MT. Bryan had been held back by the crowd. Other members of the Presidents party got in the second and third autOrn obiles.

WILLIAMS DEFIES
 MONEY INTERESTS
Says He Has Been Held Up As
 Ogre by Bankers
EXPLAINS NEW RESERVE LAW
Tells Farmers National Congress Agricu1tuI'ists Are Liberated From High Interest Shackles Through Legislation of Democratic Congress.

Indianapolis, Oct. 20.-John Skel- ton Williams, comptroller of the cur rency, speaking here today before the Farmers' National congress, de- scr1bed the relation of the federal re- serve law to the farmer and closed With personal statement brought out ty President Wilson's recent allusion to attacks on the comptroller.
 l see that our president in an ad- dress at Shadow Lawn, said the comp trolier, tells the country that the bankers, or certain bankers, or some special interests, are after my official scalp because I, as the comptroller of the currency, have enforced the law This IS no surprise to me.
 "I know that I have been held up as kind of ogre, a rev head and bloody bones, terror to the banking and financial interests of the country May be the best answer to that may be found in the records and indis- putable facts, that the national banks of the country today are stronger and in better condition than ever before; that they are more numerous than when I became comptroller, are more prosperous and show a smaller pro- portion of failures and losses than was ever known in their history: and my office is receiving a steady stream of applications for charters for new na- tional banks and for permission to in crease the capital of the existing banks.
 My official scalp is not espoc'6''v dear to me. My business is to ad- minister the law and the law is justice put into words.'
 Thwarting Cupidity.
 MT Williams said the new federal reserve law, will forbid the graspine from using for their own advantage the necessities of their neigh bOrs," and that it puts the farmer on the same plane as the business man.
 "The farmer he said, 'is enabled to borrow according to his industry and commercial standing. because his hanks know how and where to get the money It will not be possible to have the money supply locked in the great centers for speculation or gambling purposes, while the real producers and legitimate productive commerce are pinched or denied.'
 Cries of "back to the farm" he said, were futile without promise of comfort and happiness and prospect.
 'But money, or opportunity to earn ft," he said, Ion the farms and the people will go to them fast enough and stay with them. This is precisely what the federal reserve system Is doing in large measure, and we hope the rural credits system will do in even larger measure.'
 God Almighty alone," he said, ''knows how many strong men have 1oo ct rCfh nd by unfair interest rates, how many promising boys and girls deprived of opportunity and driven to worthless ness and crime by the same direfu1, ireXcrable power"
 ''This is the first time since the be- ginning of the national banking system half a century ago. Comptrol- Ter Williams said, that the farmer has been able to borrow on the se- curity of his farm from any national bank"
