standard OF solveDcy and honesty, by
forced liquidation Of the weak and in
solvent ones or by their recapitalization.
Frequent, rigid, efficient examinations
and prosecution Of violations Of the laws
will accomplish much In that direction,
and II the bank commiss oner will use
wisely and effectively all the means and
facilities now given him, II he will pay
more attention to bis banks on the inside
and less to politics, he will accomplish
much for stockholders and depositors.
Our banks came through the panic
stronger than ever In cash reserve and
In public confidence.
An efficient administration with the
means end facilities now In hand, should
make impossible such tragic failures az
that at Ellinwood. The practices and
policies which lead up to such ruin and
death do not develope In day or week
or month, but run through months and
sometimes years.

prosperity Of communities. When the
first offenses are detected ia the time to

The Republican party In state and In
the nation can face the next campaign
with confidence Of duty faithfully and
honestly performed. Our presidents
motto has been, observe, obey and en-
force the laws, that all shall stand equal
before the law. That every man shall
have equal opportunity regardless Of
position or influence and that all VIC
lators Of the law be punished alike re-
gardless of influence or wealth or station
in life.
The administration Of Theodore
Roosevelt has had a wholesome Influence
His courageous, honest personality has
left lasting impression on our national
life. The administration Of the affairs OF
our state have been conducted In such a
manner as to be entirely free from crlti-
cism by even our opponents, and the
next campaign will not be personal as
the last, for there is no breath Of scandal
or suspicion attaching to the admins.

Your servants are doing their whole
duty under the law and will be able to
give good account Of themselves.
