The delegates all arose from their

were doffing their hats and cheering
the suffragists when the storm came.
Mrs. Agnes Pease Of Denver. marched
down the isle, and with clIncvhed

BRYAN ON BANK
GUARANTEE LAW
Secure DepOsitOrs Against Loss by
Small Tax.

With a democratic president and
democratic congress it viii be easy
to secure the adoption Of a system
which win make both state and ma
tional banks secure.
Points Out Inconsistencies.
And speaking Of platforms. am
glad to call attention to the fact that
the republican platform adopted in
Kansas indorses the democratic ma
tional platform on two important
questions. First. 1t favors the cleo
ton of senator's by direct vote Of the
people, a reform which the republic
can convention rejected by a vote of
Z to / and which the Mr.. Taft has
never advocated but once, and that
only in a half-hearted way. In his
notification speech he said that per-
sonally he was inclined to favor such
law, but it requires more than
mere inclination toward the law to
secure such a reform.
Another plank indorsing the
democratic platform is to be found in
the condemnation of the present
rules of the house and in the demand
for a modification OF the rules. While
Mr.. Sherman's name is not mention
ed, he is so prominently connected
with the present rules of the house
that the republican platform on this
subject can not be construed other
wise than as a denunciation of him.
Here we have the republicans Of
Kansas heartily indorsing the nomi-
nation of Taft and Sherman-even
commencing the speech of accept
ance of Mr.. Taft-while the conven-
ton proceeds to condemn Mr.. Taft's
position on the guaranty of banks
and Mr.. Sherman's position on the
subject of rules

Guaranty For Bank Deposits.
Mr.. Bryan in his prepared speech,
said in part:
why not make the depositor Sc

requires the deposit of specific Sc
curity when it entrusts money to q
national bank, although it can ex-

money in a bank; the county re

be left to take his chances?
Not only is the depositor without
protection, but the security given by
nation, state. county and city lessons

creditors; they have a mortgage OF

amount and is directed to take pos

the depositors in full and reimburse
the fund by collecting the assets OF
