BUSY WEEK FOR TAFT

Washington, Feb. 17-Secretary
Taft will have busy week of cam
paigning beginning today in New
England. where he will contest with
Hughes for popular favor. He will
speak before the Taft Club Of Con-
cord, n. H., tomorrow, and on We'd
nesday will go to New Haven to ad-
dress the Young Mems Republican
Club and to attend a meeting Of the
Yale corporation. The Taft Club Of
Connecticut, which has over 1000
members, will be his official escort.
Frank Butterworth, former Yale
football player, is president of the
club. and Taft is officially supported
| by Yale men in his campaign for the
presidency.
1t was the original intention Of the
club to give dinner in honor of Sec
rotary Taft in the Yale dining hall,
| but permission to do this has been
denied by Secretary Stokes OF the
Yale CORPORATION, who thinks that no
| Yale building should be used for 20
! litical purposes.
! The strenuous week Of SECRETARY
:, Taft will end Saturday night at Buff
! falo, where he will deliver an address
on the political issues of the campaign
at the annual dinner Of the Ellicott
Club.
While Secretary Taft is campaign
ing in the East, his principal oppon-
ent for the Republican presidential
nomination will not be idle. Cover
nor Hughes will invade Cannon ter
ritory on Saturday, when he will be
the principal speaker at the annual
banquet of the Union League of Chi
cago. The invitation is Of year S
standing and it is likely that Gov
ernor Hughes will take advantage OF
the occasion TO give further express
sion to his political views.
Several district conventions Tor the
tseIection of delegates to the RcpuDlt-
can national convention will be held
during the week The convention OF
tAe Fourth Ohio district will be held
in Sidney tomorrow, that of the Nine
lteenth Ohio in Warren on Wednesday
1.-The Seventh Missouri in Sedalia to-
morrow and the Ninth Missouri in St
lCharles tomorrow All Of these dele
d cations will presumably favor Secre-
tary Taft.
The Democrats of Oklahoma and
Kansas will hol1 state conventions
the latter part of this week, wher
delegates to the Denver convention
will be chosen. Bryan is a decided
favorite in both of these states and nc
other presidential possibility will bt
considered.

GUARANTEE
BANK DEPOSITS

Guthrie. Okla, Feb. 11.-Oklahoma's
new law by which bank deposits are
guaranteed become effective today
Under the provisions of the act, each
state bank is required TO pay to the
state banking board sum equal to /
per cent OF it's average deposits
Whenever this sum is depleted it will
be increased by further assessments.
Whenever bank fails the state bank
examiner will forthwith pay the de-
positors from the guarantee funds
held by the banking board. These
payments become a first lien upon the
assets OF the defunct bank.
National banks are not required,
under this law, to come under its pro-
visions, and probably could not be;
but they are permitted to do SO IL they
wish, under a plan to be agreed on
! between the state banking board and
the controller Of the currency of the
| United States.
