BRYAN'S BANK IDEA
SCORED BY MEYER
Postmaster General Declares
Nebraskan's Panic Panacea
Would Foster Dishonesty
"Step Toward Socialism" De
nounced as Likely to In
crease Wildcat Schemes .
... .. r _. \u0084. ( -
HOT SPRINGS, Va., Aug. 23.—Post
master General Meyer, who is - here
conferring with Judge Taft, today ex
pressed himself in an interview on the
general political situation and on the
democratic proposition of guaranteeing
national bank deposits, declaring the
latter to be, "one step farther toward
socialism." 1
"There are," he said, "thousands of
voters in eVery state who do not get
out to the polls unless they feel there
is a real necessity for them to vote.
Therefore, if -Interest is not sufficiently
aroused and the importance of this
coming election fully appreciated, sev
eral states tnay be lost by default.
"In the present campaign the demo
cratic candidate is, bringing forward
a short cut and plausible -; panacea
against panics, the guaranteeing of
deposits in national banks. At first
eight this wo\ild appear to be a sort
of insurance. Insurance, however, is a
contract whereby one party voluntarily
pays to another party a fixed sum for
indemnity against loss and not to ex
ceed an agreed amount. The guaran
teeing proposition compels by law the
banks to pay unknown sums for future
losses and to an unknown amount and
subject to unknown risks, over which
thej- have no control.
OPEXIXG FOR DISHONEST Y
"The democratic platform pledges
the party to compulsory guaranteeing
of deposits for all national banks_.wlth
its provisions available . for all state
financial Institutions desiring to use
them. ' • . /
"This guaranteeing of deposits by
all national banks would mean noth
ing less than that the conservative and
honestly managed banks would have
to pay the debts of banks which have
been badly and dishonestly managed.
Under this system there Would be
nothing to prevent a not over scrupu
lous banking officer in the competition
of obtaining deposits from going to
parties and offering them 6 per cent
for their deposits, claiming that they
had no risks, as deposits are guar
anteed. The bank in turn would have
to make investments which would in
volve great risks in order to make
IX JUSTICE TO BAXKS . '.
"If Bucccssful, this would tend to
increase speculation, which is one .of
the misfortunes of the present day,
with the wildcat schemes and high
finance that have been so much in evi
dence within the last year.
"The proposed system would result
in revolutionizing the methods of
banks, and state banks and trust com
panies would be forced to enter, under
the same arrangements in order to
have their deposits guaranteed, which
wouid be an injustice to the, national
banks, as the stock holders in the na
tional banks are subject to double lia
bility for deposits, which Is not true,
of state banks.
"The deposits •In sayings \u25a0 banks
throughout -the country' amount "to
about three and a half billions. What
more Injustice can be imagined than
these deposits, which are made by
wage earners and individuals of very
moderate means, should be taxed in
order to pay for the losses of misman
aged banks?
FOR POSTAX SAVIXGS BAMvS
"In New England and New York
there are no stock holders in the sav
ings banks. All the money earned is
paid to the depositors. Therefore It
would result in a direct tax on the de
.positors and would decrease the returns
coming to them.
"As Mr. Taft has said in his speech
of acceptance, 'the republican party
prefers the postaj savings banks as a
method tried, cafe* and, known to be
.effective, and as reaching many more
people now -without banking facilities
than the new system proposed.'
"In the postal savings bank the de
posits are guaranteed by the 'govern -
»ent. because the government has re
ceived the deposits and made itself re
sponsible. They are led back Into the
channels of trade by depositing them
In the national banks in the districts
where they have been brought to the
postoface.
"The system of guaranteeing deposits
In national banks as proposed by the
democratic party is one step farther
toward socialism." er

BRYAN REALIZES
HIS HARD TASK
Declares, However, He Never
; Entered Fight With More
v ' Hope of Victory ;i
Democratic Candidate Plans
Speaking Campaign in East
and Middle West
CHICAGO, Aug. 23— Now that William
J, Bryan has set his seal of approval
upon the plans made by the democratic
national committee to work for his
election, the democratic campaign may
be said to be in that period of transi
tion in which practical organization is
completed and the skirmish fire of thp
battle has begun.
There will be "a meeting of the na
tional- committee and subcommittees
and Bryan September 8 to consider
where the line. of action taken is prov
ing effective.
To the national committeemen and
friends who spoke to Bryan of the
hard struggle that Chairman Mack and
the campaign managers had outlined,
he -replied: - .
"I~ realize. tho^ task,ahead of mo and
what it means. I am' not minimizing
the demands that I know will be made
upon me, but I feel that I can do what
is expected of me, for my health is?
fine, and I never entered a fight with
more hope of victory. It Is the peo
ple's fight, and to battle for them gives
added courage and strength in the try
ing hoars of a campaign."
Political developments in tho last 24
hours since Bryan's arrival here show
that the managers of the democratic
campaign have put the fight into the
hands of Bryan and the people. Bryan
has already made two speeches —^his
address of notification and tho tariff
speech at Dcs Moines — and .this .week
will find him making, several speeches
in the middle west, where Chairman
Mack has decided . to make the main
fight of the campaign.
New York isto be Invaded, and in all
possibility New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and "West Virginia, and in
these states, as well as in Indiana, Ill
inois, and Ohio, the democratic candi
date will make his principal struggle
for victory. After Bryan has chosen
each of the several planks of the party
platform as the theme of an extended
speech he will, in speeches to be made
later in the campaign, elucidate upon
these various subjects in greater detail.

