BRYAN TALKS TO
BANKERS CLUB
Says People Demand Absolute
Security for Deposits
They Make.

Chicago, May %. = William J. Bryan
made plea before the Bankers club, of
Chicago tonight for an emergency cur
tency bill that would help state as well
as national banks to relieve money strin-
gency, and sounded warning that the
people would demand a government bank
unless absolute security for deposits can
be assured them.
He spoke on The Banking Business
before several hundred members on the
occasion Of the 10th regular meeting of
the club.
On the subject of emergency currency
Mir. Bryan said that he believed this cur
rency should be issued by the federal
government and loaned 10 the banks. One
reason advanced for the relief was that
the state banks could be given the same
assistance in times of need as the gov
eminent institution.
Il do not know he said. why a state
bank should not be thus aided in the mat
ter of relieving distress. In my opinion
the state and the national banks should
be placed on the same footing when il
comes 10 the question of securing emer-
sency currency

anteed banks than government banks. but

Among other cures for the banking ills

every other bank. the plan being worked

PERMISSION GRANTED

ENTERS PROTEST AGAINST THE
DAY WHEN THE DEMAGoGUE
SHALL BE EXALTED"

Chicago, May 22.-Former Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw delivered
an address today before the convention
Of the National Electric Light associa-
ton. He said in part:
In several of the states the people
are holding the executive responsible for
legislation and are demanding that it CO.
cree the legislative department, if neces-
sary. and are giving il all the credit for
such legislation as is enacted. No man
is responsible for this sentiment. 1t is a
part of the evolution of the times. The
trend OF the times is toward political
bossism.
Praise for One; Prison the Other.
He VINO through love of power reaches
out his hand TO crush a business oppo-
nent is universally considered worthy of
the penitentiary, while they who would
through love of power reach both hands
to crush political opponents are recipients
of the highest praise from the press, pull
pit ana the people.
Until recently we have had the bene-
fit Of a progressive and a conservative
party. But now both political parties
have become progressive, If not radical.
For the first time in human history a
great English-speaking people is without
conservative leadership. 1 have never
ceased to be thankful that a minority
has always stood ready TO challenge the
majority, but there is now no challenging
party.

Diekerson Now Governor.

Lieutenant Governor d. s. Dickerson is
now governor of Nevada. He came to Ne
Vada eight years ago and went to work
In mine a Cherry Tree. His friends
nominated him for county clerk, which
he won by a tremendous vote on a Demo-
cratic ticket in a Republican county. He
was reelected each succeeding term.
when he came to Reno in 1906 as delegate
10 the state Democratic convention. He
was then placed in nomination as lieu
tenant governor, with John Sparks at the
head of the ticket. He succeeded in de-
feating Lem Allen for the lieutenant
gOVeFnOrship in one of the cleanest-cut
political battles ever waged in Nevada.
Governor DickersOn said today: My
policy as governor of Nevada will be TO
administer the affairs of the state as 1
would my own private business.
