Guarantee of bank deposits and political stakes in 1908
The piece explains a proposed bank guaranty fund funded by a tax on national and state banks and recounts a Oklahoma case where the Guaranteed Bank failed but depositors were paid in full from the guaranty fund. It links the issue to 1908 election dynamics in Stevens County and attacks on republican papers while endorsing Bryan and Goodyear.
