Says Democratic Members of Confer

Lincoln, Neb.-William J. Bryan on
Tuesday addressed a letter 10 President
Taft, asking him to allow the people TO
vote on popular election OF senators.
Mr.. Bryan says;
President Taft-Now that the States
are going TO vote on the ratification OF
the amendment specifically authorizing
an income tax, why not give them a
chance TO vote ON an amendment pro-
viding for the election Of United States
senators by popular vote! In your
speech of acceptance you said that you
were personally inclined to favor such
change in the constitution. Would
this not be an opPortune time to present
the subject to Congress-
Two constitutional amendments, one
authorizing income tax and the other
providing for the popular election Of sen
ators, would make your administration
memorable, and | pledge you whatever
assistance | can render in securing the
ratification of these amendments. With
great respect | am. yours truly,

A man. goes in and sits down at a

makes out his order on a slip, and
before he is waited on the waiter goes
to the cashier and has little private

at the customer and II he appears to
be good for the bill he is served. 9th.
erwise he is asked to pay in advance.
