following statement:

be my purpose to know that had the wholehearted and
undivided moral support of the city which the hotel

This, to my way of thinking splendid center for

return the investment. But there is, in my opinion,
not field for two hotels of that type and any underak
ing that would look to that would not onya lack
of return on the investment but actual loss.
That states the factor which have to consider and
for the present. because of that fact not ready to
make any announcement to what my plans may event

to this extent.
Should the conditions present themselves that was
satisfied the undertaking mertorious from the in
vestment view it would be in line with my view of this
field that such structure should be of not less than
l5O rooms originally erected upon lines that would make
easily possible to increase it to hotel of $50 rooms

circumstances would ask require consider assistance
in financing from Douglas if it finally resulted that

to give to the city hotel that not only would meet all
needs and for years but that would be worth

COOLIDGE AND
ALFONSO TALK
President Tells King Of Spain
BY Telephone War Danger
Lessons

Washington, Oct. 13.-(AP)-
Speaking over . radio and cable
circuit $500 miles long, President
Coolidge and King Alfonso Of Spain,
fnaugurated today a telephone
service between their two countries,
aeclaiming the new means Of COM
Smunication as great factor in the
perpetuation of friendship and
peace between them.
Awaiting himself of his first OPP
portunity to speak by radio-telephone
with Europe, Mr.. Coolidge told King
Alfonso that with the possibility Of
communicating with far countries by
word Of mouth "the danger Of any
serious disagreement is immeasur-
hbly lessened."
President Coolidge's voice en-
ploysd about one-fifth Of a second
to reach the king Of Spain, $500
miles away in Madrid. The circuit
employed included wire transmission
from Washington to Rocky Point,
Long Island, whence Mr.. Coolidge's
remarks were broadcast across 5000
miles Of ocean to Cupar, Scotland.
From Cupar 1854 miles of direct
wire circuit brought the chief ex-
ecutive voice to the border of Spain,
over British and French telephone
lines and through a submarine cable
across the channel.
The king Of SPANS voice was re-
turned by similar arrangement
with the broadcasting plant at
Rugby, England, and the radio re-
sewing set at Houlton, Maine.

TWICHELL LAYS
CAMPAIGN PLAN
Heaviest Guns Scheduled BY
Independents for Late in
October

Concentrating his attention upon
state political issues, L. L. Twichell,
manager Of the Independent head
quarters here, has been busy for the
last week perfecting an organization
in each county Of the state. The
heavy guns of the Independent
speakers will be turned on their OPP
ponents in a whirlwind campaign
during the last two weeks before
election, Twichell indicated.
The main job Of the independents,
as he sees it, is to acquaint the
voters with the issues involved in
the political situation in the state.
These issues, he said, are the same
as the issues in the primary CAM
paign last June at which George +.
Shafer won the Republican guber-
ntorial nomination.
It is expected that the Independent
campaign will be almost wholly one
Of education and that there will be
less effort concentrated on the job
OF getting the voters to the polls
than was the case in the primary
election. Interest in the national
campaign and the workers interested
in the presidential candidates. of
Smith and Hoover are expected to
do most Of the work in getting out
the vote. Twicheu's main concern
is that the voters be sufficiently well
informed so that they may vote as
Independents on state issues when
they do get to the polls.
The Independent headquarters
here is preparing to concentrate it's
efforts on the gubernatorial contest.
They are confident that Shafer will
win but are planning to leave moth
ing undone to insure his success.
The rest Of the candidates. Of men
opposed to Independent nominees
are regarded a. less formidable than
that Of Walter Maddox for the
governorship and will attract less
attention from Independent workers.

AS an additional accommodation. the
tickets will hereafter be numbered, so
that two or more adjoining seats may
be secured The Office of T. Arthur
Smith has kindly offered to reserve
tickets upon application by telephone or

of the hall, to which the tickets will
