The Bank Commissioners
Attack on Senator Page.
(Rutland NeWs)

Bank Commissioner Frank c. Williams
who made an attack on Senator Page II
Rutland newspaper yesterday, is left In
an uncomfortable position by the vigor-
GUS reply of the senator which is publish
ed today. 1t makes one wonder what is
back of Mr.. Williams move. The bank
commissioner implies that things have
been wrong with the Hyde Park bank.
If that's so why hasn't thecommssion-
reported it before2 He had no right to
keep it secret. 1t looks suspicious to
| have such "broadside come out in the
heat of a political campaign. Commits
sioner Williams is careful to say that the
bank is sound and that the interest of the
depositors have at all times been taken
care of. Why then this onslaught on
the Senator?
After the custom of the day, it is per-
tinent to ask Commissioner Williams a
few questions:
1. Is it true that your law partner is
in the service of Allen NJ Fletcher in his
senatorial campaign?
2. You state that you chopped that
Senator Page would frankly state the
facts with relation to all matters referred
to-" Have you ever expressed to SEN
ator Page such hope, or have you ever
intimated to him in any way that pub.
lie statement of facts from him would be
proper or desirable from the point of view
of the banking department?
8. Were you not in Hyde Park August
9 where you could easily have communi-
Gated with Senator Page, and did you
no fro,
intention to publish the statement, which
appeared the next day? Did you in any
way intimate to him at that time that
you were going to take any such step as
you did?
a You say that the "people of the
state should have confidence in theinteg-
rity and independence of the bank com
missioner" Do you think that such
statement made by the partner of one
who is actively working in the interest
of another senatorial candidate will tend
to strengthen confidence in the integrity
and independence of the bank commits
sioner?
5. You state: 81 found that the Lam
ollie Comfy Savings Bank and Trust
Company had been investing in real es-.
tate mortgages outside Vermont for sew
eral years, the amount at that time
being something over one-quarter of
million of dollars and was advertising
under the slogan "All in Vermont" Sen.
ator Page fatty denies this. Where is
your proof
6. Is the date line on your article |
Newport, Vt, false? Wasyour article,
in fact, composed or edited and delivered |
to newspaper here in Rutland?

Will Be a Boomerang

The attempt of the "Allen M. Fletcher
Club of Mortified" to befog the political
situation with hall dozen columns OF
advertising matter is apparent to every
one. Gov. Fletcher must lead the people
cf Vermont away from the real issue,
which is, Should the people of Vermont
retire an experienced, faithful, trusted
public servant and replace him by an ex-
pertinent who never would have been
thought of but for his immense wealth.
No challenge has yet been made to
Senator Page touching his official record
that he has not fully and fairly answered
in dignifed and candid way. Governor
Fletcher will learn before this fight is
over that the people of Vermont honor
her officials in high position and will re.
sent his wholesale efforts to besmirch the
character of any one of them. he Will
find that his efforts to injure the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and its president
will prove a veritabe boomerang. Mr..
Fletcher's methods will not 60 down in
Vermont. Vermonters believe in fair
play.
More than this, Vermont has had one
campaign in which the state was de-
bauched by the use of money to such an
extent as to be disgrace to the state.
Mr.. Fletcher is apparently inaugurating
another campaign of the same kind. His
henchmen are travelling through the
state Boosting that Gov. Fletcher has
made 100000, in Wall street in the
last two years and that he is willing to
spend any part thereof that is necessary
to procure his election to the United
States Senate. When the time comes
that no citizen can represent the state IN
that body unless he is the possessor of
millions of wealth good, men may well
hang their heads in shame.

Mr.. Williams Statement.
(St. Adams Messenger.

(St. Adams Messenger.
The statement relative to certain
methods employed in Senator Pages
bank at Hyde Park, made by State Bank
Commissioner Frank @. Williams, of
Newport, can be considered as nothing
other than campaign document. 1t
alleges violations of state banking laws
which have been spread over period of
years but which were not made public
until the heat of a senatorial campaign
had been reached. 1t took politics to
open the commissioner mouth; it is
only natural that newspapers and in
dividuals look upon the utterance as
. campaign material. If the statement of
the commissioner is not political docu-
ment. and if the offences were as serious
as Fletcher organs have protested to be-
1ieve them to be, Mr. Williams, as
conscientious public official, could not
have remained silent for so many years.
The one question that this onslaught
against Senator Page naturally prompts
to the inquiring mind is this, "Did the
ofense of the bank of which the Sena-
tor is president consist in doing the
things which Mr.. Williams now chroni
Giles, or did the offence consist in their
becoming known? Surely it looks as if
the offences, which were not of such a
nature as to affect the soundness of the
bank, for Commissioner Williams de-
clares that "the interests of the depos-
itors have been taken care of; to repeat,
it looks as if the prime offense was that
it had become more or less public prop
erty, mostly less, that certain practices
had been employed.
The average individual will reach one
of two conclusions when weighing up
all the facts In the case. Either he will
say to himself that his attack on Senator
Page is tempest in teapot, something
which perhaps has to be expected in
political campaign of the complexion of
the present one, but which really amounts
to nothing, or else he will conclude that
the bank commissioner has been serious
ly remiss in his duties by being a party
to concealing practices in banking
which should not have been tolerated
and of which the public should have
been fully and promptly informed.
Thus tits that the bank commissioner
finds himself in strange and embarrass-
ing situation. If his article on Senator
Pages bank serves the purpose of dis
crediting Senator Page, by the same
token il serves to discredit the bank COM
missioner himself, for the public's judg-
ment under such a condition will be that
he has been remiss in that he has
concealed these things in the years
gone by. If on the other hand.
Senator Page is not discredited, as it is
safe to say he will not be, the bank COM
missioner is also left in an embarrassing
position, for it will naturally be wonder
ed whether he has loaned himself as a
tool to Fletcher agents.
