JOURNAL INCLINED TO BALE
Continued from First Page.)

Journal will bear out, while that shee was
jabbing senator Burkett. 1t had the effect
Mr.. Burkett figured it would. The job Is
sufficiently remunerative to pay the eN-
penses Of a trip to Annapolis and have a
little left over, besides taking a member Of
the family along, as did Mr.. Jones.
Democrats Are Trading.
Mr.. Bryan's campaign committee, headed
by Tom Allen, brother-in-law Of the demo-
cratic candidate, is d~evoting the last days
Of the campaign to double-crossing every
other candidate on the democratic ticket
and using every possible influence to help
out the Bryan vote.
Mr.. ShallenbergeT personally know this,
as he was told when he demanded support
Of Tom Allen that he would have to hustle
for himself. shallenberger then prevailed
upon Chris Gruenther, in addition to his
other duties, to at least look after his
speaking dates, so during the last few days
Gruenther has been deveting his entire time
to ShallenberEer and Tom Allen and the
rest OF the committee is. out for Bryan and
Bryan only. '
SO anxious is Allen to carry the state for
Bryan that his henchmen will stop at moth
ing to accomplish their purpose.
For instance, Frank Brown, a son of
Mayor Brown, who probably next to Mayor
Dahlman is Bryan's closest advisor in this
state, offered to trade his ~shallenberger
vote for a vote for Bryan. He offered to
make the trade with ain appointee of Gov
! ernor Sheldon. That shows just how much
faith Bryan's followers have in the ability
of Shallenberger to be elected and how
much they care. 1t Is believed no republi-
cans will be fooled by such propositions
from democrats.
Appeal to Foreign BU-u.
The democratic state COMMITTEES is maxi
ing a fearful appeal to the foreIg. born
voters to stand by Mr.. Bryan because he is
advocating the guaranty of bank depOsfH
by a levy upon the banks, and the response
to the appeals is very unsatisfactory to
the committee.
The fact that a republican congress has
appointed a commission to visit the various
countries of Europe and make a thorough
investigation into the banking institutions
of those countries is known to all voters,
The information thus obtained will be re-
ported back to congress together with rec
concentrations looking, to legislation along
safe and sane lines.
This commission, which was selected witt
I great care, will investigate the banking
business of the world and all the informa'
ton its members secure will be used fol
the benefit of the American depositors.
The fact that the republican party stand!
pledged to the postal savings bank hai
been a stumbling block in the way of the
democrats stampeding the foreign born
voter into supporting any catchy, thought
up-over-nlght plan to safeguard depositors
These people have had experience, man!
Of them, with postal savings banks, AM
they know that when the general govern
ment is behind such an institution or prop
osition there can be no doubt of the safet!
Of the peoples money.
During the last few days many calls hav
come into the democrats for some detail
l of Mr.. Bryan's ppausTof guaranteeing ban
r deposits: many haVT Inquired how much o
a fund will the baHks have 10 set aside 70
5 the guaranty fund; how much will the In
l terest rates be increased in order to Great
: this fund? One foreigner asked if a ban
with a capital of $4,000 failed, and it dc
posits of several millions, would the as
sessment that would nave to be levied o
I the other banks not seriously embarras'
D If not cripple them?
j These and many more embarrassing ques
lions are being asked the democrats, an
. so far as heard from not one of them ha
s been satisfactorily answered. The demo
= cratic committed and the democratic speal
Y ers drew the line at going into detail
a about the scheme they propose.
e This has aroused the suspicion of ii
r very people the democrats hoped to STAN
s pede, and the last few days of the can
paign democrats will devote to sidestippin
e the questions that have arisen and to
d Misrepresentation of republican candidate
and principles.
Campaign in the state.
