Democrats try to comfort themselves. for the lack of support from Davis' corporation con- nections by arguing that it blows up the enemy contention that he is “Wall street’s candidate.” But they would gladly put up with that taunt if some of the illusory plutocrats would put up some cash. The Democrats concede that of money is a fatal handicap in States where the La Folletts candidacy has bitten deeply into normal Republican strength. If they had been able to Wage a ViKorous campaign in certain States where Coolidge and La Fol- letto are running neck-and-neck, the Domocrats think they might have nipped in und captured them for Davis and Bryan—or at least helped La Follette take them away from Coolidge, The latter strategy is that which a good many Democratic lead- crs have boldly recommended, cspe- cially in regions where La Kollette, rather than Davis, has the better chance ot edging Coolidge out of the clectoral vote.

Alexander is- known to have perished aboard the steamship Princess Sophia, which went down during a storm on the western coast in October, 1918.

A violent end also came to the manager and foreman of the property after it had been acquired by a French syndicate. The latter killed the former during a quarrel and paid the penalty for his crime with his own life. The mine was then bought by Capt. Alexander, a woldier of fortune, who won his rank in the British army during tho Boer campaign, and several associates. “Capt. Alexander,” said the state- ment, “gained a reputation in the north country as being able to drink more whisky and fight harder than anv other man in the North. It was well known that he would produce $50,000 to $100.000 with a small crew of men each season on the Engineer Mine and spend it in the Pacific coast tow during the Winter, returning to the mine again in the Spfing to repeat the same procedure.” The captain finally =old to Allan 1 Smith, a Philadelphta banker. a $250,- 000 interest in the mine, President Bob #aid. and with this money bought out his associates.
