| abstract | - Although not as outspoken on race as predecessor Simmons was, Glass supported the Voting Eligibility Act and as a Representative from Virginia, he was the only Virginian congressman not to vote in favor of the Eighth Amendment. A strong supporter of fiscal conservatism, as President he is perhaps best remembered for working with Congress to strike a compromise on the issue of bank reform which led to the National Reserve Act of 1913. Later on, after being selected as Secretary of the Treasury under President Robinson, Glass would modernize the system further, as a result, he became popularly known as the "Father of the National Reserve" Despite the popularity of both Glass and predecessor Furnifold Simmons, Glass was unable to keep his party united following the sudden death of incumbent Vice President James P. Clarke in October of 1915 and the chaos that ensued, within the party, would cost the Democrats in the 1915 presidential election. Aside from his regrettably intolerant racial views, considering the times, this is considered by many to be perhaps one of only a very few failures of the Glass administration.
