Democrats Will Not Treat

The Democrats will make a serious
mistake If they undertake to treat cur

point" asserted Congressman Hayes. a
California Republican. today. Mr.. Hayes
will be ranking minority member ON
the new Banking and Currency Com
mittee, and he wants a nonpartisan re-
vision of the banking and currency
laws
The currency question:" he said,
should be treated as a scientific and
not a partisan one. 1t il to be hoped
that the Democrats will endeavor TO
bring in a nonpartisan bill, for 1t would
be both unwise and dangerous to deal
with currency reform from a political
viewpoint"
1t Is understood that Senate and House
leaders. with the approval Of the Presi-

William F. GUIDE, chairman Of the

paign. is sanguine over the prospects o!
success.
The only reason We did not get the
money during the twelve-day campaign
is that We did not reach the masses OF
the people properly. and 1t is upon the
masses of the people that we must de-
pend. I believe the men who are work
ing for the fund now realize this fact
and that as soon as the people are
properly reached the results will be
surprising.
1T is unfortunate that busy men have
to leave their business and go out and
solicit the subscriptions. and
I certainly hope the voluntary subscrip-
tions which have been notable during
the past week will keep coming in"
