THE ALDRIcH CURRENCY PLAN

The American Bankers Association
endorses the Aldrich currency bill. as
the best plan of financial legislation
that has yet been submitted. The Al
drich bill contemplates the formation
OF a central. whose stock Is TO he
owned by various banks all over the
country; and which bank shall have
the power Of issuing currency on the
security OF commercial paper. Many
features are provided to safe guard
the plan, against the possibility Of
control by any particular set o.
bankers. or any special interest. Tn
doubtedly the Aldrich plan combines
the most practical features % Eu-

reasonable satisfaction. No currency

Brattleboro. Aug 26.-The republic
can campaign was opened in Windham
county this evening with rousing
rally. Senator Charles T. Townsend
of Michigan discussed national issues
for nearly an hour and half. He
showed how President Taft. with an
adverse congress part of the time, has
succeeded in getting large portion
of the republican platform, which was
drawn with Colonel Roosevelt's con-
sent in 1908, enacted into legislation
and the merits of each measure. He
compared the two men from his ac
quairtance. showing one to he an ad-
Vertiscr, the other one a statesman.
He dwelt briefly with the Chicago con-
vention and the bossism of the pro-
gressive candidate In debating that
all followers should leave the party
which had made him all he had been
in political life.
The other speakers were J. G.. Sar-
gent of Ludlow and Scion Archmond,
candidate for town representative.

OPPOSED TO THE RECALL
It "W Tend to Deprive the Public of Judges of
Ability, High Sense of Duty and Due Re
gard to Enlightened Sentiment"

"The application of the recall to an
ordinary Official may be a question of
expediency, but it is not fundamentally
wrong. 10 apply it to the judiciary is in
violation of the principles of govern
ment which ages of experience have
demonstrated to be wise.
'rhc advocates of this system claim
that it is in the interest of the common
people. This we deny. For more than 300
years the greatest bulwark for the
protection of the mass of the people has
been the courts. There never was a time
in our country when any man. however
poor or humble. could not apply to the
courts and be assured of protection. Is It
any reproach upon the courts that they
have extended the same protection to the
rich and powerful when assailed by
popular prejudice?"
