The savings banks of Germany have
some 100000 passbooks out and their
deposits amount to 1928, 900, 900.
These deposits are practically all guar
anteed by the various municipalities of
the empire, and the condition forms n
bulwark of confidence in the security
of private wealth and earnings that
cannot be shaken by hard times, PAN
les, bank failures, etc"
Here is a fact" said Mr.. Bryan,
(which l present in answer to Mr..
Taft's opinion. The German people
cannot be accused of carelessness in
their banking business any more than
they can in other business. Here is
testimony to be found in a consular
report printed by the present admins
tration, completely answering the ar
guments that Mr.. Taft has been max
ing against the guaranteeing of de-
posits.'
The only question, he said, was
whether the deposit should be guaran-
teed by the banks or by the commune
ty. 1--WE believe" he declared, that
the banks have advantage enough from
the law to justify them in furnishing
the security themselves"

streets, escorted by several big march

were crowded throughout the drive
from the station to the Alhambra.
The Alhambra, the largest hall in
the city, was packed to its utmost ca
pacity and the police had hard task
to keep back the people who fought
for admittance. Again last night Mr..
Taft gave his strongest endorsement
to Governor Hughes. Il knew the peo-
pie of New York knew a good thing
declared Mr.. Taft, "even if they did
have to listen to rumbles from the
, west to find it out
Mr.. Taft said he had not, from the
first, had the slightest doubt about the
nomination and election of the COVER
