BANK GUARANTEE LAW
Governor Campbell Thinks the Bond
Plan Will Be obsoIete-spoke
Before Dallas Press Club.

Dallas, Texas, June I'm his
Speech before the Dallas Press Club
this afternoon, where he was the
guest of honor, Governor Thomas NJ
Campbell made some reference to the
bank guaranty law lately enacted in
Texas, defending one portion of it
and condemning another. He liked
the assessment plan of guaranty. he
said, but was against the bond plan,
and expressed the belief that the lat
ter was destined to become obsolete
The governor also voiced his pleas
lure that there were no fireworks"
on this accession, and mentioned in
humorous terms those SON 9what
thrilling occasions in the past when
| he had attended banquets given in
this city. That the pyrotechnics were
absent this time, he believed, was
due to the fact that no politicians
were present to "pester" the guests.
81 am not a candidate" he added,
smilingly. Perhaps that was the
reason you invited me-"
The banquet, which was held in
the club house at Lake Cliff Park,
was a success. 1t was made notable
by reason of the fact that the COVER
nor was called upon to open the first
guaranteed bank in the state of Tex
as. This bank, or rather safe, was a
cardboard, painted to resemble enam-
eled iron, and bearing upon its door
the regular combination and handle
of bank safe. President John N.
Edwards asked the governor to open
this safe at the beginning of the BAN
quet, and as he turned the knob the
top flew off and little Miss Mary
Bird, who had been concealed inside,
sprang to her feet and began to sing,
I'm afraid to go home in the dark
In beginning his speech the COVER
nor remarked that this was warm
afternoon, but not as warm as some
of the banquets he had attended here
in the past. Then he gave some OBJ
lservatiops on the power of the press
81 pure
sAFil. Even the commercial secre-
taries can get most anything they say
printed in newspaper in Texas" he
said, as a smile spread over his face.
| Hon. J. H. Lowery of the Honey
Grove Signal, who had preceded the
governor, expressed his regret that
the fright of contract" had been de-
MED to the press of Texas. To this
the governor made a humorous re-
joinder, getting serious long enough
to deny some of the statements which
had heretofore been attributed to him
in this connection.
Among other guests of the club
were Hon. ]. H. Lowery of Honey
Grove and Hon. c. E. Gilmore of
Wills Point.

 able Indian Mementoes.

Washington.

Adams. of this city. a leader of the Delawares. has deposited with the National Museum.

The relics include a war club with silver plate which Captain Swannock. Dela- ware chief. carried through the Florida war and Captain Zecondine. Delaware war chief. carried on his two juor- neys with Fremont across the Rockies, and also in the Mexican war. The war club was also carried through the civil war, always in behalf of the United States and was presented by the Delaware Indians in 1892 to MT. Adams.

SCORES LIQUOR MEN
SALOON KEEPERS HAVE DEGRAD-
 ED AMERICAN CIVILIZATION,
s. z. Mcclure, Head of the Mcclure Publishing Company, Severely Arraigns Those Interested
 in Liquor Traffic.

Los Angeles, Feb. 6.--"Saloon keep CTS have degraded American cities and American civilization. as could only be expected"
 S. S. Mcclure. head of the Mcclure Publishing Company of New York. who sellers of liquor.
 There are several phases of the liquor question:" continued MT. Mo- Clure Among them are detriments to mems physiques, deterioration of their earning capacity and the loss to moral character. It is for all these that the temperance people are making their fight against liquor.
 Men selling liquor ally themselves with semi-criminal characters and combine with them to degrade city government. This Is especially true of Pittsburg. San Francisco and New York, where in many cases saloon keepers combine with capitalists who want franchises to dominate municipal affairs. Thus the liquor men and their allies are allowed to violate the laws and are granted special privileges. and the result Is that the people are given a saloon government.
 'who are the saloon keepers? No man of fine feelings would be one as the more profits the seller of liquors obtains, the more he degrades his fel- low man and in most cases breaks the laws.
 Because of the control of govern ment by saloons and the liquor busi- ness in general the most terrible crimes like murders. are of ten times the frequency in America that they are In Europe.
 "The movement against liquor is not temporary: it is gathering force and will continue. I find in travelling over the country that the liquor question Is one of the two conspicuous issues now in existence. The other is municipal government"

McNeel was the leader of the Conner forces in Talladega County. Tn the last race. while the county .went for Cunningham. much excellent work was done by Mir. McNeei in behalf of MT. Conner. <k--.
