Guaranty Deposit Plank Will Go In. |
The platform will have to include a |
plank pledging the party to the enact |
ment of guaranty deposit law. This
seems to be the growing sentiment of
the Republican leaders.
CONGRESSMAN Reeder of the Sixth |
district, who advocated the guaranty |
deposit law a year. ago, said this
morning: 81 am in favor of the guar
antee of bank deposits. I have favor
ed this law for some months, and in
troduced such bill in the Sixtieth
congress-"
Otis L. Benton of Oberlin. one of
the prominent bankers of the Sixth
district, and a political leader, said:
1.-THE people of Kansas demand guar
antee deposit law. and / am for the
passage of such law"
Stubbs for Guaranty Deposit Plank.
( w. r. Stubbs. who has never been
counted as very strong for the guaran-
ty deposit plan. has announced that he
is in favor of incorporating such
plank in the platform. This will go
long ways toward putting the plank
there. Mr.. Stubbs says:
Il do not believe the adoption of
such a plank would embarrass Taft in
the least. Everyone knows. the things
/ wish to have incorporated in the
platform. Every promise We make in
that platform should be as good as a
bank note. We should promise to do
less than we really do rather than to
overshoot the mark. We shouldn't
promise to do anything that we do not
intend to do. The platform should be
a straightforward statement of the
things the Republicans of Kansas
stand for whether it is all included in
the national platform or not
II have been asked" said J. L. Bris-
tow. whether think we should at
tempt to include anything in our plat
form Emphatically 1 do. I think we
should indorse the national platform
then state in a clear and concise man
ner our own ideas. i do not care to
specify at the present time, but the
| things have in mind are well known"
