Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 11.
The state supreme court today up
held the bank deposit guaranty law,
which has been made an issue in the
national campaign by Bryan.
This state adopted the first law of
the kind ever put into operation and
efforts were made to have It declared
unconstitutional. .
The main difficulty arose when
Attorney-General Bonaparte decided
that national banks could not avail
themselves of the law. This made
it hard for the national banks to bid
against the state banks for deposits.
The system has proved a wonder
ful success from the point of view
of the - banks operating uadef ' the
guaranty. Deposits have . piled up
and it was the drawing of funds
from Kansas that forced the Repub
lican convention of that' state to in
dorse the guaranty law. In defiance
of the national attitude of the party.
; The opinion declaring the depositors'
guarantee law, constitutional waa fully
