Senator CLapp Has Fun
At ]. J. HiLPS Expense

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Sept. 90
'Hill. this Is the rottenest railroad in
the United States"
This sentence and others OF q similar
nature were hurled at the head OF
James J. Hill, the railroad magnate.
by Senator Moses E Clapp Of Mime
sofa, in St Paul this afternoon. There
was nothing too mean for CIapp 10 say
about HIS railroad. and finally Hin.
frantic with irritation. rushed into the
station 10 see the stationmaster in or
der 10 obey Clapp's commands.
He got rebuffed for his pains, as the
stationmastev had never even heard OF
James J. Hill, judging from the way ne
answered the nervous queries Of that
gentleman.
The trouble arose from the fact that
Tafts special train, which had been
scheduled 10 leave st. Paul for Mime
apolls at $50 o'clock. was delayed thir-
y minutes ir being transferred from
the Rock Island to the Great Northern.
which IS a Hill road.
Before Clapp had hRished, Hill was
loping up ana down. the tracks under
the train shed like Il startled reindeer,
MS white hair GGC beard waving in
the air. When he finally found the raft
tram and piloted the Presidential can
dldate 10 his private car, the railroad
magnate sank into a chair and mopped
the sweat Of honest labor from his
brow. Clapp 1T this tiIRe was in The
rear Of the car laughing hysterically.

G. P. Dorr Declares Pan

Taft is strong in West Virginia, and
will get the electoral vote Of the State

district Of that State. last night
Mr.. Dorr was in the city yesterday for
a few hours IN route to his home at

ence with the leaders at Republican
headquarters.
so far as the national ticket is con-
cerned.' said the West Virginian. there
is no doubt about Taft. but the State
election is another story While there
is much feeling over the way the guber-
natortaI nomination has been handled
and here and there a sore spot, be-
Ueve that before election day comes,
the boys will line UP for the State ticket.
GIasscock IS a strong candidate, and
has friends In all parts Of the State.
He is the compromise candidate. and the
friends OF the other two men, SwiSher
and Scherr. while not enthusiastic. WILL
as loyal Republicans. support him.
Taft is strong with the conservative
Den Ocrats Of the state, and he will
set a large number Of such votes The
one factor that viii tell against Bryan,
and cost him thousands OF votes. not
only in West Virginia. but throughout
the country, is The knowledge that the
United States Supreme Court viii be

not supply the need OF savings banks
Not a Vote Catcher
The postal savings banks system does
not meet the unqualified approval Of the
Democratic party It has not the vote
catching qualities, and involves only
old-fashioned gradual movement to-
ward better things.
The Democratic platform pledges the
party to a support of "a system by which
all the national banks of the country
are required 70 guarantee the deposits
10 depositOrs in every bank. ard this
guarantee is 10 be performed by a tax
upon each bank in proportion 10 its de-
pOsits, and State banks are to be allow
ed to come in and get the benefit Of the
same guarantee under conditions impos-
ed by law.
Mr.. Bryan certainly proposes 10
make the conservative banker pay for
the negligence, carelessness. lack OF
confidence or dishonesty Of the falling
banker. II takes from one without fault
on his part money 10 pay for the default
of another. That, I submit, is sociaIistic
in the extreme. If the fault Of mis-
fortune Of one banker is TO be paid for
by his colleague who is without fault.
there is not the slightest reason why all
insurance companies. life and fire.
should not be compelled to guarantee
the losses Of all companies.
Queer Socialism.
To say. as Nj Bryan does. that the
postal savings bank system Is more so
cialistic than this. IS to give a very
curious definition to socialism Postal
savings banks. take 30 mans money
TO make I'D for the default Of another.
Mr.. Bryan says that. as the Govern
ment has security. why should not the
individual depOsitor have security. The
Government usually has a large fund.
II must keep its funds so that IL can
surely have them in order TO run the
Government at all. The law therefore
requires exact security for its deposits.
The case Of Oklahoma has been cited
as an instance TO justify the Demo-
cratic platform. The system has been
IN operation in Oklahoma since March.
The statement IS made that the public
have so much confidence in the banks
that the deposits in the unsecured
banks are running down, and the de-
pOslts IN the secured banks are running
up S5,oUD,cUu OF the money received from
the Government 1pr school lands has

guaranty, which explains the increase. %
