TAFT or ROOSEVELT llllaell7
Thus Far Colonel Roosevelt Leads
Taft in the Number Of Dialogues
" by Nine-severA STATES Yet to
Hear from With Chances IN F.-
vof Of the Former President.

Out of the 81 staets which have
held Republican conventions or pri-
maries. including Hawaii and the
philippines. Former President
Roosevelt is in the lead over Taft
by nine, according to figures receiv-
ed by the Enterprise today. There
are still II states to hear from and
It looks now az though Colonel
Roosevelt will go to tho Chicago
convention with the larger number
OF delegates in his favor. There are
1876 contesting delegates and - un-
instructed, these latter coming from
Connecticut, Delaware. Massachu-
sets, Michigan, Missouri. South Car
olina. Vermont and Virginia. Wis.,
consin with rs delegates and North
Dakota with 10 delegates have been
instructed for La Toilette. Iowa
gives Cummins 10 delegates out of
it's 26.
1t ia likely that the La Toilette
and Cummins delegates will go over
to Roosevelt rather than for Taft If
it is seen that there Is no possible
chance for either Of the former can
didates. It remains then to be seen
what will become of the 10 con-
testing delegates and uninstructed
delegates. 1t appears from advices
that the contesting delegates are
against Taft and the uninstructed
divided about equally between the
latter and the Colonel.
- If Roosevelt can hold his own in
the states which have not 40 yet
held convention he will in all prob
ability be the next nominee of the
Republican party. He has every
thing in his favor at the present
time and the Taft element seems to
be losing ground.
II it is found that Teddy cannot
carry the Chicago convention It is
likely that the Progressives will
marshall their forces and give the
nomination to some one besides
Taft. with odds in favor of Little
Bob" from Wisconsin. It ia not be-
ing thought Of for a moment that
the Progressives will join the Taft
forces, as the former are of the
opinion that II Taft is nominated
he will go down in defeat at the
polls by the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party.

BANKING REFORM.

The bulwark of our American
banking system is the independent
bank, owned and managed by trusted
men Of affairs in the community it
serves. Every bank is an integral
part of the business life of it's COM
munity.
Any proposal for banking reform
which did not preserve this indie
pendence would be repugnaM to our
American banking traditions. While
we recognize the great service per-
formed in Canada and other coun-
tries by the branch banking system,
our people would vigorously oppose
system which would be the means
Of centralizing banking power by
chains OF centrally owned banks,
stretching across the country.
The opposition to great central
bank, like the Bank OF England ia
even stronger than the opposition to
branch banks; although, again, it il
not to be denied that central banks
have proved signaly effective in up.
holding the credit of the nations OF
Europe.
We have now before the country
a proposal for a cooperative bank
ing system-free from the features
Of branch banking and central bank
ing Objectionable to American dem
ocratic ideals-the head Of which Is
to be cooperative association
owned by all the banks of the coun-
try.
The thousands of smaller banks
throughout the country are asking,
What benefit will we and OUT COM
munittes derive from a national re-
serve association" This question
Is answered in a pamphlet published
by the National Citizens League.
Among the advantages cited are:
Insurance against money panics
like that of 1907.
Lower interest rates in sections of
the country away from the financial
oenters.
Narrower fluctuations In interest
rates.
The attraction of investment CAP
ital from the highly developed Sec
lions to the newer. growing sections
needing foreign capital
The financing of the yearly move
ment Of the crops at less cost and
with less disturbance to tho money
market.
More independence for smaller
banks.
Economy in the use of cash in the
daily business OF the country.
Assurance that a sound bank will
always be able to take care Of the
legitimate needs of its customers,
The promotion Of sound banking
practices.

+'RECALL NO DISGRACE"

Our attention has been directed
to a communication under the above
caption in a recent issue of our con-
temporary, signed by r. J. Mon
tague, In which exception Is taken to
the intimation in a recent article in
the Enterprise that the recalling Of
a public official puts a blot upon his
standing in a community, the COM
munication containing a history Of
the origin OF the recall and citing
certain English and Canadian states
men who have submitted to its pro-
visions.
1t is not the intention or desire of
the Enterprise to enter into any per-
sonal reflections during the present
campaign. or during any campaign,
as regards the personal views Of any
citizen on any matter Of public i'm
port, for we feel that the constitu-
ton Of these United States guaran-
tees to every citizen the right Of
free thought and the free expression
thereof on such matters without
danger of being run over; but we
cannot but feel the communication
would have carried more weight in
Virginia had it borne the signature
OF many another resident.
And despite the ELUSIVE disser-
tation by Mr.. Montague. we still
maintain that our former article
in regard to the Recall is strictly
correct; that its application cannot
but tend to place a public official
under stigma in the community;
that while we still believe in the
principle in extreme cases we be-
lieve the Recall should be so guard
ed as to guarantee to an Official ex-
emption from the onslaught of the
agitator, and that the working out
Of the principle by the agitator will
tend to make honorable citizenship
fight shy bt seeking positions Of
public service.
And from the many expressions Of
commentator which have reached
us anent our former article we feel
that the better element of Virginia
citizenship holds a similar view on
the question.
