Corsicana, Tex, Oct. 3O.-(Special)
Lieutenant Governor George II. Jester
today assumed the management of the
states affairs and will preside as the
states chief executive during the alb
sence of Governor Culberson from the
state. Governor Jester said today that
the chief executive will probably be
away from the state about ten days, in
Chicago, where his wife is, if the
weather was not too cold; otherwise, he
stated that Mr.. Culberson would return
home at an earlier day.
The lieutenant governor is conducting
state affairs from afar. He handles the
business which needs attention from this
end of the line, using the lOng-distance
telephone when necessary. He was in
telephone communication with tn,
capitol today and had papers demanding
attention forwarded here. There !

BRYAN AT CLEVELAND,
He Tells the People That Something
is the Matter with Hanna,

Cleveland, o., Oct. 3O.-W. ]. Bryan
arrived in Cleveland at 8 o'clock this
evening to close the campaign for the
democrats. He was at once driven to
the Red Cross rink, on the west SIDE
where he addressed big meeting. He
spoke at two other meetings on the east
side. He was given an enthusiastic re-
ception. His remarks were directed
mainly against Senator Hanna.
He said he had come from Nebraska to
bury Mr.. Hanna. He said Mr.. Hanna
was the exponent of political cowardice.
He said Mr.. Hanna had not told the vot-
.sEs- how he would serve them if elected
what he would do about international
bimetallsm or how he would change the
gold standard from a calamity to bles-
ing. He charged that Mr.. Hanna was at
the head of conspiracy to turn the
country over to the financial control OF
Europe and also that Mr.. Hanna intend
ed to turn the greenbacks over to the ma
tional banks.

Is 600 postmasters this is impossible.
AS a practical result, they are in fact
selected neither by the President nor
the Postmaster General, but in an IN
constitutional mode by Senators, mem
bers Of Congress Or political bosses.
rot SO long since we saw the pres
sure of cmce seekers upon Congress
men used dex5eriously by the EXecu,
tive TO secure the passage by Congress
Of an Act which otherwise could not
have been adopted.
A REVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION
should at least empower Congress Il
aueborizs the election of postmasters
by each locality whenever and TO what
ever extent, it may deem advisable.
Il is idle to soy that we have grown
and ~Drospered under this Constitution.
Il would be as logical 20 say that we
have done 80 in spite Of it. The Con
stitution is not a fetish to be worehippsd
not did it come down from heaven a
perfect work. 1t had to be patched up
ere it was in working order, It's defects
nearly brought US catastrophe Ia 1901,
in 1920 and again in 1875 That which
happened in 1876 We all remember.
Those features OF the Constitution
which time has approved and which
are still euited to our needs will be re-
tanned. Those that are otherwise should
be amended or removed, as has been
the case with our State Constitutions.
The vast power of the President, his
great patronage, giving him power to
make wer, his election by electors, who
are under no legal obligation to voice
the sentiment of their constituents,
these are pregnant with future trouble
So also is the election of u. 8 Senators
by the majority Of a caucus, i e., by
enc fourth Of the email number Of men
in a STATE legislature, whose pomina-
ton and election can be easily manjp
ulated by the money power. But the
greatest danger is in the appointive
and life system Of the judges who
dominate the other two departments.

the course Of q chip Of stateare selected
without any consultation with the
crew and subject to no control by
them. The Constitution is at the mercy
of organized and powerful combina
tions Of money, and it is imperative
that we rescue it from their hands.
In g condensed way, I have discuss, d
the most striking constitutional fla
lures eeding revision, There r
doubtless others. The revision is
needed. Tt will and must come. It is
appropriate that the bar should open
the discussion. After the lapse of 10
years, constitutional revision cannot
be premature. In view Of the dangers
that now face US and the certainty of
greater ones if we delay, it is time that
the matter was receiving careful and
patriotic consideration.
