Secretary Webb of the Taft League

following letter received from Mr.

Mr. Morris N. Webb. Secretary Taft
League Of Delaware. Wilmington.
Del.
NY Dear Mr. Webb: Business ana
politics in New York are OBTAINING nc
here. However. if you find il desircA
that ! serve the Taft League and It's
high objects by speaking or otherwIs,
! will gladly do so. Under all the
conditions believe Taffs election 10
be imperative for the country's bes.

This is no reflection on Mr. Bryan
as a man. II is a practical matter. Un-
fortunately he is so given to coming
new schemes. doubtful and untried.
pople distrust his Judgment and are
afraid to trust TO his control the vast
business interests of the government
delicate international affairs and power
10 harm the industrial welfare by hasty.
experimental and unwlse policies. On
the other hand Taft is deliberate, judi
cial. experienced. His election would
inspire confidence and quickly start the
wheels Of progress. so much desired by
ALL. So, MANY will support Taft WHO
do not agree with him on every sub
iect
Bank Guarantee Scheme.
Bryan's scheme for guaranteeing
bank deposits illustrates his tenderAry.

about ten times cash. Not over two

permanently boarded in guarantee
fund How far would il toward pay
ing frightened depositors in a panic
I one hundred times that amount? In
stead Of thus trying 10 handle the DE-.
| luge with a teaspoon We should try 20
prevent deluge by removing the causes
Of panic.
Every panic started IN Wall street
Gambling conditions there tend to
breed them often. II Is the quickest
way 10 smash prices so insiders can
buy back cheap the billions OF listed
securities they have unloaded upon the
public at high prices The balance OF
the country is an unwilling victim.
The only reason we do not have panics
more frequently is because the big
eainesters who control the big banks
Of Wall street containing the peoples
savings that are constantly borrowed
and used by the insiders to fleece the
public are afraid panic will frighten
depositors into withdrawing the money
from their reach and use. n Bryan's
guarantee scheme would chioroform
depositors into falsely believing always
that their money is safe. so they never
would withdraw even in panic, Wall
street would hail Bryan as It's chief
benefactor. Then IL could cause a
panic every month without injury 10
itself. and as an effective means 10
forcing the rest into its pawn-shop.
Election Of u. Q. Senators
Bryan is trying to patent election Of
United states senators By the people
But he can't monepolize that issue
Taft also favors it. A Republican
House Of Representatives passed a
resolution amending the Federal Con-
stitutlen 20 require popular election Of
senators. And Republican states like
Kansas and oregon now are nominat-
Ing senators by popular vote. This re-
form is right. II Is going to succeed
and al an early day. And | hope the
General Assembly OF Delaware at as
session next winter will enact a law
giving the people Of our state an op.
portunity 70 vote and express theii
choice as TO who shall serve them "
the United States senate. Why SHOULD
the people be denied this right? VIII
should any man desire 10 represent {
state In the United States Senate If 2
majority Of the citizens OF that stat
are opposed to him doing sog Della
ware can put itself in the front ranl
In this great movement. II voted ? &
for the referendum, showing desir'
Of the people 70 have a direct voice II
their affairs No doubt their repre-
. sentatives in the General Assemble
will follow this expressed wish Of tn
people and provide a way as IL cal
lawfully do. by which the people a
least can nominate their choice for tn
United States Senate. The senate ha
blocked the resolution for amending
the Constitution repeatedly. But tn
people are coming to be more and NOR
conscious of their rights and powe
and the future is likely TO see less AM
less senators who represent trusts an
special interests instead Of the people
There is a wonderful change going on
great revolution. all toward more o
government such as Lincoln de
scribed "Of the people, by the peopl
and for the people"
