SHADOW OF PANIC
STILL NEAR, SAYS FINN

with the numerous issues presented
in the platforms of the two leading
parties. is there not one in which the
great mass of our people are directly
interested, and upon which they are
generally in accord regardless of party
affiliation?
"It is the general sentiment every
where that the depositors of banks
should have their funds secure.
"Does not the shadow of the bank
panic still hang over our business
world? Has not the action of the banks
in Withholding funds so impaired con-
fidence that millions are being quietly
withdrawn by depositors, transferred
to boxes in safety vaults. or haorded
elsewhere. with the result a growing
scarcity of money, and a consequent
depression in business?
"What does Taft offer as a cure?
Does he not pledge himself that
the policy Ono matter what 1t isl Which
brought these conditions shall be con-
tinued by him; on the other hand. 1t
is proposed by the Democrats to rem
edy this evil by restoring confidence
in a Just and legitimate way?
LET the banks secure all their de-
posits. large and small (they don t
seem to object to securing public
funds and by law neither nation, state
nor county will trust them with dol
lar without ample security, then
money will come forth from its hiding,
go naturally into the channels of trade.
stimulating anew the activities OF
business, then there will be no runs
on banks, and need be no bank fall
ures or panics.
"Was there ever bank run by those
who knew their money was safe?
ss'Would not this policy safeguard the
hanks from danger?
There is a certain saying that 1T
don't hurt one to give security who
intends to pay.
"Mr. Taft's position that it would
be unsafe for the country to safeguard
the money of the common people Is
certainly not justified. To secure for
all persons only their own cannot 'pe
extremely dangerous.
"What else is promised more I'M
portant than this to restore business
conditions? In 1896 'to restore conf
dence' was the Republicans slogan,
and it was DECLARED all that was nee
essary to make general prosperity.
what could do more in this dlrec-
ton to regain the confidence of the
masses than to secure their funds; a
security not merely of words, but the
backing of collateral.
THE Republicans declare against
securing the depositors; the Demo-
Gratis declare for it. Which is right?
Do we want confidence restored? Is
there any more effectual way of doing
it than by security?
"If confidence will bring prosperity,
has not Mr.. Bryan on such a platform
the right to be called its advance
agent?

BRYAN STRENGTH
GROWING DAILY
LOS ANGELES DEMOCRATS
CITE REASONS
VOTE GETTING ARGUMENTS ARE
CITED
Talks with Messrs. Parish, Martin,
Finn and Noyes Typical of Per-
suasive Methods Used
in Campaign

Views of we'll known Democrats indi-
cate that Bryan will have a big ma
jority in California and that Rush and
many of the other candidates will win
by varying majorities, depending on
local conditions in each case.
There is a hopeful sign in the talk
of Democrats nowadays.
Ehey wear the Bryan buttons proudly,
proclaim their faith in the commoner
and are ready to argue the political
questions at any time and any place.
Republicans generally speaking seem
less confident, so old-time campaigners
say. than in any previous presidential
races, and there there is but one con-
clusion to draw-that they are alarmed
at the gains in Bryan sentiment.
The Herald presents herewith a few
interviews, showing which are the COM
pelling arguments used in winning
votes:

SAN BERNARDINo ATTORNEY
WAeERs $1,000 ON BRYAN

A well known attorney of San Ber-
nardino boasted at the Nadeap hotel
corridors last night that Bryan would
win by a big majority.
A New York furnishing goods sales
man asked him to put up cash to back
his Judgment. He showed $1,000 as his
evidence of his ability to make good" /"
The former judge had only check
book and the travelling man refused to
accept a check.
Immediately the San Bernardino
man canVassed some friends and re-
turned in an hour with the $1,000.
The bet was made, so friends of
both state.

MOVES SANGUINE
FOR HILTON'S RACE

Frank L. Hilton of Alhambra, as
sembly candidate for the SiXty-ninth
district, refuses to be considered in
the light of a party sacrifice, and from
the day of his nomination has been
actively engaged in canvass OF the
district" said Charles H. Noyes.
Coming before the people as a
strictly anti-machine candidate, he IS
winning favor daily among all classes
of voters by the determined stand
which he is taking against race track
gambling and Soukhern Pacific govern
ment of the state.
I'm a recent address before the peo-
pie of his own city he scored the solid
Three of the board of supervisors for
ever allowing the city of Arcadia to
become incorporated, knowing as they
did for what purpose incorporation was
sought.
Directly in the center of our county,
in the heart of the SiXty-ninth assem-
bly, district, and almost adjoining our
city, is this crime breeding, manhood
debuaching plague spot, the Arcadia
race track, that if permitted to con-
tinue will eat it's foul way into our
homes.
"Money is poured out freely at Sac
ramento at every session of the legis-
lature to prevent legislation inimical
to the race track interests
"What did the Republican state con-
vention do at Sacramento? Did it IA
vor remedial legislation? No; it lacked
the moral courage TO do what would
perhaps destroy one of their chief
sources of revenue.
"Having no interests to serve other
than that of the people of the state
and this district, | can freely sub
scribe to the plank in our platform
demanding the adoption of legislation
prohibiting bookmaking and pool SELL
ing on the results of horse racing"

NHAIRMAN ALBERT NJ. NORTON
I of the Los Angeles Count Demo-
~ cratic committee yesterday an
nounced that the Democrats would
carry the city and county by at least
$500 majority.
1T is estimated from accurate polls
at a number of different sections of the
city by absolutely reliable men.
I'VE have absolutely accurate in
formation that Bryan will get from
SIS to 80 per cent of the ' Dor vote in
this conuty and Debs will get the
other 10 per cent.
Rush will run about 5000 ahead OF
the Bryan ticket and I expect to see
him carry this county by $500.
General dissatisfaction occasioned
by the late panic is the cause for the
great change in votes and we have as
certained that the great majority OF
voters think that the only remedy for
future prosperity is the guaranty Of
bank deposits.
1--WE will elect our three supervisors
without doubt and more than "a major
ity of the legislative ticket.
From information obtained on the
trip recently taken over the kite-shaped
track, I have no hesitation in saying
that Bryan will carry all of the South
ern counties.

Some Bennettsville People Have
