electric Co.,
whose finances IL months ago were
in a rather confused state, but were
knit together by the new banking
interests that went into the company
and who have from that time on
dominated it's affairs.
Retiring COnvertibles Planned.
1t is planned to retire a large por.
ton of the convertible 515s of 1916
which are selling around the redemp-
ton price of 105. giving per cent
preferred stock in exchange. The So
year 5ks issued last February at 95%
are now quoted around 102. 1t is be.
lieved that under the same auspices
the Cities Service Power & Light 51ss
will also be made attractive to in.
vestors.
High-grade rails stiffened up lit.
tie. There was more than usual &C.
tivity in Third Liberty Ans at a new
low price around 1005s. The junior
bonds of the Florida East Coast and
Seaboard Air Line systems were
heavy. New Haven convertibles ad.
vanced with the stock.
Among foreign issues those of South
American countries were generally
stronger, while the issues of France,
Germany, Poland and Italy were
lower.

BIG CONOWING0 POWER
PLANT TO BE READY SOON

BALTIMORE, December II (Spe-
ciaD.-The new Conowingo plant of
the Philadelphia Electric Co. will be
ready to produce power from its initial
installments early next year, and the
company already has started an in
tensive campaign to open up addition.
al outlets for the current.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is
counted upon to be one of the largest
users of electric power produced at
Conowingo, but this source of con-
sumption will not come until the rail
road lines between Philadelphia and
Washington are electrified. Next to
the Niagara Falls development, the
Conowingo plant will be the largest
in the East, with maximum capac-
ity of half a million horsepower.
The plant complete will cost in ex-
cess of $50,000,000. The Arundel Cor.
poration, which is building the dam,
expects to finish it's work within 80
days.
