Extract From Gov. DOnaghey's Last Message to tie Voters on Amendment No. 10.
(By MEYER SOLMSON ,

,Ens. Route on Bryan-D Donaghey Special-What is regarded as the biggest political stunt ever pulled off in Arkansas is now flying through space over the Iron Mountain tracks and attracting attention from thous- ands who are gathering at eve'y cross-road. village, town and city and yell an enthusiastic welcome to the Great Commoner who has come to the aid of the party after months of urging Ever since the special left Little Rock yesterday morning those aboard have been given a roy al welcome.
 The special train itself is attract ing as much attention as the not ables who are numbered among it's passengers, but w. J. Bryan is de- monstrating to the skeptical ones that he is far from being dead one" if public admiration counts for anything. The train is completely equipped and it is doubtful if the party of New York millionaires en. joyed more comforts on their special to Reno several months ago than has been furnished Governor Donaghey's s guests.

It's provisions e so fair, go genuine ly Democratic and American that it seemed to me no man who believes in majority rule could oppose it. did not think that the tactics used in other states to kill the initiative and referendum would be employed ln Arkansas. But opposition has arisen and many honest voters are likely to be misled under the delus- lOu that luc dangerous provision, which will work ham to our people. By quot ing single passage and paying no attention to the rest of the Amend ment, its opponents are able to reach conclusions as misleading as the metaphor of the distance between the poles. By their method of req soning I can take the Bible and prove anything I set out to prove.
 When it is remembered that un- der the provisions of Amendment No. 10 no law proposed by petition of the people can be adopted unless a majority of the people vote in' its favor, it is as clear as daylight that either these men have no confidence in the people or else they have some other reason for denying our citi-
