Kansas Bank Deposits.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
gave out a statement showing the con-
dition of the 322 state banks and 64
private banks of Kansas. 1t shows
that the banks had on deposit $27, ,229,-
517.47, an increase of $1,076,1 ,171.66 over
the call of December =. The loans
show decrease of over $4,000. The
deposits of the banks are larger now
than ever before in the history of the
state. The highest point reached in
deposits previous to this was in April,
1893, when they were 100000. The
loans that year aggregated $23,O0o,OoO.
Now they aggregate $21,579 ,321.72.
This shows that Kansans have more
money to deposit and are borrowing
less to run their business.

the fiimsiness and the absurdity of the

was unconstitutional

| clubs. We are going to make still
fight against the proposed amendment
and the election law. Let me tell you,
the amendments will get big sur
prise when the returns from Haywood
are turned in.
Now, it may be asked, How Is it pos
sible for these supporters Of the am
endment to hope to carry the State in
the coming election in the face of the
past record of the Democratic party for
manhood suffrage, in the face of these
false promises and broken pledges in
the last campaign, and in the face OF
the fact that ring politicians who were
the enemies of Senator Vance have
lcaptured the machinery of the party
Indeed, the man who is now Democrat
lie State chairman was by Senator
Vance defeated for confirmation IN
this Senate for a revenue Office.
Ny answer Is, they do not hope to
carry the State; they do not hope to
get majority Of the votes. They
know that an overwhelming majority
of the voters Of the State are opposed
to- the amendment they have submitted
and, besides, are determined to vote t.
repudiate them for their broker
: pledges and treachery.
They knew it when they submitted
) the amendment. Knowing this. Mr.
President, they proceeded to take pre-
cautions before their legislature ad
