IT HAS COME WEST TO STAY
Political Campaign Administration
Radiates from Chicago.


Chicago. May 5.-Charies G. Dawes
comptroller Of the currency, and Mrs.
Dawes, arrived in the city last night.
They expect 10 stay ten days and Mr..
Dawes will attend the Republican state
convention and a week from tomorrow
night will deliver an address at Quinn
chapel. He declares he was the bearer OF
no massage from the administration re-
garding state politics, and that he had no
other interest in the state convention
than that OF Republican deeply interest
ed in the success of the party at the
coming elections.
1.-THE present outlook OF the Republican
party is good" he said. ''The conven-
lions recently held in Ohio, Massachus-
etts, Nebraska and Indian demonstrated
that the party is united in the support
of the administrations policy. This is a
critical campaign, both for our party and
the nation. The differences between the
two parties are fundamental and not su-
perficial. On the result depends not alone
the continuance of domestic prosperity.
but the future welfare OF millions of
semi-civ!lized peoples. On the result
largely depends also the question of our
share of the enormous trade Of the en-
pire of China, the bulk or which, al
though naturally belonging to us, now
goes TO other countries. If our fair share
of this trade is to be secured for the
labor and capital of the United States,
the policy OF the present admiras ttration
regarding tine Philippines must be main
tanned at the polls in November. The
Ill -
duties as trustees of the best interests
Of the peoples of our island, and of our
moral responsibilities and commercial
possibilities as nation&wiu tend to
deeply engage the sober thought of the
American people. And it IS to the sober
thought and judgment of the people that
our party appeals for vindication of what
1t has done and for confidence in what
it hopes to do hereafter.
THE campaign probably will see its
greatest activity, as in 1896, at the Chi
cago headquarters. The seat of political
power IS following the center of popula-
ton to the west, and 1 think that the
precedent established in 1895 of having
the executive departments of party man>
agement in Chicago will always be fell

I'm my office at Washington the inan-
cial law has kept us busy. Up TO the
18th of April GIG applications for author
iity to organize banks under the national
system with capital of $500 had been
received OF these 3l2 were applica tons
to convert from state into national banks
and 3o7 were primary organizations. These
applications came mainly from the mid
die western and southwestern state. Iowa
heads the list with 80. Pennsylvania is
second with 81. From Illinois there are Is
applications. The increase in national
bank currency issued since the passage
Of the law up to Aeil 80, amounts to
nearly s30G00,0C0 They eventual total IN
crease in bank circulation due TO the new
law may, in the course Of the next two
years, reach $125.OOO 900, but it probably
will not exceed that sum. In the matter
of the application for charters, We are
making every effort to investigate care
fully the responsibility of applicants, in
order to prevent the custodianship Of the
banks of the community from passing in
to unworthy hands"
