In confirming the endorsement of its
committee Council will assume no re-

ton. II will. however. assume a grave
responsibility if il refuses 10 allow An

A FALSE CLAIM

Every Democratic speaker. so far.
has made il plain that in the coming
campaign the party will feature the
Federal Reserve banking act as a
piece Of legislation that saved The
country from financial distress. II not
panic. BY parading this one act of a
Democratic Congress the party leaders
hope 10 take away the attention of the
voters from other measures which
were enacted into law. and which
were destructive OF the prosperity of
the country and the contentment OF
the people. But the Democratic spell
binders viii not be allowed TO deceive
the people. for the Republicans had a
large part in the perfection OF the re-
serve act. In fact. most OF the merit
orious features of the law were forced
into IL by he activity Of the RepuoIi-
'cans in Congress.
The Intelligence has called atten-
ton before TO the fact that about all
that is really good IN the law was
based upon the report of the Aldrich
Monetary Commission. which was the
creation Of a Republican Congress.
The struggle al Washington over the
enactment Of the Federal reserve law
was TO prevent the introduction into IL
OF Bryanesque financial heresies, and
u was only with the utmost difficulty
that this was accomplished. As the
bill first made its appearance IN Con.
gress 1t would have been a banking
tragedy IL 90 had been made law. But
ia this form IL received the unquali-
