come to the conclusion that "a victory

stated
I'VE could not pretend to overlook the

From Mr.. Hughes we hoped for an
exhilarating campaign. with far reach.

In an appealing manne and on a high
level.
He has sorely disappointed all WIN

Wilson have been far too sweeping end
without a particle Of generous recogni.
ton. In this respect Mr.. Hughes has
been the Presidents best campaigner.
Meanwhile Mr.. Wilson in his speeches
shone by contrast.
He has known how to he dlgnifed
while forcible. And the increasing en-
phasis which tho whole drift of the cam-
paign has placed upon the President

The present high rate Is caused. the ex-

BANKERS HOPE FOR MODIFICATION
OF 1NTERLOCKING DIRECTORS Ac1
Recommendation Has Been Made to Reserve Boa,5
Philadelphia Market Quiet Affair With Slightly
Saggng Tendency-Cambria Steel Rumors

Bankers in this city and throughout
the country generally are hoping that
the interlocking directorate clause OF the
Clayton act, which becomes effective on
october 10 next, will be modified AS II
stands in It's present form bankers de-
clare that Il operates against their inter
ests as we'll as those of the general busi-
ness public and that It Is discriminatory.
Looking toward the modification OF the
act, one step has already been taken.
The advisory council of the Federal Re-
serve Board has recommended that the
act be so changed as to allow man TO
be n director in two institutions, ma
tional bank and trust company or State
bank. The Federal Reserve Board, In
turn, may make this recommendation to
Congress, but bankers are doubtful II
anything can be done at this term OF
Congress, inasmuch as It is presidential
year. and many other things are ON the
books which must be cleaned up.
The opinion seems to be unanimous
that the act as IL now stands will do
more to hurt the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN, which still may be considered to be
I'm its infancy, than to benefit It, This
is explained as follows: The law does
not affect the State Institutions, s they
operate under a charter granted them
by the State, but the national banks are
under the supervision Of the Federal
Government. Not being allowed to haye
an interocking board, It is pointed out
that the State institutions will not join
the Federal Reserve system, as they
would then come under the Jurisdiction of
the Federal authorities. 1t may go so far
that many national banks which are now
in the system may withdraw and take
out a State charter
1t is figured by bankers that the law
Is discriminatory because II eliminates
institutions (which have deposits, capi-
tal surplus and undivided profits less
than s5,0O0, Co.," and located in cities of
less than 100000 population. Therefore,
many national banks are not affected,
whereas the large banks, where able
