CHANEY COMPARES
 FINANCIAL BILLS
THE INDIANA MAN FAvoRS THE FOWLER MEASURE BECAUSE OF THE PROTECTION OFFERED TO DEPoslToRs.

Washington, March 4.--ln an elaborate speech on the financial question in the House of Representatives today, Mr. Clancy of Indiana compared the Aldrieh and Fowler bills. He favored the latter, he said because it embraced the protee- tion of depositors. He did not think the Aldrich bill could be accepted because Of the jealousies that would be sure to spring up between the various railroads as to the use of their bonds as the basis for note circulation. Again. he said, it would subject the Secretary of the Treas ury to criticisms and probably to charges of bribery in selecting any one or any tw5 of the many railroads whose bonds were outstanding"
 Further, he argued, the Aldrich measure would unduly enhance the value of the favored railroad and its bonds and be disadvantage eous to the extent of the en- hancement in value to all the other rail- roads or bonded enterprises which might be worthy of consideration for note cir culation. His greatest objection, how ever, to the bill was that in case the railroad whose bonds were selected failed. through lack of business or mismanage- ment the government would be compelled to either buy the road or guarantee it's bonds, in order that it might maintain the party of the circulating notes based on the bonds. As regards the Fowler bill MT. Chaney said it was desirable in that it proposed a system of note circulation independent of the government debt and based upon the wealth of the country having always in view gold as the foun- dation to support the circulating medium.

Topeka, Kas., March 4.-Kansas repub- licans In state convention here today elected four elegates-at-large to the Chicago convention instructed to vote for the nomination of Secretary William H. Taft for President The following resolutions were adopted unanimously amid much enthusiasm.
 "The republicans of Kansas are of one mind in the choice of a candidate of the party for President of the United States. The proved statesmanship executive abl- ity and magnificent manhood of the can didate fits him for the office and com- mands the approval and confidence of the people; therefore:
 We instruct the delegates to the sna- tional convention to vote on every pre- liminary and test vote and on every bal lot for the nomination of William H. Taft
 The resolutions indorse the adminis- tration of President Roosevelt and the Kansas delegation in Congress.
 The delegates elected to Chicago are United States Senators Chester I. Long and Charles Curtis; Albert McGoningle of Colby and Grant Hornaday of Fort Scott.
 David R. Mulvane of Topeka was in dorsed for national committeeman. To- days convention probably will be the last state convention to be held in Kan sas Hereafter candidates are to be chosen by primaries.
 J. B. Adams of Eldorado, who was selected as chairman, spoke in part as follows:
 "There is somewhere a common ground upon which all republicans can stand somewhere between the radical and tho reactonary--between the progressive and the conservative, there is the golden mean, the so-called happy medium, the common ground upon which all the re- pubicans of this country can stand to- gether and upon which the integrity and supremacy of the party can and will be established and perpetuated. The one man big enough, broad enough, far enough and strong enough to find this common ground, and bring together the divergent, antagonistic and seemingly ir- reconcilable divisions of the republican party is William H. Taft of Ohio.''
