Vice President Marshall Says
There Will Be No Contest
Among Democrats.
EXPECTS PARTISANSHIP
TO BE SUNK THIS FALL
Does Not Believe That General Ma
tional Campaign Will
Develop.

Vice President Marshall today gave out
statement in which he declared that
President Wilson would be the democrat
ic candidate for the presidency In 1916
1.-THE democratic party will have but one
candidate for President in 1916, and his
name happens to be Woodrow Wilson,"
said the Vice President. HE will have
the enthusiastic. unqualified and united
support of his party
Expects No Wide Campaign.
The Vice President expressed the be-
lief that a national campaign in the
ordinary acceptation of that phrase would
not develop this fall. He said:
1T is a maxim of law that in the midst
of arms the laws are silent and 1 pre-
dict that in the midst of the European
conflict politics in America will be silent
Here and there men will vote because of
personal preferences for candidates, but
the people as whole will appreciate the
extremely delicate situation in which the
republic finds itself and will realize the
Importance of restraint in expressing
views about the foreign war, the neces-
sity of needing the Presidents injunc-
ton to maintain a strict neutrality and
the danger to the preservation of that
peace which is our greatest blessing of
rocking the boat while passing through
this troubled sea.
They will not wish to interfere In any
way with the Jealous labors of the Presi-
dent and his advisers to maintain friend
~ relations with all peoples and en-
tangling alliances with none. In my
Judgment, partisanship will be sunk by
the American people in their great desire
to preserve the blessings of peace.
Says Wilson Will Be Chosen.
1--WE may and probably shall have poll
tics in 1916, but not in 1914 And though
it may afford the newspaper men q pleas
ant diversion in hot weather to guess as
to probable candidates for the presidency,
they may well confine their guesses to
the republican and bull moose parties.
There will be no contest in the demo-
cratic party. The policies of the Presi-
dent are practically in allegiance because
of the conflict in Europe. Fair-minded
democrats will recognize that he is en-
titled to a chance for second term to
prove the utility of his policies. Light
ming rods already up may as well be
taken down and preserved for future use:
democratic lightning will not strike a
rod in 1916 The democratic party will
have but on candidate for President in
1916 and his name happens to be Wood
row Wilson. He will have the enthusi-
astic, unqualified and united support of
his party

PERMIT TO ESTABLISH
SOUTH AMERICAN BANKS
Authority Issued by Federal Reserve
Board to New York
Institution.

The federal reserve board this morning
gave permission to the National City
Bank of New York to establish two
branches in South America One is to be
in Rio de Janero and the other in Buenos
Aires.
A representative of the bank was at
the Department of Commerce this morn
ing discussing the matter with officials
of the department. He expressed much
qualification at the action Of the board
and the cooperation received from the
department.
1.-THE department is gratified to learn of
the action of the bank said an official
of the department at noon today. one
of our drawbacks in trade with South
America is our lack Of banking, exchange
and credit systems"
Tentative Date of Opening.
October 1 is tentative date set for the
onening of the new federal reserve bank
system. Announcement has been made by
the Secretary of the Treasury, chairman
and ex-officio member Of the federal re-
serve board, that it is hoped to have the
preliminary work done and business
begun by that time.
Selection of a secretary is one of the
problems that is troubling the board.
Henry B. Fine, dean of the department
of science, Princeton University, presi-
but has declined it. NJ. Parker Willis OF
New York, who has been engaged IN
statistical and other work for the reserve
bank organization committee, is under
stood to have been offered the post. He
was in Washington yesterday to talk
with members of the board.
Acting as Secretary.
In the meanwhile Milton c. Elliott is
acting as secretary pro tenn. Mr.. Elliott
was secretary of the organization COM
mittee. in addition to his duties as coun-
sci for the controller of the currency,
and has been selected to be counsel for
the federal reserve board. His multi
farfous duties have entailed tremendous
labor upon him.
Cities File Complaints.
Financial interests of Baltimore and
Pittsburgh dissatisfied with the action of
the organization committee in the selec-
ton of reserve center cities and demark
alton of reserve districts. have filed their
complaints with the federal reserve
board. Press of more imperative con-
Germs. however has so far prevented
consideration.
Coordination Of the provisions of the
new currency laws. and amendments to
the law, where 1t may appear that they
are needed, are matters claiming the
present attention of the board meetings
The selection of class C directors of the
twelve federal reserve banks has not yet
been made, and consideration OF this
problem has gone slowly. IT must soon
be disposed of as one Of the principal
preliminary matters necessary before set
ting machinery in motion.
