...Boss" Brennan and the Democrats are jubilant over Mr. Magill's candidacy. They expect him to poll about 200,000 votes and cut heavily into Mr. Smith's downstate Dry strength. Thus, with the Republican Drys split and with Mr. Brennan looming in the Wet districts of Cook County (Chicago), East St. Louis, and Peoria, the Democratic camp has reached a peak of hopefulness...

He told that in August, 1924, these Germans and French had agreed to split the U. S. trade, 65% to Germany, 35% to France (England knew of this arrangement, did not interfere, only warned that she did not want British potash needs curtailed); that in May, 1925, the agreement was renewed to terminate August...
