CURRENCY REFORM
.STOUTLY OPPOSED

Washington, May 22.-The Senate
izing the Banking and Currency Com
mittee to hold hearings on proposed
currency legislation. after several Re-
publicans had voiced active oppositjon
to the passage at this session of any
measure making sweeping changes in
the nations financial system. Senator
Gal!inger expressed the hope that no
lll-natured and hastily constructed cur
rency bill would be brought forward
TO occupy the summer months. SEN
ator Bristow said the tariff should have
all the attention OF Congress, and sew
eral others indicated plainly their hos
tility to such Legislation at this time.
Senator Townsend made the point
that currency reform is being urged
at this time Ito divert atten-
ton from the tariff" and Senator New
lands offered plan for reform which
differs from the one proposed by the
national monetary commission. and
those bearing tho apparent stamp OF
prominent Democrats on the House and
Senate Banking Committee.
Chairman Owen, of the Senate COM
mittee, refused 10 submit TO a cross
examination" as to conference he may
have had with President Wilson about
currency, and declined TO say whether
a bill might be pushed at this session
Senator Bacon reaffirmed his belief that
such a measure should be passed. and
was OF the opinion that II might be
expected to appear.
Senator Newlands advanced the idea
that there should he reserve assoch-
tons in every State OF the Union, in
stead OF the fifteen proposed by the
Monetary Commission, or the seven
teen or twenty understood TO be fav-
ored by Democrats on Congress bank
ing committees. These associations,
Mr.. Newlands argued, should be state
wide only in extent. with n bankinS
board to provide the central control.
President Wilson heard with inter
est day that Republican Senator's
were anxious to be consulted In the
preliminary conferences looking to-
ward currency reform. Eic inquired
If such an impression prevailed at
the Capitol. and was told by some
of the newspaper correspondents at
their semiweekly conference that the
wish had been expressed by Repuhli-
can Senators. Mr.. Wilson made no
comment, but it was regarded as signi-
fcant that Secretary McAdoo. OF the
Treasury Department, has been con-
ferring with Senators Burton. OF Ohio.
and Weeks of Massachusetts. both
Republicans, on currency questions.
To-day, the President himself talked
currency with A Piatt Andrew, assis-
tant Secretary Of the Treasury under
the Taft administration. NJ. An
drew also has been III frequent con-
ference with Senator Owen.

Bradley vs.. Beckham Again.

1t may be that the next race
for United Statss Senator in Ken
lucky will be the old race over
again between w. o. Bradley
and ]. C. W. Beckham. Sena-
tor Bradley has announced that
he will be a candidate again for
the Republican nomination. If
he does not change his mind
there can be but little doubt that
he will secure the Republican
nomination in the primary elect
ion next August. With Bradley
as the Republican candidate the
Progressive will certainly have a
candidate, for of all the Repub-
licans in the State Bradley is the
most offensive to the Progress
sive party. Of course under
these conditions any candidate
nominated by the Democrats
will have a walk over, Woodrow
Wilson had a plurality of 1O0,.
600 votes with Republican and
Progressive tickets in the field
against him and the Democratic
nominee for United States Sem
ator under the same conditions
would have eqvally as large a
plurality. In the event that the
Progressive party goes to pieces
before next year, amp there are
some signs of that, at least half
of the progressive would vote
for progressive Democrat be-
fore they would for Bradley.

the elebtion of Bradley six years
rgo would be the acute issue and
Beckham would win by $4,000.
Nothing would give the friends
of Gov. Beckham greater pleas
ure than to have Senator Brad
ley nominated for rejection.
He will be nominated certainly
if he wants it and he says he
does. His candidscy for the
nomination will materially
strengthen the chances of Beck
ham for the Democratic nomina-
ton as the people of Kentucky
only need a chance to put the
stamp'of their disapproval on the
way Bradley was elected over
