Another striking departure in t1-
chief exerutives s. speech was HIS de-
nunciation OF the two banking and
currency laws, passed under the di

The governor prophesied that there
would be no difference when tllfs. law
was put In operation. unless it would
be higher rate Of interest and the
practice OF favoritism might also be
expected, the governor added.

boasted Human beings we're the

opinion that these men wouldn't be

any sooner than other men.
Senator Smith today answered tho
