Leader Says Democrats Do Hot Offer
Them Encouragement.
Associated Press Report.')
NKW YORK August K. John Spargo.
the socialist leader and author has sent
to William J. ilryan a long I tter. In
wl ich lie answers t he a'ppeal made by
the latter at Indianapolis for the social-
ist vote. Mr Spargo in a member of the
National committee of the socialist
party and was chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions n the National con-
vention of.the socialists. He presided at
the State convention of the socialist party
here In July.
In his letter he says It was a bold bid
for social li support which the demo-
cratic presidential candidate made in his
Indianapolis spe. eh. and he calls it a
pathetic and futile appeal. He argues
that the claim is insincere that the dem-
ocratic party Is seeking a remedy for
known abuses declaring that "these
known abwaes ' ar e nowhere so flagrant
as In the South which Is almost wholly
democratic. Mr Spargo also asserts that
conditions in the South with peonage and
other evils rampant through the alleged
toleration of democratic officeholders are
not an indication of any sincere desire
on the part of the democratic party for
the people to rule
In addition be tells Mr. Hryan that
"democratic Judges have been Just as
ready to serve Injunctions and democratic
employers to seek them as republican!"
and he a-"ues thut the labor plank In
the democratic platform of 1816 was far
metre progressive than In the present
platform.
There is no place in the democratic
party" concludes the letter "for men
who are looking and hoping for better
nnd Juster social conditions."
TAFT SAYS RECKLESS BANKING
Explains His Objection to Guarantee
Deposit Plan.
f Assot tirVj Press Report. )
HOT SFftlNCiS. Va August 2S "It
puts a premium on reckless banking."
Thus did Mr. Taft this afternoon in
response to a direct question state what
Is. In his opinion the vital objection to
the proposed plan to guarantee deposits
In National banks.
"That Is the f jndamentai objections"
be sa'd "Relieved of the responsibility
to and the fear of his depositors the ten-
dency would be to induce exploit&tnon
manipulation and the use of assets of
banking In a speculative way. It would
promote speculation at t he expense of
bin fellow bankers and that ultimately
means at the experme of the depositors.
Any proposition as to the amount of the
'ax that should b assessed as based upon
the present rate of loss is on an erro-
neous basis as the danger of loss TT de-
posit In increased vastly bv the proposed
system so that tie percentage of the tax
would have to be vastly Increased."
There was some discussion here today
of the position alleged to have been taken
by Henator Hopkins of Illinois that the
policies of a political candidate so far as
they are not contained In the party plat-
form are not binding on the parly. Judge
Taft declined to mate in matter
a con-
t roversal one.
