cratic victory. He also states it gives him much qualification to see the Republicans advocating principles for which he has fought for years, and which he originated, even to the adoption of his money system by Wall street, which howled so long against him. Col. Bryan says it was the corporations informing the employees they would be discharged if they vot- ed for him, which caused his defeat.
 T had intended to come to Ark. ansas anyway said Col. Bryan in his speech today, because I believe i'll the majority rule and the majority must vote on the proposition or they will never have the amendmen, adopted. If we give the amendment as big majority as you will the state Democratic ticket there will be no question of it being adopted.
 Col. Bryan also dilated during the speeches of the day on the platform
 which forces public statements of campaign expenses, and says Arkan-
 sas will beat Nebraska in Initiative
 and Referendum, because the liquor interest defeated it in Nebraska last year, but cannot do it second time.
 At Newport the air was stifling hot
 yesterday, but 25O0 people stood around the stand in the park and lis- teneded attentively to Col. Bryan lay it to the lawyers. The train left there at 1920, nearly an hour and a half late and went to Tuckerman, where a five minute rear platform speech was made. At Hoxie, the band greeted the special train. The
 reception committee boarded the train
 at Newport and went to Hoxie with the Bryan party. It was composed of H. F. Ponder, John s. Gibson, James
 Surridge, Dolph Sloan and w. K. Sur ridge. Congressman w. A. Oldfield. ', also accompanied the party as far as Hoxle There were many Republicans l there also, Capt. F. w. Tucker, for mer chairman of the State Republican
 Central Committee being among them. ! Andrew I. Roland, candidate for gov. ernor was the Republican speaker in Hoxie before the arrival of the Bryan special. H. L. Ponder introduced Gov. Donaghey, who again presented Col. Bryan. A heavy rain had fal-
 len just before the speaking began,
 but this did not run the crowd be- low 5000. The speech was made from the rear of the train, and the spe.
 cial pulled out for Jonesboro, many
 Walnut Ridge citizens accompanying I it.
 The opponents to the amendment nave only one hope to defeat 1t and that is by keeping the whole vote
 rom turning out. I had decided to come to Arkansas and speak for this
 amendment before I received letters
 from friends telling me of the three words they termed the ''joker," which they said had been put in the amend. ment and which would permit the cities and counties to set aside the constitution and act separately from the state. They sent me Judge Roses opinion and the construction the law yers place on the amendment. I had a copy of the amendment myself and studied it and came to conclusion op- posite from that of the lawyers. I do not see that the decision of any set of lawyers is to be taken as final. There is nothing in the constitution which says leave this matter to the lawyers to decide. Judge Rose con- structed the amendment to bring such
 terrible things on the state. No court would ever place such a con- struction as that on the amendment. He says it would be a jump back to barbarism like there is in Africa in one step. He says there is nothing like 1t since the French revolution. He says by it the people can repudi- ate the governor and repeal the right to trial by jury, and what is mora says the Best citizens of the towns
