Dear Sir: In cordial compliance with
you request I send this open letter "for

eraUon of my-well-known opinion on the
nropassd amendment to aseuon a- article

It Is hard for me to bellava.that th
people of Texas oould fall to aot 'rightly
In the long-deferred opportunity offered
to them next Tuesday to correct such an
out-of-date - constitutional provision ' a
the article that now prohibits school dis-
tricts from taxing mors ' than one-fifth

tenance of publio schools aa the - only
Question- (not In vol vlna bonded debt) that
a majority to not permitted to decide.
section article i as n now stanas is

maker of Tex thought tt esroedlent to
enact a statute declaring that a publio
school might be taught longer than six

example f th character of a recent re-
vision of the school laws for re-enactment

perfluity waa promulgated again' In - th

Thl bit ot- nonsense I waa 'praatloally
harmless fnnlses- it- should b construed
mm prohibiting mora than six month of
school In districts that do not levy a
tax): but how can on believe that the
people of Texas would go to th poll
in the Twentieth century and in a simi-
larly primitive vein declare in a deliber-
ate Issue that a majority -of two to on
shall be required to levy a tax for main-
taining publio school and that the po-
pis of a school dletriot shall not be per-
mitted to tax 'their own property for all
purposes mor than 31 cant on liOBT Th
limit proposed In the amendment I very
low. - To refuse to allow a school district
to vote a tax of over- one-fifth ef 1 per
cent ifJfce peopl 'of the district desire
to do koAwould be no less than shameful
to th State' of Texas. ... - -
am opposed to. oompelUng people to
de thing.- better toft to their own free

la that th shackles lmposad by the never-
needed and now - xodingiy miproper
provisions of . sectloa a article 7 . be

There may be good reasons for opposing

had bean given her during th trip
through Indiana on Saturday war taken

Chicago Mr. Bryan said: - -
"I do not car to make any list of .
States In estimating -ths result of the
election for while I think the result of
the election Is -mor certain In some
States than In others. I would not want
to discourage democrats In the lea osr-
tain Statesby making sUscrlmlnatlona. I
believe we will have votes to spare In
tb electoral college and a gonsiderabl
majority of the popular vote"
Speaking -of his delay to reanhlng CbV
