that the big central bank in New
York and its chain of subsidiary
banks throughout the nation would
again be placed under the control of
the interests.
Mr.. Bryan devoted some time to
the Rural Credits bill and showed
what a benefit it would prove to the
farming sections. On the Mexican
situation and the position the admin
istration had taken en- the European
war MIR. Bryan said President Will
son had followed the wisest course
and by refusing to intervene in Mex
leo thousands and thousands of lives
had been saved to the country, and
that by refusing to be dragged into
the European i%mbroglio the United
States, the greatest Of the neutrals,
was in position to serve as peace
maker at the conclusion of that aw-
jul conflict.
On suffrage Mr.. Bryan spoke OF the
advance that that had made in public
opinion and noted the fact that this
year was the first time in the history
of the movement that it had been en-
dorsed in the platforms of all parties,
and propllcsied that from now on
few politicians would be found to OPP
pose it. He compared the placing OF
the woman's suffrage plank in the
Democratic and Republican platforms
and said that while both favored the
extension OF suffrage to women the
former recommended the extension
of franchise to the women Of this
country, state by state, on the same
terms as men. while the latter fay
ors the extension OF suffrage to
women, but recognizes the right OF
each state to settle the matter for it
self"
He dcplored the action Of the
Woman's party i'll making the adop-
ton of the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment a party issue and said that not
now nor in many years to come could
any party promise the enactment OF
such an amendment. as it must pass
congress by a two-thirds vote and
then be ratified by the vote OF the leg
lislaturcs Of three-fourths Of the
states. The majority Of women sui
fragists, as shown by the action tax
en- recently at the suffrage conven-
; ton held in Atlantis City, where
women of all political beliefs were
assembled, voting overwhelmingly &c
steer clear as an association OF party
affiliations in the suffrage fight now
e being waged.
When the suffrage question was
voted on in New Jersey Presiden,
Wilson cast his vote for suffrage
when the same question came before
, the New York electorate Mr.. Hughes
neither registered nor voted Before
the national conventions Mr.. Hughes
did nothing towards the insertion o
a suffrage plank in the Republican
platform, stating that he could no
make suggestions as he had not We
been nominated. and the plank as ii
stands was inserted by men wht
/ have never desired woman's suffrage
I and do not yet desire it; while Presi
lent Wilson asked that a sutfraS,
plank be inserted in his party's plat
, form. and it was fought for and III
serted by men who have the cause!
interest at heart. No party is bount
by the utterances Of its presidential
candidate, but it is in honor bounC
by the utterances of its platform.
Mr.. Bryan took up the Child Labor
law recently passed by congress ano
the Eight-liour measure and pre-
scented them in his logical way. O
T. the latter he stated that Presiden'
G Wilson, by disposing Of the matter
G as he did, placed it in such name:
/ that it could now be adjudicated by
the courts, where, if it were disposed
c of by Mr.. Hughes as indicated in hi
h criticism Of Mr.. Wilson it would b,
settled in the interests Of the rail
roads and the employees would have
no recourse whatsoever.
