AN UNsoUND PROPOSAL.
Rryan's Dangerous Bank Guaranty
and Its Weak Spots.
(Ernnn CnlIfor.,S Xynnirlrr

.
Mr.. Bryan has made bank deposit
guarantee his most distinct issue OF
this campaign. He has pressed 1t hard,
and our mail is flooded with inquiries
about its soundness. No foreign gov
eminent has ever adopted it. The
countries of the world have been busy
with banking and insurance long
time, and when an earnest but not very
thoroughly trained politician comes for
ward with a revolutionary proposition
the burden of proof lies heavily on him.
Regarding Mr. Bryan's past record In
this field, Gov. Hughes has said:
IF all that Mr.. Bryan has favored
during the past twelve years had been
enacted into law, we should have been
overwhelmed with disaster and would
regard 1T as our chief business in the
future to find a way of escape from
the meshes of ill-considered legislation
in which we should have been en-
tangled. 1t is fortunate for him as
well as for us that he was defeated,
and whatever may be his present polit-
ical potentiality can be ascribed to the
fact that hitherto he has not been per-
mitted to carry out his program"
That Judgment is severe, and will
hurt the feelings Of many Of Mr..
Bryan's friends, but who can doubt it's
accuracy?
Mr.. Bryan's scheme, which he calls
guarantee. is an insurance proposition,
and it is entirely mutual in its nature
The government does not stand back of
it. There are no stockholders who
pledge their resources. There is moth
ing except a certain definite and linn
tied fund. This fund is to be used to
insure risks which are not selected 1t
is to insure all alike, good or bad, and
all at the very same rate. The real
working OF the scheme amounts to this
the stockholders Of an Indiana bank
guarantee that the assets (Which they
are not allowed to see) of, say, an
Idaho bank are and shall continue to
be good; and that the directors Of the
Idaho bank lover whom they have no
control) shall always be men Of recti-
tude and sound judgment Mr. Bryan
thinks that this little idea of his will
prevent panics. In 1898 the existence
of gold fund to guarantee the pay
ment Of government currency In gold
many times larger proportionately than
the deposit guarantee fund would be
was of no avail In preventing a gold
panic. In 1907 currency and specie
reserve fund in the national banks,
equal to about Is per cent of their de-
posits, did not prevent one of the
most frantic currency panics in the his
tory Of the national banking system
What reason is there to think that, In
times Of stress and uncertainty, a fund
of few millions to guarantee deposits
of $4,000, 100000 would have any more
effect? The scheme Is worth
little or nothing as protection. II
would greatly increase the number Of
failures by the encouragement Of reck-
less banking. 1t would not help to meet
paIics. 1t would help greatly to bring
them about.

Nation Needs Steady Head.

Governor Hughes at Detroit)
We do not fear the result of the cam.
paign II we can make the situation
clear to the people. If we are to have
genuine progress we must have at the
head OF the nation discrimination, judg-
ment. not just honesty Of aim We
must have analytical power, steadiness
and soundness Of conviction. The ma
ton will not go far unless the nation
has a steady head. That Is the issue
In this campaign. And we present
for the head OF the nation a man
of rare equipment, steady man
with whom we can safely intrust the
progress of the country, William III.
Taft
l am satisfied to leave his judicial
record to the workingmen Of the coun-
try. confident they will recognize that
in the sort of Judge which he was lies
the best protection which labor can
lave.

GoMPERs' CHEAP METHODS.
Judge Taft Shows the Speciousness
of Attacks Made on Him.


