REPLIES TO TAFTS CRITICISM

latter theme being Fraternity"
Mr.. BRIAN, in view of the action OF
the Kansas Republican state conven.
tion, which indorsed the guaranty OF
bank deposits, made some remarks
supplementary to his prepared speech
on that subject He took up the al.
vantages of the guaranty system and
then answered the objections made
TO It by Mr.. Taft and others. He be.
gan by asking why the depositor
should be left unsecured when the
national government demanded secur.
ity OF any bank with which it depos.
tied money. He pointed out that the
choice was between the postal savings
bank and the guaranty plan. and ac.
cused Mr.. Taft of favoring an un.
necessary extension Of the sphere Of
government in advocating the postal
savings bank instead of the guaranty
bank.
Upon the conclusion OF his pre-.
pared speech, Mr. Bryan said:
