LARGE CROWDS HEAR DEMO
CRATIC LEADER'S LENGTHY
ADDRESS AT TOPEKA.
ANSWERS TAFTS CRITICISM
Bryan Points Out That Choice Was
Between Fo.ial Savirgs Bark and
the Guaranty Bank and Accuses
Taft of Favoring the Former.
TOPEKA, Aug. 27 Before an au
dience which filed the Auditorium to
cverflowing Bryan tonight spoke on
guaranty of bank deposits. Previous
ly he had delivered three others, two
from the Veranda Hotel aniline third
at Garfield Park where he attended a
picnic of the Knights of Pythias,
where he spoke on "Fraternity."
Due to the action of the Kansas
republican state convention which en
dorsed the guaranty of deposits pro
position, Bryan made some remarkable-
supplementary to his prepared
speech on that subject. He took up
the criticism of Taft and others and
asked why the depositors should be
left unsecured when the national gov
ernment demanded security of any
tank with which it deposited its
money. He pointed out that choice
was between the Postal Savings Bank
and the Guaranty Bank and accused
Taft of favoring unnecessary exten
sion of the sphere of government in
advocating the postal savings instead
of the guaranty bank. Bryan declar
ed the guaranty bank proposition
which would allow the banks to at
tend to the banking business and yet
compel them to give depositors neces
sary security. , Bryan said that three
fourths of the bankers of Kansas fa-
-ored the guaranty plan ' and one-J
was opposed; that among the
ors there is no opposition and!
