Meredith Flags Cunmins.

Des MONIES, Iowa, September 1otn.-
Citizens Of Des Moines, regardless Of
their party affiliations, are discussing
y the way in. which Edwin 7. Meredith
literally "took the hide off" Albert B
Cummins in his keynote speech at the
opening Of the campaign here this
week. X 4
The auditorium was crowded when
Mr.. Meredith, as chairman OF the Dem.
ocratic rally, began his speech In which
he paid high tribute to Maurice Con-
molly, the Democratic nominee for SEN
ator, md John I. Hamilton, the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor, and in
which he particularly opened fire on his
fellow townsman, Mr.. Cummins. and
denounced him as q man unsafe to rep
resent this state in the United States
Senate.
Mr.. Meredith's speech was well
received by the Democrats OF
Des Moines and Iowa who were In
attendance, for they recognized that
Mr.. Meredith is doing everything in his
power to bring about the election Of
Maurice Connolly and Mr.. Hamilton.
and that he believes sincerely that Mr..
Cummins, even though he is his own
townsman, should no longer represent
this state in Washington. and that
George w. Clark. the present Gov
erDor, should be retired to private life.
Mr.. Meredith said that it would be
the fault Of the Democrats if they did
not win. He pointed ont that Senator
Cummins had long been an advocate OF
the tariff revision-tariff reform. That
he had even been the father OF the
8.sIowa idea" which was promulgated
throughout the United States as
''sure cure for all tariff evils, " but
that when there was an honest revision |
of the tariff under the direction Of
President Wilson. he was against it
and voted to retain the Payne-A ldrich
bill which he had denounced so often.
He pointed out that Mr.. Cummins had
long declared himself against the
money situation which permitted the
great Eastern bankers to control the
reserves Of this country. but that when
the currency measure Was before the
Senate and he had an opportunity to
make good" on his declarations for
financial reform, he failed to do 30 and
voted against this measure which had
the approval Of President Wilson.
he emphasized the fact that vote
for Congressman Connolly is really .
vote for President Wilson. He stated
that in conversation with Republicans
who declared their desire to support
President Wilson, he had showed them
the inconsistency in their voting for
Cummins and Dowell. He emphasized
the fact that Cummins' every act and
declaration had been in opposition to
the President, and that vote tor
Cummins was but . vote to continue
that opposition. He stated that numer-
ous Republicans to whom be hAd pre-.
scented the matter in that light had
later declared their intention of voting
the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Meredith declared the people
wanted to show their appreciation Of
the administration of President Wilson
and said that the people Of Iowa could
show their appreciation Of this great
and good man, Woodrow Wilson, by
sending his friend, supporter and
adviser, Maurice Connolly. to the
United States Senate.

The man who made this statement de-
clared that the II. 3. Clanin Company. in
Its statements of condition. always made
an excellent showing. but as the state
ments never contained the contingent
liabilities" there was no way OF knowing
what was going on in this direction until
Il was too late. He explained that the
only way the banks could get an idea OF
the contingent liabilities would be to ask
for them. But this information was re-
fused. It being perfectly well within the
rights OF the hrm TO keep the data secret.
old Methods Used.
Oyerexpansion. together with anti
quated and old-fashioned business meth
DDS that had been relegated TO the back
ground years ago by other corporations,
caused the firm to go into bankruptcy.
To finance this overexpansion, Mr..
Ciafiin resorted TO modern financial meth
ods-hnancing old debts with new ones.
His plan might have succeeded. It was
said. had II not been for the fact that
he failed TO adopt modern business meth
DDS He felt confident that the methods
OF doing business adhered to for so many
years would win out
Il was not until the contingent lIabIli-
ties OF the CIafiin Company became really
colossal and the firm began TO ask for
the abnormally large sum OF about &c.
10000 that the bankers in the Wall
Street district were able to get a glimpse
of the contingent liabilities II then was
seen that snah a sum would only delay
the collapse for a month or so unless a
much greater sum could be supplied The
bankers decided that II would be best
under the circumstances TO place the
concern on friendly receiYership.
