Democratic state con vention which unanimously 3 nominated bewis Stuyvesant Chanler for Governor and the remainder of the state ticket as agreed upon by the leaders All the nominations were unanimous except for state engineer which furnished the only discordant note in the convention State Ticket Nominated The ticket nominated is as follows: Governor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler Duchess Lieutenant Governor John A Dix Wash ington Secretary of State John Whalen Mon roe Attorney General George Palmer Schohariex Controller Martin Glynn Albany State Engineer and Philip arlev Brooklyn Treasdrei' Julius Hauser Suffolk Arriving here shortly after 6 and met by thousands of persons Democ leader was accorded an ovation Along with him from Syracuse came the new Democratic nominee for Governor of New York Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler who was literally lifted from an automo In the street to the car because of the great throng which had assembled to catch a view of Mr Bryan Among those at the station to meet him were National Chairman Normal Mack William Conners chairman of the Democratic state committee Charles Murphy the Tammany chieftain and Daniel Cohalan The principal speech was in Conven tion Hall where the Democratic state convention finished Its labors and which was packed with several thousand on the outside unable to gain admittance Mr Bryan was accorded a great demonstra tion by his audience among whom were the Democratic leaders of the State and most of the delegates to the convention just adjourned "Mr Taft and HI Scares Reverting to his prepared speech upon the topic Mr Taft His Mr Bryan said: Mr Taft confesses that hie arguments are not convincing when he attempts to Intro scares ana to tnreaten tne puoiic witn dlie dUabter if he is not elected A throat is always an admission "'that argument and persuasion have not been effective Measured by this test Mr Taft has already abandoned hope of convincing the public of the right eousnes of his position Let us take up the subjects with which he has beep deal ing On the labor question he 'declares that our demands for a trial by jury In cases of in direct contempt is the most insidious at tack upon the judicial system In tho his tory of the country According to Mr Taft it would very much impair the administra tion of Justice He seems to forget that the very reform which we indorse was Indorsed by the United States Senate twelve years ago and that it was supported by such Re publicans as Senator Sherman of Ohio Sen ator Allison of Iowa Senator Hale of Maine Senator Hawley of Connecticut Senator Mor rill of Vermont and Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota It is not attacking the courts to remove abuses that have grown up under existing methods of procedure His logic If it were sound In cases of In direct contempt would eliminate the jury entirely The criminal Judge does not feel that his dignity Is assailed when the accused is given a trial by jury the common law judge does not feel that It is a reflection on him for a party to a suit to insist upon trial by jury why should it seem such an un lawful thing for Jury trial to be granted lit a vase LIL UKiirecL cvniempr Guarantee of Bank Deposit In discussing the guaranty of bank posits he betrays the same tendency to stitute gloomy forebodings for reason argument He savs: "If the proposals were adopted exactly as the Democratic platform suggests It would biing the whole banking system of the coun try down in i uln What is this direful thing that will de vastate the country if his aspirations for the presidency Is thwarted? It is the pro tection of the depositor who is invited to entrust his savings to the care of banks There are 1500000u depositors in the United States and they are calmly assured that the banking system can only be safe when the depositors are insecure that to secure the depositors would make banking insecure This logic may satisfy the 'big financiers from whom he has drawn his arguments but It will not satisfy the millions whose deposits make banking profitable His theory is that a guarantee fund would invite carelessness but he overlooks the fact that mutual responsibility on the part of the bank would compel a stricter super vision and a better regulation In his anxiety to manufacture a case against the guaranty proposed by the Democrats Mr Taft has made a lu dicrous mistake He has cited the experi ence of New York as an argument against the guaranty system In 1829 a law was passed in the State of New York which provided for the issue of bank notes by state banks and the law provided a fund for the in surance of the circulation The law was loosely drawn and after about twelve years the court held that the guaranty fund covered deposits as well as circulation A panic came on and the guaranty fund was not sufficient and that ought not to be a matter of sur prise A guaranty fund intended to protect note circulation would hardly be sufficient to protect depositors and yet because this fund failed to do a thing that was not In Lriiutiu in Lite ueKiiiiiuiK i that it would be impossible to devise a Cessful guaranty system Oklahoma Plan a Success Tn Oklahoma the plan has been put nnpratlon and It has rpsiiltprt in th regulation of banks that any state has vt attempted and although some seven mo iths have passed the guaranty fund has not been reduced a dollar the only failure was promptly seviieu wiinwui jobs io nnd without inconvenience tn thr and the assets of the bank jvhen col lected It is being would hank Thl would be unfair because the new bank credit would rear upon the guaranty fund eatabllened by the older banks and because It would be unfair It la not permitted In Oklahoma There the banking board fixes the maximum rate of Interest which cun be paid on deposits and 4 per cent on de posits running more than six months This completely answers the most plausible ar gument that has been made against the guaranty system The depositor knows that the ederal Onvernment reoulres security when It de posits In national banks ho knows that the state the county and the city demand se curity when they deposit In banks he knows that the fraternal orders demand security and he Is beginning to ask whybe alone is left unprotected in case of a bank failure and 'the question will be asked with more and more emphasis until he1s answered with sincerity Allow long must we have our country's ftonby sent to Europe to seek safety In the government hanks of tho old world' before our bankers yield to the demands of the penpier now long mum we money order department of tho used an a savings bank before will learn that the depositors security?

Speakers 'if 1 ft Also Make Strong Declara 4 tions tor Reform 4 BY LOUIS LUDLOW SHELBYVILLE Ind Sept Gm I last appeal to the people of 'Indiana for a' county local optiqn law 'pending the extra session of the Lcgis lature was made here today in an lad dress: to the Indiana Conference of tire Metltodist Church It was a stirring iJ capeech and the enthusiasm was intense ministers waved their handkerchiefs clapped their hands and shouted approv 1 Ing and the re ni4i from start to finish were more earnestly commended than by any other that' has heard him since he issifed the call for a special session (' i AI1 of his meetings haxe been enthusi astlc but this one clapped the climax The conference not only gave him a great ovation and applauded all he nad to say A' sbut It went on record formally by adopt Ing the following resolutions: Whereas Ills t' excellency Governor rank Hanly has been asked to address the' members of the Indiana Conference In the 1 cause of temperance and Whereas During bls term of office as Gov a A emor of the State of Indlana he has waged constant and vigorous warfare against traffic with list deadly and degrading Influence and Whereas A special session of the State Legislature' has been called 'to meet this week to which a bill for county local op tion Is to be presented therefore i Resolved That we express our hearty ap predation of' his able address and the trosxV manly and courageous attacks he has made upon the saloon forces In hts recent cam paign throughout the state urther That we him our earnest support in his effort to secure advanced temperance legislation and we do now liere by earnestly petition our State Legislature the approaching extra session to pass a county local option law urther That we earnestly request that no change be made In our present efficient Nicholson and Moore remonstrance laws tor the regulation of the liquor traffic Tonight after the Governor had made last speech before the issue Is put to a test in tla Legislature he said: ant gratified by the manner in which people are responding to the appeal that has been made to them It shows that the heart of the average man is ylght on this question and that he is more if profoundly concerned about county local option than any other question in the campaign "The sentiment will not recede but It'4k will grow and Intensify until the final ac tlon by the General Assembly If the bill Is passed the people will rally to its support and save It from repeal They will welcome the enlarged enfranchise xnent it will bring to The closing day of the tour found him In high spirits but In a physical condition that almost warranted a inp to me nospiiai for repairs His voice especially is worn full of holes ae he expressed It and not until he warmed up to the task in his speech today was he able to make himself heard with clearness Standing Room at Premium The Governor addressedfthe conference ar 2 in the irst Methodist Church All of the seats were and many late comers were unable to find standing room Admiring friends of the Governor sent him a mammoth bunch of chrysan themums which he took with him to Indianapolis after the session was over Tire conference before the arrival had given an Inkling of its attl tude on county local option The Rev Edwards superintendent of the Moores Hill district had drawn the fire of the ministers In his annual report he said the saloon business had been hit harder in his district during the vear than ever before It had been driven out of the towns of Patriot Dillsboro riend s' ship and Holton and had been largely re strlcted In Vevay and Milan while good work had been done in advancing the temperance cause In Aurora Greensburg A and Lawrenceburg Then he said: "If all the men who profess to be op posed to the saloon would vote for county local option we would put the dramshops out of every county In the district with one possible exception" This was a that brought loud applause There were other lightning like flashes of county local option sentiment during the forenoon but the storm did not break loose until the arrived He received a royal welcome and was once more given the Chautauqua salute This form of salutation has been employed so frequently since the Governor started to thrash the bushes for county local op tion votes that It would be almost like sec ond nature to him to expftct every man he meets to pull out handkerchief and wave it The proceedings the conference this afternoon began with prayer by the Rev Virgil Tevis It was a fervent and one might almost say a business like prayer It went straight to the point and called forth many a hearty "amen" Mr Tevis in his prayer thanked Prov idence that never in the history of the world has a great moral issue presented Itself but that the people have voted right Such an Issue he said has been reached In the affairs of the State of Indiana It is a tremendous problem and he prayed God to lead the people arlgjit and added: May the cursed liquor traffic be beaten t6 a finish We pray Thy blessing upon the Governor of the state Thou only knoWest his heart We thank Thee that Thou hast given him the courage of his convictions Uphold his hands We pray Thy1 blessings also upon the Legislature May every man do his duty If there Is right on one side and evil on the other there Is only one thing do When we see a head It Is our duty to crush It We thank God for the support of the ministers and may they fight this evil traffic to a finish Grant thgt ten years from mow th4 children of Indiana may say: what was a Immediately after the prayer the teso lutions Indorsing Governor Hanly and memorializing the Legislature to pass tho county local option bill were offered bv the Rev Albert Hurlstonc of Robot tsv i Park Methodist Church of Indianapolis and were adopted by a standing vote A few Prohibition and Democratic ministers did not vote but the'sentlment yvas prac finally unanimous Next on the program was a song eti titled: Saloon Must by' the Vincennes district quartet composed of I the Rev Hutchens A Schell3 Bennett and Ray Ragsdale The song was written 'by Mr Schell for this occasion Almost every sentence of the song was applauded The Ringers were cheered on by cries of that Tire members of the quartet wore mln laterial frock suits and white ties Tin to fore they had concluded the audience was on its feet joining in the chorus 1 '''to: to Governor Hanly was Introduced by to Bishop David Moore the presiding offi or of the conference Bishop Moore took occasion to deliver a very strong address In favor of count ylocal option Bishop Moore said he was very sorry to "an obscure gentleman by the name of Joseph Cannon Is not here this after noon He would learn I think that the Governor of Indiana is a constitutional lawyer or at least a maker of tho Constitution" toile concluded: ever any great movement of this kind Is on foot and they want to shut up our months and put a
