SEEK CHEAP SYNTHETIC GAS

third to the same purpose, but under a
different process.
Under the shale process, the shale,
which is mined like coal, is crushed and
charged into an oven. From 20 to so
gallons Of crude shale oil are liberated
from ton of material.
Patented in Germany.
Under the Bergium process (Which.
incidentally, was patented in Germany
in 1910 coal is converted to oil by re-
moving the oxygen and increasing the
hydrogen. This is done by mixing the
crushed coal with oil to form a paste
and pumping it with hydrogen gas into
a converter. At high temperatures, I'M
der hydrogen gas pressures Of from 1000
to 5000 pounds per square inch, the
hydrogen replaces the oxygen and then
converts the coal to oil. This oil is fur
ther treated to yield gasoline and other
by-products.
In third process, which Is known as
the Fischer -Tropsch process, and, like
the Bergium process is German-born,
coal or coke is burned with a shortage of
oxygen. In the presence of steam this
gives up carbon monoxide and hydrogen
gases. These are purified and at care
fully controlled temperatures are passed
over "catalyst" Of cobalt and thorium
oxide. They react to give carbon hy-
drogen compounds similar to oil and
gasoline, which are further refined by
the methods normally used in the petro-
leum industry.
Would Aid Coal Industry.
The oil industry naturally Is ire
mendously interested in the expert
ments. Although its labors and funds
have been placed in the production and
distribution Of petroleum products, ex-
haustion Of the supply would force it out
Of business. The coal-fuel thus would
provide means Of continuing and
broadening their industry.
Business, other than the petroleum in
terests, also has an interest in the ex-
periments, for wide-scale coal-to-gaso-
line production would bring new life to
the coal regions. Since it is more prac-
tical to transport oil than coal, CONVEX
sion plants might be built in coal regions
ard the products gasoline and others
shipped to consumers and retailers.

to Chicago and Cook County to roll I'D

electoral votes are to remain in the
New Deal column. The Chicago vote
did the trick in 1870
Accordingly. Kelly plans to put on a
show calculated to Guido the closing
scenes OF former Roosevelt campaigns,
with the big accent on organized labor.
Special attention is to be paid also
to the Negro and italian voters. To
further dramatic the climactic rallies,
the Mayors strategy board plans to

liners as Philip Murray of the CLIO,
Vice President Wallace, Mayor La

Senator Green of Rhode Island and his
colleagues over the Republican plot
OF disfranchise soldiers by insisting on

Dewey Gaining on Coast
BIZ James De K. Bro,pn

BY James De X. BrO1Dn.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. TN both the
States of Montana and Washington the
1914 campaign is developing into a
battle between factions within the DEM
ocratic party, the regulars and the at
tempt on the part of the CLIO to control.
All this is aiding the Republican ma
tional ticket as well as having marked
influence upon the State tickets in these
two States.
The Montana situation Is becoming
more tense and is settling down into
a struggle between Jerry j. O'Connell,
regional director for Political Action
Committee of the CLIO, and Senator
Burton K. Wheeler. O'Connell seeks
absolute control of the Democratic
party organization. Wheeler, strongly
nti-Roosevelt, Is bucking him. Left
Erickson. Democratic Nominee O'Con-
nells man, faces Gov Sam c. Ford, Re-
publican, who won his election through
Democratic support rendered through
Wheeler, who is again behind him. Ford
is strong and getting stronger. Mon
tana has been counted as a Roosevelt
State. 1t is problematical today.
Idaho is showing some increasing
strength for the Dewey Bricker ticket.
The visit of the Ohio Governor next
week is going to help. Oregon is still
counted in the Republican ranks and
will stay there unless there is a sudden
shift in November. This is not likely.
Washington is uncertain. The Repub-
licans are united, the Democrats badly
divided. Many cannot swallow the PAC
and will scratch their tickets. There
will be comparatively little straight
party voting and unless there is heavy
straight-party vote for the Democrats
from top to bottom that party stands a
chance of being defeated if the Dewey
upswing continues.

