Oh. How He Fights the Bankers.

The burden OF the song Of our
amiable democratic contemporary
the World-Herald, for the last sew
eral months has been the valiant
fight put up by its owner, the sena-
tor from Nebraska, against the
bankers and in behalf Of the com
mon people. II would have its read
ers believe that Senator Hitchcock
has been dealing blows thick and
fast upon the Money trust and fore
ing the bankers into corner where
they are crying for quarter. How
hard he is pressing the enemy is
strikingly illustrated by the proceed
ings of the senate narrated in the
Congressional Record, just at hand,
in which he reproduces about fifty
letters from influential bankers, in
Guiding our home bankers, warmly
supporting his position, as witness
these few quotations, the particular
signature to each being immaterial.
Congratulating you upon your efforts,
and with best wishes for your continued
success.
We again beg to thank you for the
position you have taken on the banking
and currency question.
/ wish to take this opportunity OF con-
graduating you upon the firm and sound
stand which YOU have taken on cur
rency legislation, and the bankers are
depending upon you to counteract the
unsound measures proposed by a number
OF tho members OF your committee, and
any assistance which l can render l as
sure you | shall be glad TO DO at any
time.
! desire to congratulate you, sir, upon
the firm and unequivocal stand you have
taken In the deliberations OF your COM
mittee during the pendenoy OF the meas
ure before them. Your attitude has done
much toward bringing about a broader
view and realization OF some OF the
very Objectionable features of the bank
ing and currency measure so strongly
urged and insisted upon by the adminis-
tration.
I want to take this opportunity of as
surfing you that the bankers. as well as
the business men OF the northwest, ap-
preciate more than we can ever tell you
the most excellent work that you have
done in connection with the currency
bill.
Greatly appreciating the efforts you
are making in framing workable bank
ing and currency bill.
l want to congratulate you personally
on the work you have done In the inter-
est OF sound banking, for the prosperity
Of all the people OF the country is abso-
iutely dependent upon our banking busi-
ness being on sound basis.
In this connection | wish to express
our appreciation OF the work you per-
sonaily are doing to have the proposed
bill amended so that II will be more ac-
ceptable and more practical.
