BRYAN WRITES
TO Mr.. TAFT
WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT ANoTH'
Err AMENDMENT TO CoNSTlTU-
TON REGARDING SENATORS.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 14-Wm' j.
Bryan has addressed the following let
ter to President Taft:
president Taft: Now that the
states are going to vote on the ratifi-
cation of the amendment specifically
authorizing an income tax, why not
give them a chance to vote on an
amendment providing for the election
of United States Senators by popular
vote In your speech of acceptance
you said that you were personally in
clned to favor such a change in the
constitution. Would this not be an
opportune time to present the sub
fect TO congress? Two constitutional
amendments, one authorizing an in
come tax and the other providing for
the popular election of senators,
would make your administration
memorable, and l pledge your what
ever assistance / can render IN Sc
curing the ratification Of these amend
ments.
With great respect I am. yours
truly,
civilian JENNINGS BRYAN"

There is one young widow who

When the funeral expenses had been

all the money she possessed and she