Apathy Worries ". Y. Democrat.
BY Michael Dorneu.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7!-Uncertainty
over whether President Roosevelt will
make his traditional closing campaign
speeches at New York rallies late this
month sent a shudder through Demo-
cratic ranks this week as the pre-
registration drive closed throughout the
State.
The leaders accept the political truism
that no notes are changed by last
week speeches, but they had counted on
appearance of Roosevelt to spur party
workers to extra efforts to get out the
vote on November 7.
This, on the basis of present indica-
tons, Is vital this year. If one word can
describe the Presidential campaign so
far in New York it is apathy" And
fears that the apathy might persist
were real to Democrats.
There are real grounds for fear. Reg
istration in New York City in 1912, for
example, fell of to 2,l45,472 as COM
pared to 3,390.460 in the presidential
campaign of 1910. OF course, - was in
many ways an exceptional Year The

COP Hopeful in Kentucky

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct with every
succeeding week the political picture in
Ohio looks brighter for the Republicans
IN Ohio. The vigor with which the
national campaign has been carried on.
especially the tremendous task being
done on the stump by Gov. Bricker,
has served to maintain high en-
thusiasm among Republican party
workers in this State.
The apathy Of the Democratic cam
paign, both on the national scale and
Tor the State ticket has been the
cause Of much wonder and comment.
For some reason the Democratic work.

ers seem not to have gotten down to
work as yet, or else they remain too
disorganized to put on an effective
canvass.
President Roosevelt's appointment of
Charles Sawyer, former national COM
mltteeman, as Ambassador to Belgium
was interpreted as an effort to line up
Ohio Democrats, but 1t failed to make
much OF stir, except to bring out
the obvious conjecture of what the
President might have in mind to solidify
the anti-Sawyer faction in the State.
1t definitely was not considered to be
in the master-mind tradition of past
Roosevelt campaign moves here.
The political eyes Of Ohio at this time
are on the results of the campaign to
get war workers to register. There is
no indication as yet that there has
been any great flocking Of the migra-
tory vote to the registration boards.
The deadline is tomorrow, when a
general registration will be held over
the State. This may bring the voters
into the booths to qualify However, as
yet, there Is no real evidence that the
huge gaps left in the ranks of quail
fled voters in such important Demo-
cratic strongholds as Cleveland and
Akron have been filled. Republican
party workers say that the Republican
registration is pretty well completed.
Gov. Dewey's visit to Charleston,
w. Va, was seen as a good sign that
the Republicans have large hopes of
carrying that border State this No
vember, and the complementary deduc-
ton to that is that they then also have
hopes OF capturing Kentucky.
This strengthens the optimism of
Republican representations for Ohio
which almost daily become holder and
less qualified in predicting that this
State will give its Is electoral votes
to Dewey.

Dewey Gains in Los ANGELES
By Kyle Paine,

BY Kyle Palmer.
LOS ANGELES, Calf, Oct. TN a
battle Of poll takers, the inquiring Cali
fornia voter this week could take his
choice OF two contradictory political
surveys of the presidential contest in
this State.
Better odds based on pools taken by
those presumably chiefly interested in
making successful wagers upon the
Roosevelt-Dewey race, quoted IL to S
on Roosevelt to win, to that Roose-
Welt carries California, even that Roose-
welt has a California majority of $50 900.
Not much actual betting was in evil
dence.
An exactly opposite slant on election
possibilities is reflected in two polls
taken independently in Southern Cali
fornia, where the national administra-
ton is believed to have its most en-
thusiastic backing.
Varying only in fractions OF percent
ages, the two surveys show Dewey lead
ing Roosevelt in Los Angeles County by
small margin.
The registered Democrats, who out
number Republicans on ratio of APP
proximately 3 to 2, are shown in the
two polls as giving So per cent to Roose-
velt and 80 per cent to Dewey.
Registered Republicans indicate q
favorable SO per cent for Dewey and
IL per cent for Roosevelt. An average
OF the two percentages gives Dewey an
edge. While such straw ballots in the
past have sometimes failed to supply
accurate indications Of actual election
returns q recheck OF sentiment in sew
eral instances has supplied the same
returns.
Gov lBricker, accompanied by Gov
Warren OF California, will begin an in
tensive four-day campaign in California
next week and Senator Harry Truman
will come to the State to lead of the
final drive Of the Democrats.