(From Taft's Speech at Waterloo, la.
Mr.. Samuel Gompers has already de-
livered the vote to the Democratic
party and that makes it rather hope
less for one who is struggling for the
Republican party to deal at all with the
labor question. He seems to have re-
moved it from doubt by carrying the
vote in his pocket. He leaves no place
outside for me. Now venture to think
that the laboring men of the country
think for themselves and have an in
telligence that enables them to take
their own Judgment as to the party and
the candidate whom they elect
1t is rather cheap method Of at
lacking candidate to say that he is
opposed TO labor, that he is In favor of
depressing and tyrannizing labor and
that he has nothing In his heart that
sympathizes with labor. The only way
you can meet that is to say that 1t Is
not so, and that is what do say.
yield to no man in my sympathy with
labor or as class, in it's effort to or
ganize to make itself properly powerful
in the community, to maintain it's
equality and its level In the struggle
for life and in dealing with capital on

those Of capital are opposed

TAFT STRIKES BANK INSURANCE.
Shows the Glaring Fallacies of the
Scheme by Plain Reasoning.

(From Taft's Minneapolis SPECIFY
1.-TWO objections are made to the con-
clusion that an enforced guaranty sys-
tenn would lead to recklessness and
disaster in banking. One is that the
government examinations would pre-
vent, and the other is that it Is an
insult to the banking community to as
sumo that the national bankers Of the
country, in view of their present high
character, would yield 70 the tempta-
ton to recklessness presented by the
system.
II answer to the first objection that
the government examinations do not
now prevent banks from failing; that
il Is difficult for a bank examiner TO
discover the unwise reck'essnes5 and
speculative loans, and that often such
loans are made between government
examinations, and then the evil is done
and cannot be remedied by strict SUPER
vision
Second, while I fully concede the
general high character of the bankers
throughout this country, my point Is
that the opportunity to obtain deposits
and invest them on very little capital
afforded by the guaranty security will
attract into the banking business men
Of no experience and Of speculative
tendencies, and will distinctly lower the
tone of the banking business.
Zone of the great merits claimed for
the enforced guaranty of deposits is
that 1t will prevent panics. 1t is sulIi-
cient to say that the plan proposed
cannot prevent panics. A panic is not
stayed by the promise that money will
ultimately be forthcoming 1t can only
BE- stayed by the production of the
money itself. When a financial strin.
gency is on, it Is the cash the man
reeds, and to say that he will get it
hext week certainly does not assist him.

STRIKING UNANIMTTY.
Bryan Wanted in Certain Quarters
on the Plea That He Can Do
Nothing as President.

(From the Chicago Tribune)
l hold it entirely natural for any
great law dcfying corporation to wish
to see you placed In the Presidency
rather that Mr.. Taft. (From the LET
ter Of Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr.. Bryan Of
Sept. 23.)
The full force and justice Of this
sentence may not be felt without the
following veritication from the pen OF
the most conspicuous recruit to the
Bryanized Democracy from the ranks
of the conservative, or Cleveland Dem
ocracy.
Whoever believes in the prevailing
policies and tendencies of the Republl-
can party will, of course, act with that
party in the pending Presidential con-
test. But whoever believes those poll
cies and tendencies to be vicious and
injurious can record his belief aud
make it effective in no other way than
by acting with the Democratic party.
Not to take that course is to give more
or less support to the very policies and
tendencies he condemns Neither should
he be deferred from it because certain
policies, once thought to be peculiarly
Democratic and so described, do not
command his approval. They eau now
be described as Republican with equal
propriety because they are policies
which are common to the extreme
wings Of both parties. (From the five
column open letter Of the Hon. Richard
Olney to the New York WORLDLY
The full force and significance Of
these sentences are not appreciated un-
til it is recalled that their author serv-
ed as attorney general in the Cleveland
cabinet, during which time his depart
ment did virtually nothing to disturb
the peace he and others are so anxious
to enjoy once more.
1t is confidence in Mr.. Bryan's el:tiI-
ity that rallies an Olney and Parker
to his standard.

Speaking OF kinship.

