BRITISH FIGHT Parliamentary Elections Will Occur in Less Than Two Weeks' Time LONDON, Oct. i 17. (By The Associated Press.) With the par liamentary'; elections only 12 days away and the campaign at its hot test, nobody would venture today to predict the result for It is gen- erally acknowledged that any thing may happen. The government party still pro fesses complete confidence ; In the outcome of the balloting but it was asserted that the hearts of most of the labor candidates are less buoyant than when the cam paign opened. Outside .the .ranks of labor few persons are to be found who believe that labor will come back; with a majority in the lower house. In fact, the Impression is grow ing that, as in the last parliament, the conservatives again will have the strongest personnel. Should that happen the ' government of Ramsay MacDonald, should it again come into .power would, be quickly defeated by a combined vote of the conservatives and lib erals and a conservative ministry would be formed. But it is con sidered inconceivable that the lib eral party will not claim a price for its electoral sacrifices in the withrawing candidates for the benefit of conservative constitu ents in the triangular fights, and that this price will be the inclu sion of some of the liberal min isters in ja government ' which thereby would become a coalition ministry. 1 Until the nominations are com pleted tomorrow, the exact situ ation will 'not -be -known, but up to the present the decision of the triangular contests has been ef fected almost entirely at the ex- penseof the labor .party, while the withdrawal of candidates has con sisted very "largely of "liberals. As the list stands tonight there will be about 210 triangular contests as against 263 last year. In nearly 50 constituencies where the laborites last year won on a minority vote, owing to' tri angular fights, there will be in the coming elections straight fights between labor and anti-labor candidates and it seems al most sure that in many of these contests labor will be defeated, assuming that there will not be a , tremendous landslide in i favor of labor. ;' ; Premier MacDonald's absolute defiance -of the liberal .party -nat urally cuts off any possible chance of accommodation between the la bor and the liberal .parties, such as happened between -the conser vatives and the liberals and the outcome is that it is. the sonser vative party at least that will benefit by such avoidance of tri angular contests as have been ar ranged. 'The candidates , already nominated are reckoned roughly as:' - -. - I ., ' Conservatives, 640; laborites 490. and liberals 340. And in political circles it would cause no surprise to see this posi tion stereotyped in the election GETS HDTTEfi results, " ... ....... L is T Chairman William M. Butler of G. 0. P. National Com- jmittee Tells About Cam- ; paign Funds of Party t : LA F0LLETTE CHARGES VIGOROUSLY DENIED No ; Intention Is Held to Ex. pend Large Sums in Doubtful States CHICAGO, Oct. 17. (By the A.

Butler, chairman of the republican national com mittee, informed the special cam paign fund Investigating commit tee of the senate today that; It is thj "hope- and "expectation" of his organization to raise a total of 13,000,000 for the national campaign presidential, senatorial and congressional. At the same time Mr. Butler denied charges of Senator Robert M.) La Follette, the independent presidential candidate, that tils committee would mobilize a large mass of funds In certain states during the last weeks ef the cam paign. His denial was in reply to questions by Senator Shipstead. farmer-labor, Minnesota. ' : uu ouiu luieouoo ana rhave -no such preparations," , Mr. Butler said. "We have no ability to do it. We have no funds for purposes of that kind. There is no intention of doing anything of the ; sort. I want very much to conduct this campaign in such a way that when I get through it will be something to be proud of." i Estimate Increased i Under a. gruelling examination by Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, regarding the budget plans of his committee, Mr. ' But ler I testified that originally ha had: estimated $2,500,000 as the amount that would be required for the national presidential cam paign. This Bum was increased by 1500,000 he added, after it had been decided to take care of the senatorial and congressional campaigns as well.; Calling attention that evidence before the committee was that the republican organization already had collected approximately $1,- 700,000, Senator Caraway asked If it was expected to collect ; an additional $1,300,000. i- i'Yes." Mr. Butler replied. ! ;'What are your plans for col lecting it?" asked the senator. "Nothing, except the solicita tions which -are going on all over the: country among our friends for I'funds." -was the reply. ! ' Pressed by the Arkansas sena tor, Mr. Butler said the collection of funds was under the direction of the national treasurer, William Vj Hodges. ; i :. J "I have talked with the treas urer and I know what the general plan is," Mr. Butler added. ' 'Would you mind telling us what that general plan is," pur sued Senator Caraway. J 1 f' "Why, the plan 4s simply to be in communication with our friends all (over the country," Mr. Butler replied, "for them to send 'in their subscriptions. That is all. We have had committees appoint ed in various places for that pur pose, I presume." 1 PHILLIP PAU 1 CULLED fly DEATH Member of Pioneer Tamily Succumbs After Several Years' Illness , ; I Phillip -Painter. 61, a member cf a pioneer family died at, his residence at 2000 State street, about 5 o'clock Friday afternoon.
