GEN. PEARSON, RICH FARMER,

 Our readers all know that the new coun- ty amendment simply gives the people of the state where sufficient territory exists, with ample population and taxable wealth. without violating the constitutional rights or limitations of any other county or coun- ties whatever, to form new counties for their local government.
 The purely selfish and arrogant reasons of this Birmingham cabal ought to spur every voter to make certain to vote for the amendment. It Is simply treating your fell low citizens as you would wish to be treat ed by them.

 Chicago, Oct. 21.-(Special .)--Press dispatches recently told of the kind reception accorded Mir.

On that occasion he denounced the Republican organization in North Carolina and Southern States. in tLis language

its purpose In the following circular,
which has received general dlstribu-

2. We believe the Chicago conyen-

not embody those principles, and NOM
mated candidates whose views do not
reflect the will of the people.
3. We hold that II is the right and
the duty OF the people to rebuke party
leaders when they allow political or
ganizations TO be influenced by con-
siderations of private interest.
4. In the exercise OF this right and
duty. we express our intentions to
vote for candidates who are pledged

A CONVINCING CERTIFICATE
That Every Voter Should Read Who
Believes That Bank Deposits
Should Be Guaranteed
Against Loss.

The Democratic platform favors Sc.
cured bank deposits. The Republican
platform is silent on the subject and
its leaders, Mr. Taft notably, op-
pose H..
The following certificate published
in The Commoner is distinctly inter-
esting at the present time:
Guthrie, Okla, June %, 190S.--The
deposltors' guaranty law was passed
December II, 1907, and was made op.
erative February IA, 1908.
Bank reports show that the effect
Of the law began weeks before the law
was In actual operation,
There are now Sol banks under the
law In this state. including 81 national
banks. There are 255 unsecured banks
(all nationals) in the state.
The dates OF statement calls were
as follows:
For national banks. December 2,
1907; February IA, 1908. and May 1f.
1908.
For state banks, December II,
1907; February 20, 1908, and May IA.
1908.
From December 8. 1907, to Febru-
AIRY IA, 1908, the deposits in the unse-
cured banks decreased about an even
half-milllon. The secured national
banks for the same period sgalned In
deposits about $520000. state banks
(all securely for the period from De.
cember II, 1907. TO February a. 1908,
show an increase in deposits OF $7l6,-
749.47.
For the period ending May H. Sc
cured national banks show an increase
in deposits Of S6f5,41361.
State banks tall secued) for the
period ending May A. show an in.
crease in deposits of s2,355, ,6O2.1i
For the period ending May IA The
unsecured banks (all nationals) lost In
deposits $600,S07,S6.
Deposits Of state funds show a de.
crease In both classes OF banks as
follows:
In secured banks .................s 2l.a3G 30
Total Increase in deposits in all Sc.

per reports, sl,100 S07.S sc.
Total decrease OF deposits OF state
