credt-the financial houses of Washington have done
more during the past year through The Star than in any
other way educate the public to the of Banks
Trust Companies and Savings Banks.
The public is eager read and receive wise advice
and counsel about small and large investments The
Banks and Trust Companies the safe to give it.
The Savings Banks the counselors OF the
thrifty who save. The Building Associations are the
friends who lend helping hand to those who wish to
build
During the past year the financial institutions of
Washington have taken the public into their conf
dence more than before by telling the whole OF
Washington through the columns of The Star of their
facilities and offering friendly interest in their
patrons personal affairs.
The human touch in advertising is more in evil
dence in such announcements and is drawing the de-
positor closer to his banker friend.
In 1913 The Star printed 2s7,4eo lines OF bank
ing advertisement, gain of 69o73 lines over 1912.

CONVENTION POLL Is TAKEN
Delegates Who Were at Balti-
more Are Largely in Sup
port of Wilson.

wAsiiiNGToS. April 12.-Pres.dent Will
son and his advisers apparently are be-
coming worried over the fate Of the
Panama tolls repeal bill in the Senate.
Two members of the Cabinet issued
statements tonight defending the Ad-
rinistration measure.
by authority of the Democratic Ma
t!onal Committee statement was also
issued to show that a majority Of the
delegates who sat in the Baltimore
convention in 1912 did not know Of the
presence in the platform of the plank
indorsing the tolls exemption clause.
This statement further contends that
majority OF the delegates are with
!lte President on this issue despite the
inform decoration.
Nm a copy OF an editorial to be printed
w the Com,noner Secretary Bryan
makes an extended argument in sup
port of the repeal bill.
He takes the position that the plank
approving the exemption clause does
ROT count in view, Of the party's time
honored hostility" to bounties and SUBJ