Nobody was ever pictured so numer-
Ously in the public press as Mr.. Roose-
welt. unless ii be Mr.. Bryan; yet here
is what it all comes to, as related by
New York World reporter accompany
ing the Bryan campaign outfit at Cum
berland. Nd:
Mr.. Bryan was standing on the porch
of the Queen City hotel this morning
when sweet-faced old lady stepped
up to him and, holding out her hand,
said: why, how do you do. Mr.. Roose-
welt: l am so glad to see YOU"
There's some mistake" said Mr..
Bryan, smiling and shaking her hand.
My name is Bryan"
oh" said the old lady, taken aback ;
well. you do look like Mr.. Roosevelt"

A Man and His Family.
(Judge Taft at Nebraska City

(Judge Taft at Nebraska City,
GAS a plain business proposition, do
you think it wise to go rainbow chasing
and hunting remedies which have not
been tested, proposed by a gentleman
who has been proposing remedies for
twelve years, each Of which has proved
to be failacious? Mr. Bryan says that
we have no right to appeal to the full
dinner pail; that when we point out
those distressing conditions that exist
ed in Democratic times we are appeal
ing to the lowest elements in human
nature differ with him. 1t seems
to me that man who does not Look
after his family is worse than an in
fidel. A man who does not vote to
adopt the policy that win improve his
family Is not a patriot and not good
father"

THE "DOLLAR-A-DhY" LIE
Judge Taft Brands the Statement as
False in Burning Words.

liar has devoted himself to the business

ing that | am in favor of paying a la
boring man dollar day and that

nection or under what circumstances"

POLICY FRAMED
AGAINST BUSINESS

Governor Hughes at Detroit.)
81 do not regard 1t fbank de-
posits guaranteed as a vital issue
when | contemplate other dan
gerous proposals which Mr.. Bry-
an makes. We want, before we
have a guarantee for our de-
posts, to have the deposits. A
policy which is framed against
business and that makes it diff
.ult to get deposits cannot be
helped by a guarantee of de-
)osits. Already In Oklahoma ad-
yenturers are taking advantage
If the guarantee law to open
ranks and entrap the unwary.
t Is unfair to propose to saddle
pon prudent and conservative
,anks the losses of imprudent
,anks over which they have no
ontrol."

Idle workmen and Bryan.

(Beveridge at Terre Haute, Ind.)
Suppose Mr.. Bryan should be elect
ed president. Does any laborer think
that would help the rapidly recovering
business Of the nation, on which the
employment of labor depends? How
many mills would Mr.. Bryan's election
open? How many idle workingmen
would it send back to factory and mine?

daily bread, and then vote as the In
terests of his own tireside tell him to

Bryan has become distinctly and
desperately personal in his latest

OHIO.

Cincinnati, November 3.-Although
Chairman Williams of the Republican
committee, and Chairman Finley, of
the Democratic committee, both issued
statements today declaring that Ohio
was SAFE" it is yet far TOO early to
make any accurate representation
A heavy vote is reported from every
section of the state. Claims of land
slide for Bryan are being made, and
the Republicans claim a plurality of
$4,000 for Taft, but everything indi-
Gates that the result will be exceed
ingly close, with Taft apparently a
shade the better. The liquor question
forms an issue which will probably
result in the return of Governor Har-
ris, although Democrats still hope that
Harmon's personal popularity will be
sufficient to elect him.

NEW YORK.

New York, November 3.-Claims
and counter-claims marked the early
stages of election day in New York,
and as the day advances the asser-
lions of certain victory by both the
Democratic and Republican party lead
ers become more confident in tone.
Little business is being transacted in
the metropolis today and politics Is
the sole subject Of discussion. Many
big bets have been made, according
to rumors, with Taft and Chanler rul-
ing as favorites. Many special police
are patrolling the streets and polling
places. It is feared that many voters
in some of the congested districts will
be disfranchised, owing to inability Of
the election officials to carry on the
balloting expeditiously under the new
law. Chanler is apparently running
far ahead of Hughes in this city, and
big Hughes vote upstate will be
necessary to save the governor from
defeat. Reports received from over
the state early this aftrnoon indi-
Gated that Taft has small lead over
Bryan, but the result is still highly
doubtful. The independence party vote
will likely cut little figure, but the So
cialists are casting heavy vote in
some sections of the city. The Social
lists claim that Hilquit, the candidate
for congress from the Ninth district,
is far ahead and that he will certainly
be elected. The police department is
