10 be the heir of the Roosevelt policies, and yet

the admiration of the entire country
Mr Bryan processes to be the great friend OF
labor and yet he was one OF the cnieL SUPPORT a,1
ers in the massage of the German wilson Dill
that made labor helpless for four years de
then proposed as a remedy for the disasters 10
which LABOR was thus exposed the Issuing OF
50-cent dollar which would have cut in half
such wages as there were and would nave 4eu
to the hardest kind of struggle on labors part
to restore its wages to their proper equiFalehe
under the gold standard
The country has been most fortunate that the
falacy OF Mr.. Bryan's railroad propositlons mas
been exDosed without the cost of putting them
into actual governmental practice and II VIII De
fortunate. indeed, II the danger OF four years
depression TO which il would be exposed In case
of Mr. Bryan's election, may be averted and II
by Republican success in November and SUD
seuuent prosperity and by a ciinchfng OF tne
Roosevelt policies he may again b. shown to De

WHAT BRYAN'S ATTACK MAY LEAD TO.
Among Mr. Taft's friends and advisers there
is no small degree of satisfaction that in an
unguarded moment the Democratic candidate
should have attacked his opponent with a charge
so unjust as TO arouse the latter's fighting blood,
for Mr. Taft although ordinarily an opponent OF
great caimness and good nature. when sufh-
cfently aroused can strike back with force, and
it is felt that If anything were needed at this
stage of the campaign 1t was an unfair attack
bv Brvan to precipitate a whirlwind battle for
the outcome of which none of Mr.. Taft's friends
has any fear
The Democratic press of this state is still en-
deavorng to create political capital out of the
. fact that Mr. Taft has consented to receive the
sub committee Of the Hamilton County Repub-
Iican Committee of which George B. Cox is
chairman and which appointed to confer
with the Presidential candidate over the cam
paign in this county. Mr. Taft replied TO let
ter from a member of the committee asking
that it be received. saying that he viii be glad
TO confer with the committee soon Mr..
Vorys returns from the East, and the text of
this letter was made public to-day by William
H Lueders TO whom ii was addressed
of course the fact that Mr. Taft has consent
cd to confer with this committee cannot be re-
garded as especially significant, since he receives
practically all Comers, nor is it likely that the
so-called conference will amount to than
n formal payment OF respects: but IL affords
handle on which to hang local sensation. and
the opportunity has not been missed by the op-
position newspapers
Al
Mr. Taft's hfty-hrst birthday. many letters of
concentration have already been received
There will be no special celebration and the day
will be devoted TO the routine Of the campaign
delegation of about thousand men from
Greenfield. Ind, is due at IL O'Clock. They will
march 70 the Sinton Hotel and will there occupy
the assembly room. where Mr.. Taft win first
address them and t;ien meet them in an infor-
NAL reception. In the evening the candidate
ress Of the American negro to the African Meth
odist Episcopal Conference. which meets here
to- morrow. \ delegation from the conference
win call for the candidate at his home at $50
in the evening and will escurt him To the Allen
Temple. where no will address the entire MEM
bership.
further light was thrown the working OF
the bank deposi. guarantee law of Oklahoma,
light which FIR. Bryan evidently forgot by a
letter which reached Mr. Taft to-day from a
banker of that state. who says in part:
The State of Oklahoma has made tho deposit
guaranty law and says IL is good but when anv
state or county officer deposits any public funds
in his control ne requires additional bond
insuring these public funds. which would indi-
cate that the state and county officers of okla
homa do not consider the law that Is good
enough Ia protect the peoples money good
enough to offer them protection with tho public
funds. although the Law covers all deposits
The bank with which am c1nneoted operates
under this law, and when il was Orgen enized In
June last, we had To pey into the state Treas
ury per cent Of our capital To- come under the
guaranty law. Nevertheless, when I apply for
n deposit of part of the county or state funds
| am required 10 execute additional bond
covering that deposit.
