To the Democrats OF Texas; In view
of the repeated charges made by the
gold standard press and the so called
Sound money" element. that the posi-
tion OF the bi-metalllsts In Texas who
claim to stand on the financial plank
OF the national Democratic platform,
is inconsistent, insincere and unten-
able. and In as much as this so called
sound money" element. led by Judge
Hardy. as chairman. claim TO be the
only Democrats who consistently can
claim to be in harmony with this plat
form; 1t is well that at the very begin
ming of this campaign the written posi-
tion OF these two elements be exam
ined. so that we may clearly determine
who does stand on the national plat
form on the money question. and who
does not.

to show. that the so called Sound

the deadly parallel" and let the read
er compare the language OF the finan-
cial plank OF the national platform
with the resolutions OF the sound money
