the South to get rid of Afro-Ameri-

flee as Secretary Of the Treasury, gives
promise of an excellent administration.
Mr.. Shaw is a business man with ex-
perience in banking. He came into
public life in the notable campaign of
1896, when he was strong advocate of
the gold standard as the only honest
and trustworthy one.
Mr.. Shaw gave his hearty support to
the Monetary Conference, which held
it's sessions in Indianapolis, and he has
been in sympathy with the commits
sioners appointed by these conferences
and has supported the measures recon-
mended by them.
Mr.. Shaw represents the people, for
he made his appeals directly to the peo-
pie, and on the gold standard platform
he has won his present position.

There are indications Of divided
opinion among the Republican mem
bers of Congress over the proposed
methods of correcting abuses of the
franchise in the South. The northern
and western Republicans seem to be in
favor of reducing the representation of
the southern states. Southern Repub-
licans are exerting very strenuous
opposition to that plan, which would
wipe them entirely out of the equation.
The southern Republicans are clamor-
ing for strict federal election law,
but it is not likely that such measure
can be passed by this Congress.

Leslie M. Shaw was born on a farm
In Vermont in 1S4S When 81 years
Old he came to Iowa, settling in Linn
county, where he did farm work and
earned money to take him through col
lege. He was graduated from the
Iowa College of Law and settled at
Denison, where he soon had an extern
siye practice. He was for time presi-
dent of Denison bank. He took little
part in politics until 1896, when his
speeches in the national campaign in
behalf of sound money attracted atten-
ton all over the west That campaign
and the part he took in it paved the
way for his nomination for governor
of Iowa and he was elected by nearly
10000 majority. Two years. later he
was reelected. r.

Secretary of the Treasury, it is settled

terfere with the present national bank
ing system.
In his speech before the Bankers AS
ISOLATION last April, Gov. Shaw said in
part:
eve have at last reached one vital
conclusion-the nation can have but
one standard coin. It took long time
to learn that we could not have two
standards.
Every piece Of money, and every
thing that circulates as money must be
redeemable directly or remotely in
standard coin
All contend for is that every draft
on solvent merchant, every note
signed by solvent debtor, every piece
of paper that circulates as money and
every coin shall ultimately be payable,
redeemable or exchangeable for the
standard coin of the country. In no
other way can it be protected from dis
count -, 81