MAGOON READY TO
SEE CUBANS RULE
Provisional Governor Tells Taft
People Are Qualified for
>Sejf 'Government
Vote on Proposed Law for Tele»
phone Lines Favors Gov
ernment Ownership
HOT SPRINGS, ;Va., Augi 23^— Charles
E. Magoon, provisional:; governor.; -of
,Cuba,\talked today with Judge Taft
regarding conditions in Cuba. -
That the people of Cuba are qualified
for self-government is the positive as
sertion of Governor j Magoon. He said
the complicated J law which has Just
been put * Into practical /operation in
the island was a rigid v but successful
tests of Cuban intelligence."- He indi
cated that the! Cuban : people were
heartily in favor of government own
ership of public utilities. They, now
own the telegraph lines, and the test
of tho popular iAvill recently madeon
the question of private concessions for
telephone lines, he believes, demon
strated their desire for government
ownership.'
T,he test referred to was made at
the suggestion of President Roosevelt
and consisted in the submission to the
82 -provinces of tho draft of a law
which, if approved and enacted, would
have resulted,, according to Governor
Magoon, in the telephone business 'of
the island going into the hands of the
present Havana • telephone company.
The concession of this company expires
in 1910, whereupon the telephone lines
and plant of the company in that city
wilL revert to the Cuban government.
Governor Magoon left tonight for
Oyster Bay, where he will see the presi
dent on Tuesday.
Hayes and Rose Given
Big Ovation
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.— More than
20,000 persons cheered themselves
hoarse when \u25a0 little Johnny Hayes of
the Irish-American athletic, club, who
recently captured the \ Olympic Mara
thon race in London, gave a half mile
exhibition run this afternoon at the
eccentric firemen's games at- Celtic
park. -
Never in the history of the paTk was
such a crowd gathered within its gates
and seldom was such an ovation ac
corded an athlete. Every inch of room
in the stands was filled and thousands
were unable to see more than the
heads and shoulders of those In front
of them, but despite this they yelled
as vociferously as the more fortunate
ones in the stands and on the rail.
Previous to his run the hero of the
Olympiad was carried around the park
on the shoulders of a dozen of his
clubmates, led and followed by bands
which played the national anthem.
Another Olympian winner who was
honored was Ralph Rose, the California
shot putter, who heaved' the 12 ipound
iron ball the unprecedented distance of
56 feet 2 inches, beating his own world
mark by three Inches. ,: . * r y

AUTO EVENTS ARE
WATCHED CLOSELY
Eastern Enthusiasts Keep Track
of Motor Car Doings in
* California
R. R. l'Hommedieu
There is a very serious question that
the automobilists of ISan Francisco
should, consider. The action on the part
of the members of the automobile club
of California and the automobile deal
ers' association of California in falling
to take part Jn .programed events
and allowing them to be postponed in
definitely for the lack: of entries,^ is
likely to : revert with an annoying
feet to the automobilists. The $ auto T
mobile magazines , and press in gen
eral of the east' have been' consistent
in giving ". publicity tto the ' automobile
doings of California, especially around
San Francisco. ':'.; After ' giving,
time to time, space" to r the -postponed
events, .they , have been" forced Utter to
publish the * fact ? that the ' local : organ
izations -were unable to"*-' ; hold : these
events. There may: come a time' "when
the local organizations •will desire ,to
hold a big , road . race, or .endurance
contest, and it may \u25a0be desired' to have
the! big racing; cars and drivers of, the
east participate. If ! San Francisco/ has
the reputation of not being able to pull
off its -programed': events it .wiUjbe
seen that very little" attention, -will , be
given when it is most needed. Conces
sions may be desired from j the national
body, and if local organizations are
unable to do things and make good
very, little attention is likely to be paid
to requests that", come from San \ Fran
cisco.*;. The dealers' , association has an
event; programed"? for ' holidays
from: September s5 to. 9,* and It is up to
that organizati6n to do something at
that time-to uphold the reputation i of
San I Francisco ;: before the \ eyes of the
