 Through. his leadership, the made quate currency measure known as the Aldrich Law, was amended by a Democratic Congress to prevent what would have been the greatest panic this country has ever known.
 ."In my judgment, the Federal Re- serve Act is one of the greatest and most beneficial pieces of legislation ever placed upon the statutes. It has served to advance the business of this country and has done more to bring prosperity te the whole people than all other things combined" N

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Willard E. Hotchkiss, Dean of the Northwestern University School of Commerce, a lifelong Republican, who was super visor of the Census in the Chicago District under President Taft, in a public statement says:

 q was raised in New York and have always been interested in New York politics. When I was still a student at Cornell, I began to de- yelop Hughes enthusiasm, I followed Hughes career before he was gover- nor and while he was governor with great admiration.
 "When it comes to legislation, the case is clear. No one but a great leader could have put through Con gress such an array of wise, construc- tive measures-and some of them were long, overdue when Wilson be- came President I know of no finer evidence of Nstatesmanship than the way in which the Democratic Con- gress under Wilson's leadership ac- cepted the results of the careful study of the Aldrich commits sion, and enacted a law which em- bodied the correct monetary prin- ciples contained in the Aldrich re- port.
 .,'T did not believe that the Demo- cratic party in 1912. was thinking in National terms. But now we have the evidence: whatever its history, whatever it may do in the future, however much it may employ Jeffer- sonianf phraseology-here and now, under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic party is the party which at least has borne the fruits of National policy, a policy for advancing the welfare of all the peo- pie"
