WILSON'S REELECTION
TO BETTER CONDITIONS
Election of Hughes. II Is Relieved.
would Have Resulted In Banking
System Rcadjustment.

Inc reelection of President Wilson
eliminating the possibility of a read
1ustment of the Federal reserve sys-
tem' viii prove big factor in banking
ana general prosperity. in the opinion
OF George J. Seay, governor of the
Richmond Federal Reserve Bank.
Mr. Seay, yesterday. discussing the
election in connection with the bank
ing business. said the Federal reserve
system, product of the Wilson ad-
mtnistration. will continue operating
as now. and as result business will
expand through the Federal reserve
banks and through member banks.
Mr.. Seay says the banking business
throughout the country Is in gener-
ally prosperous condition, and reflect
ing good business conditions in various
other lines of activity. This prosper
Gus condition Is specially true of the
Southern States. into which much new
capital Is being invested in Industrial
development.
There had been fear that were Mr..
Hughes elected there would be radical
changes In the nations banking busi-
ness. Such changes as the adoption OF
the Aldrich plan proposed some years
ago. in the opinion Of Mr.. seay, would
have caused radical readtustment
and set back business in the c, untry.
With the reelection of Wilson such
danger is obviated and prosperous
conditions are expected to continue to
grow.
