Preston of Chattanooga, Tenn., told the American Bankers’ Association in the President's address opening its Annual Convention that busi- ness would, not be “disturbed” whatever the outcome of the pres. idential election. “There will be no disturbanee of legitimate business, either large or small, regardless of which party wins the presidency in the coming election,” he declared. “Political- ly, as well as in many other ways, business and the masses seem to have gone into partnership and now have a more sympathetic un- derstanding and a more coopera- tive spirit than ever before. Both are recognizing that their inter. ests are inseparable. What bene- fits one will benefit the other.

We are so closely related to other countries that what effects onme section of the world affects all.” The president suggested that the| American Bankers’ Association take the initiative in calling such a world conference of banking| representatives. , Natio: \CONNECTICUT WATCHES VERDICT OF POLLS ON PROPHECIES OF RIVALS (Editor's Note: This is the twenty-seventh of a ser- ies of stories cn the political situation in the various States.) By W. J G. MYERS (Assccmted Press Staff Writer) Conn., Oect. 9. Connecticut effort to upset n prediction by Roraback, Republican Committeeman and State Chairman, that the State would g0 Republican by 75,000 if the Democrats nominated ‘““‘a certain man.” The HARTFORD, I)omm‘ru(s in Henry “certain man” having been nominated in the person of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, his supporters in this State are endeavoring to prove correct the counter-claim of their own National Committee- man, Thomas J. Spellacy, that Connecticut is noramlly Republi- can be only 22,000, the figure by which he was defeated for United States Senator in 1022, despite Coolidge’s plurality of 134,000 in 1924, and to overcome this lead. The Roraback prophecy and Spellacy's “retort courteous” for the Democrats still are considered the most interesting of State political tidbits. After the na- tional conventions, however, Ror- jaback qualified his prediction to the extent of saying that many cross-currents had to be studied before a definite statement as to the probable outcome would be made. Work Is Stressed Spellacy has stressed to his party workers the registration of potential Democrats, hoping for many votes through bestirring Democrats who he says were apathetic at the last election. With 477.8056 names on the lists there were 173,126 not cheeked as voting in 1926. Political history, however, fa- vors the Roraback prediction.
