HAS BEEN 0UTGROWN
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. AT the meet
ing of the New York chapter of the
American Institute of Bank Clerks last
evening the question of currency re-
form was discussed by Charles A. CO.
nant, author of 1.-THE Principles of
Money and Banking"
Mr.. Conant declared that the coun-
try had outgrown the system of bond
secured currency, which was originally
only a war measure. like the issue of
greenbacks. Every other civilized
country had more scientific banking
system and 1t was time for the United
States to deal with the question in a
time of general confidence instead of
waiting for the compulsion of panic
and a period of distrust.
A large stock of paper money, which
did not diminish when the demand for
1t declined, might prove a serious men,
ace to the security of our monetary
system, he said.
Mr.. Conant's remedy for this men
ace was the plan recommended by the
chamber of commerce committee.

LEGISLATU RE
STILL In
DOUBT

BY Associated Press
SAN. FRANCISCO, Nov. 9,-The re-
turns on the legislative ticket received
at the Republican Headquarters have
been so meager that it is not yet fully
known as to who will constitute the
legislative branch of the state govern
ment next January. 1t is apparent,
however, that both senate and assem-
bly, will be Republican, notwithstand-
ing the Democrats have made consider
able inroads.
The election of Wood for congress in
the Second district is doubtful. c. M.
Harmon, President Roosevelt's rela-
tive in Upper Lake, is defeated, as also
are C. H. McKenny in the Tenth dis
trict; H. j. Ostrander, in the Twelfth; ;
Frank French, in the Twentieth; Frank
Short, in the Twenty-first; TruXtun
Beale, in the Thirty second, and B. w.
Hahn, in the Thirty-sixth.
AS all these have been "hold-over"

siderable figure in the next contest for
