M'NEAL WON'T CONTEST
Decides to Let the Anthony Nomina-

T. A. McNeal will not contest the
nomination Of D. r. Anthony.
There has been considerable talk
about McNeal contesting the primary
election on account of the closeness of
the vote and the differences in figures
as received from time to time from
Leavenworth and other counties.
Mr.. McNeaI stated today that he
would not contest the election. He
official count has been made and GER
titled to the secretary of state.
This decision is in keeping with Mr..
McNeal's reputation in politics as a
hard fighter and a game loser. 1t is
understood that Gov. Stubbs and other
close friends also urged McNeal not
to contest the election after it became
certain that Anthony's majority had
passed the 100 mark.
His majority will be about 500.

Kansas Bank Guaranty Law One
Of First Questions
To Come Before the G. s. Su-
preme Court in October.
WRIT OF CERTIORARI
Has Been Applied for by the
Abilene National.
The ConstitutionaIity of the
Measure Is at Issue.

washington, Aug. 5.-One of the first
questions on which the supreme court of
the United. States will pass after IL
convenes in October will be the an
plication for it to review the litigation
in the federal courts in Kansas over
the constitutionality of the Kansas de-
positary guaranty law
John Lee Webster, ex-senator Ches-
ter l. Long and several other LAWYERS.
representing the Abilene National
bank and others filed the application
1or q writ OF certiorari in the case.
The United States circuit court for
the district of Kansas, in an opinion
handed down by Judge Pollock, ruled
tnat the law was unconstitutional as
being in violation of the fourteenth
amendment and as unlawfully dis
eliminating against national banks and
destroying their efficiency. However
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals for the Eighth circuit reversed
the lower court and held the law to he
constitutional.
IF our contentious are sound, and
we believe them to be- counsel for
the national banks say in. their brief,
"the Kansas bank guaranty law will
operate to despoil national banks of
their deposits by inducing people to
believe that depositors in the state
banks are guaranteed and that deDos-
itors in national banks are not, and
cannot be guaranteed. Such process
of spoilation will result ultimately in
the liquidation of national banks and
in increasing the number of state
banks; or we may say the destruction
of one and the upbuilding of the other,
as has been demonstrated in the state
of Oklahoma
1t is claimed that congress will
never authorize the national banks to
accept the provisions of the statute
for their reorganization as state
banks, thus procuring the benefits of
the act, because to do SO would for
all practical purposes. deprive the
federal government of all control over
such banks and make said banks SUBJ
ject to the control of the state of Kan
sas, or in other words, to all intents
and purposes, make them state banks.

Bryan Attacks Democrats Who Voted
for Lorimer

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. Sin a statement
published in his paper today in refer
ence to the meetin held recently in
Lincoln, ILL.,, to protest against legis-
Iative corruption, William ]. Bryan
declared that the Democratic legis-
lators who voted to elect William Lori
mer to the United States senate should
be read out of the Democratic party.
ANY Democrat who voted for Lori
mer for patriotic reasons ought to be
retired to private life and kept there
long enough to learn what patriotism
MEANS said Mr.. Bryan. 'It is almost
as dangerous to have a fool in the
legislature as a. knave.
"A Democratic legislator who could
be convinced that he was performing
a patriotic duty in voting for Lorimer
could be persuaded to do anything de-
sired by a lobby, provided the same
patriotic arguments were used He is
not fit for any representative position

pause to defend those who are guilty
