Mr.. Dawson's Welcome.
Attorney General John Dawson gave
the address of welcome this morning
at the first geners1 session in Repre-
sentative hall.
''I understand that this gathering
marks the twenty-ffth anniversary of
the Kansas Banke-s association" said
he. TT is certainly an occasion for
felicity. Twenty-Five years is half the
life of this young state. At the in
ception Of this organization, the state
was still poor, the banking interests
and the bank deI osits were then in
consequential. y New the state leads
the country in per capita deposits.
I'm the years that are gone, you
have seen the banking interests the
battledore and sFuttlecock of politics.
I can remember th7 time when a poll
tician who was a friend of a banker
was an object of suspicion, and the
effective rallying cry of the cheap poll
tician was to rail at the banks You
have lived that down. and if a man
were to start Z hurrah against the
banks of Kansas now he would be
laughed at for his pains. With the
passing years has come governmental
regulation, state and national in a
way that the old time banker could
not anticipate. But governmental
supervision is a good thing At least
the banks have prJspered marvellous
ly, and government control does not
appear to have i Irt the banks and
the public is satisfied.

There are still many prophets who
busy themselves with predicting that
Roosevelt Will have no party to back
him in the coming contest for the
