BANKERS DIFFER
ON NEW NOTE LAW
Heads of Newark Institutions
Discuss Effects of Change
in Form of Paper Currency.

Sentiment among local bankers ~
divided in regard 10 the me- law
changing the size of bank notes FROM
z by 3.2S inches to 6 by 2ss inches and
making several changes in the style
of the bills.
Whereas there has been nineteen
different styles in notes, varying in
color and decoration. and each style
has been used for bills OF eevry de-
nomination, in the future there will
be but one style for each denomina-
ton.
The law has a two-fold purpose
the shortening OF the bills VIII nave
the government about $780, COO a year
and in their new form viii be more
easily handled and counterfeIts more
easily detected.
Considers 1t Beneficial.
"Ys, / conside the law a good one.''
| said Arthur Phillips, cashier Of the
| Merchants National Bank. ut win
| cause us expense and 1t will be awk-
ward for the tellers at first, but they
will soon become accustomed to 1t,
and then ! think it will be more con-
venient. You see, We have machines
for stamping u presidents sigma
ture on the notes we issue, and these
machines will have to be changed for
smaller bills. The change will cost
about $3.50 a machine.
1.-THE other change is very bene-
fetal. 1t will make 1t much easier to
count bills, and easier to detect
~eounterfeits. You see, when we are
notified by the secret service that a
certain issue is being counterfeited
the teller must remember which OF
the numerous styles 1t is. With the
new bills he will have much less to
remember"
Makes Little Difference
TT will o make much difference
to bankers said Cashier Gleason. OF
the National State Bank. But the
shorter, standardized bill should
make it more convenient for the
people"
we are not in favor of this
change said vice-President King. Of
the Broad and Market National Bank
1T means changing a good many
things, and besides the bills viii be
more difficult to handle"
Cashier Van Duysen, Of the New
ark National Banking Company does
not consider the change important
TT will not make any difference to
bankers at ALL" he said.
Several bankers said that the only
thing in favor of the changes Is the
saving to the government, and that
otherwise they were unnecessary.

BRYAN Makes Forecast,

We have now approached near
enough to the Republican National
Convention to forecast the action OF
that body. EX-President Roosevelt
will, apparently, have Il majority of
the northern States, while President
Taft seems likely to have a major
ity of the convention-including the
southern delegates, who represent
merely patronage and doodle. Mr..
Roosevelt has been careful to ar.
range for contrasting delegates from
the South-this was the first indica-
ton of his intention to bolt. With
n majority of the northern delegates
he Is in position to have conven-
ton of his own In case his contest
ing delegates are refused admission
The conclusion, therefore, il that
Mr.. Roosevelt will be the nominee
of the regular convention or the
nominee OF boiling convention.
Get ready for his candidacy-he Is
quite sure to run.
Can Roosevelt be defeated? Yes,
by any good progressive. A pro-
gressive will hold the democratic
vote and the Republicans who OPP
pose third term will do the rest.
MIR. CLARK and Mr.. Wilson are the
leading progressive candidates
either one of them can defeat Roose-
welt. The country will never have
"A President for third term. The
Commoner.

First National Convention.

The first national convention
which happened TO be OF the Demo-
cratic persuasion WAS held eighty
years ago May n, ls32-in the city
of Baltimore. Conventions had been
held the year before by the "anti.
Ma~Onsn and Wings, but they were
not national in the sense that the
convention of - was.
When the country was young and
the voters comparatively few in
number national conventions were
not thought of. Washington was
taken 10y unanimous consent, Adams
as his legitimate successor, Jeffer-
son as the natural leader OF the RE
publicans," as the anti Federalists
were then called, and Madison and
Monroe as pre-eminently fitted by
training and experience. When the
party spirit became strong the nom
mating was done by congressional
and legislative caucuses, and the
caucus remained king of the situa-
ton until IL was dethroned by the
national convention idea.
king Caucus was put out of
business by that great slayer of
dragons, Andrew Jackson. "Old
Hickory got IL into his head that
the liking" was a scoundrel, and the
suspected monarch was pulled from
/ his throne, uncrowned and hustled
into oblivion.
1t would be impossible to describe
the party venom and fury of lS30.32.
The issues each active as IA
"liv" wire crowded upon each
other thick and fast-pruteCtive tar
lit, national bank, notification, par
~ patronage, the French troubles,
the Cherokee Indian question, the
bargain and sale" charge against
Adams and Clay, the Polly Eaton
row in the cabinet and multitude
of minor matters were, like SO many
typhoons, flashing the public mind in
Ia "A tempest of excitement.
70 meet all these issues, and to
formulate the 'policies" which
should quell the storm and prevent
its recurrence, the National Demo-
cratic Convention met at Baltimore.
Three hundred and twenty-six
delegates were present, representing
every section of the Union. Among
the delegates were many of the
ablest men in the party and nation,
and all the issues were thoroughly
ventilated and earnestly debated;
hut no platform" or address was
issued to the nation. Jackson's
messages were all that were needed
They were platform enough. or
course, Jackson was renominated.
1t is said that the reports of this
democratic national convention
took no less space in the New York
papers than is given today to an or
binary meeting ut Tammany hall.
The national convention system of
nominating the President has held
the stage for eighty years, and may
maintain itself for "A while longer,
but II looks as though its days were
about over. AS the congressional
caucus, the Legislature and liking
Caucus himself were finally put
down and out by the national con-
vention, the direct primary seems in
Il fair way Of dethrOning the nation
al convention as the agency for the
naming of the candidates for the
presidential office. Thomas Il,
Gregory in the New York American.

argument by slim margin if he
can hold his delegates. A major.
ity of the National Committee is
credited with favoring MIR. Taft
and there is prevailing impress
sion that it will decide in favor of
the Taft contesting delegates,
which will add materially to his
strength in the convention and
practically assure him the nomina.
ton. In this event Colonel Roose.
welt, it is more than probable, will
carry the fight into the convention
and try to seat his delegates over
the action Of the committee. Fail.
ing in this it is freely predicted
that he aud his delegates will bolt
and hold convention of their own.
The signs all point to such Il re-.
suit.

bis intention to retire at the close
Of his present term on the 4th of

will then have covered only frac-
ton more than nine years, he hav-
ing first been appointed to fill the
. vacancy occasioned by the death of
the late Senator Hoar, and his an.
nOuncement is something of a sur
prise. But MS he is a reactionary
and standpatter of the narrowest
character. and his State having de.
velUped an advanced progressive
sentiment. he has wisely concluded
to follow the example of his more
illustrious standpatter friends,
Halle of Maine and Aldrich of
Rhode Island, instead of being
boisted out on the toe of the Mas.

1t is Il popular impression that
there are more women than men in
the United States, but the reverse
OF this is true according to a stats.
teal article by William b. Bailey,
Ph. D., in the New York indie
pendent. He says that the last
census shows LOG men for every
100 women, the largest proportion
of men to women being in the Pa
cifc States, 100. } men to every 100
women, aud the smallest in New
England, where there are only 80. 3
men to every 100 women. So,
taking the country as whole,
for every lassie there's a laddie"
in prospect if she cares to make
an effort to catch him.
