Sentiment There.
AFFECT CURRENCY BILL
(American News Service)

(American News Service)
Washington, July Con the success
of speechmaking tour of the South,
which Senator Aldrich will make early
in the fall. will depend the decision
as to whether a bill for the reform of
the currency system will be introduced
in congress at the next session. This
trip has been decided upon by Presi-
dent Taft and Senator Aldrich. Sena-
tor Aldrich's western tour was not
regarded as successful in bringing
about final verdict. If sentiment in
the south proves to be favorable to a
central bank. it is probable that a
currency reform will be introduced
next January. thus giving Senator AL
drich an opportunity to start the bills
on the ways Of congress before his
announced retirement on March 4.
