 Much stress is being laid by the Democratic committee on the plank in the Denver platform relating to the guarantee of bank deposits and this topic will be discussed quite freely by Mir. Bryan in his speech at Topeka Aug. 27. If the suggestion is followed-and there Is reason to believe 1t will be ---every community in which bank has failed during the past year or more. will be given especial attention by the literary bureau. The sufferers from the failures will be sought out and provided with arguments through which if is hoped to convince them of the soundness of guarantee banks.
 Mir. Bryan today, as usual. attended morning services at the little Metho- dist Church In Fairview. Tn the aft ernoon number of automobiiists from Lincoln, among them Mayor Frank W. Brown, rode out and paid neighborly visits to the Bryan family. When the party arrived MT. Bryan Wds out Oh his farm but he was notified of the presence of his callers and he quickly returned to the house. Matters politi- cal were not touebed upon.

 When one sees new houses building for the union miners in the vicinity of nearly every mining camp. he is in- pressed stth the fact that the union miners must have much money to con tinue this contest. They have bought or rented large tracts of land in vari- ous parts of the district. and are buiid- ing houses. or putting up tents, to pro- vide for the evicted workmen and their families.
 No one may predict the ending of the strike. Both sides declare ability to continue it indefinitely. Merchants and professional men. as we'll as corpora ton managers, are in a frenzy over conditions Business Is paralyzed. Re- trenchment is the order of the day. No one is spending money. This, coupled with the daily reports of violence. brings feeling of unrest that is bear ing down on the Birmingham district In a way that beggars description.
 If the problem is not solved. and solved soon, the entire state may be af- fected.
