The general opinion of the public for some time has been that “Nick” Loagworth vae a d—fooT, and his break about daddy-in-law Roosevelt's intention to resume the throne again in 1916, after the heir apparent Taft’s rule of eight years, the republican national committee has also reached the same

conclusion and pulled him off the stump. And daddy-in-law was mighty wroth at Nick for giving away the proposed perpetuation of the Roosevelt dynasty, too. Notwithstanding Long worth’s denial that he made the statement, two newspaper reporters—one republican and one democrat —have made affidavits that he did make such statement, and these were published In yesterday’s Inter-Ocean of Chicago, a republican paper. Their short-hand notes oT the meeting show the language was used.

Four small banks in New York City went “republican” last week. These were private banks and were patronized by the poor class of people, hence the misery that follows Is necessarily greater than the failure of more pretentious institutions of a class of people better able to stand the loss. Reports of the closing of these banks says "throngs of excited people gathered In front of the buildings shrieking threats and hurling epithets.” “No, we don’t want any system of guaranty of bank deposits, say the republicans; it would be a disastrous policy.” It would prove disastrous, no doubt to the dishonest banker but a mighty good thing for bank depositors.

Judge Darroch passed a few' hours in Rensselaer Saturday as he was returning from a campaigning tour in the south end of the district. He has received much encouragement since he went on the hunt of the office of congressman for the tenth Indiana congressional district. There is a very pronounced disposition on the part of the voters this year to place the blame for their multifold troubles on the party in power. They reason this way: If the democrats were responsible for the panic when they were in partial possession of the offices, why

are not the republicans responsible for the present panic, and the high prices of the things they must have when they are in possession of all the offices and have been for twelve, years? Many a poor working man has been turning over this proposition in his mind as he carried on his work and he has concluded that it is just possible that he has been deceived by those who have been telling him that he had never been paid such high wages and was never so prosperous in his life before. He may be very prosperous but it is hard to figure it out, and that accounts for the serious expression worn on the face of so many workingmen this year.

J. Frank Hanly was down in Jackson county Saturday telling the people of the good things he had done for the state of Indiana. Among other things, W. H. Blodgett in the Indianapolis News, reports him as saying: “The Governor told of his efforts to get a law regulating private banks and incidentally referred to the McCoy bank failure as one of the reasons he fought so hard to have such a law passed. He declared that since the banking law' had passed there had been no failures of private banks.’’ Indeed! The slight unpleasantness caused by Bob Parker closing his bank at Remington on the tilth of December, 1907, 19 dayß after the law Hanly worked so hard to have passed and six months after it was passed, went into force, and more than two years after the act of 1905 was a law—i-for w'hich he presumably

worked hard also—is not counted as a bank failure. The closing or the Baldwin and Dague banks at Goodland,- Fowler and Ambla, the day before by' the state examiner because they were utterly gutted by the proprietors are not to be called private bank failures, but just a slight “stringency” for which' nobody in particular was responsible, except that the prospect of a democratic victory was anticipated by these republican bankers! What excuse can J. Frank Hanly offer for telling such stuff as* this, stuff that he knows and everybody else knows is not true. What is to be gained by such reckless talk. The probabilities are that Bob Parker thinks there was a private bank failure, and the victims of this crash harbor the same delusion, and all this talk of J. Frank Hanly will not dispel this notion with any of them either.
