EXAMPLE MADE OF BANK
Failure of Oklahoma Institution
Called Campaign Exhibit

WASHINGTON, Sept 2s-The failure
of the National bank of Colgate, Okla,
has evoked much interest among the
cabinet officials, in view of William
j. Bryan's reference to that institution
as an evidence of the desirability of
law guaranteeing bank deposits and it
was expected the matter would come
before the cabinet meeting. Referring
to the failure, Secretary Straus of the
department of commerce and labor
said:
It is well for the public 10 know what the
Facts are concerning this bank. The presi-
dent Of the bank in question (the National bank
OF okiahoma) owed the bank something over
$4,000. and the cashier owed about S4 6O0 ac-
cording to the Southwestern Banker of Kansas
City. Mr.. Whitson. the assistant bank COM
missioner. is authority for the statement that
the bank was perfectly solid; its cash and
solid paper were 60 per cent of its debts.
In view of the fact that the officers were
indebted TO the banks to the amounts stated
at the time the bank was permitted to qualify
under the guaranty law, 1t is hard to under
stand why the bank was closed for an offense
committed prior to the time 1t was permitted
to operate under the new guaranty law.
telegram dated September 81, received
from the secretary of the bank board of
Oklahoma. says that the bank commissioner
has closed one bank and the amount with
drawn from the guaranty fund to pay the
claim Of the depositors is S24 S43 7. all of which
has been paid back to the guaranty fund from
the liquidation Of the assets of the closed bani
In other words, the bank was entirely sol
