After the presidential election of 1912, Congressman  Carter Glass and Robert Broney Owen the senator drafted a bill for the establishment of central banking that called for private dominance of the banking system. The bill also received support from the progressives such as William Jennings Bryan who favored the control of government over the banking system.
