NOW we come to a question that is
making Mr.. Bryan votes by thousands
every day. 1 refer to the guaranty of
bank deposits. They called 1t panic
in Cleveland's time. This year, when
almost every bank in the United States
was closed, they called it holiday,
I'm two years every state IN the
country will have a guaranty act.
"The 1907 panic could have been
averted The Los Angeles Times in
January advocated the measure, but
you don't see these bank boosts in its
editorials now.
"It would be better for the bankers
as well as the depositors If this act
was passed. Many people ship their

able to themselves, on which no inter-

confidence would be restored"

Mr.. Johnson paid some attention to
the autocratic Speaker Cannon, whose
power must be and will be curbed BY

Mr.. Johnson then took up the labor

caught by chaff The Republican plat

law already contains on this subject"

Mr.. Bryan.
william j. Bryan-what has he
done?" asked Mr.. johnson. Twice de-
feated for president, but stronger today
than he ever was.
It'll tell you what he has done to the
Republicans He has forced that great
arrogant party down on it's knees. He

'"The Republicans themselves are re-
voting Mr.. Taft says no bank guar

itself under such men as Senator La
Toilette, who pose as the real leaders.
