Bryan, Texas, March 10, 1913.
President Woodrow Wilson,
The White House,
Washington, D. C.


Mr.. President:
l beg your pardon for taking the
liberty of writing you, a man who is
so engrossed with the affairs of the
public, but hope you will find time to
read these few words from a Texas
school boy who is deeply interested
in your election.
Perhaps you have asked yourself the
question as you have read thus far,
why did he venture to write me? That
is easy for me to answer. Though a
school boy, | am deeply interested in
politics and have been for four or five
years Upon hearing of your election,
and after reading your inaugural ad-
dress, it aroused my enthusiasm to
such pitch that | decided l would
write you even if it should be passed
over by you. | have been studying
your address in class for the last week,
which perhaps is the real reason for
my writing you.
Mr.. President, can not find words
to express how proud I was upon hear
ing of your election. Perhaps you have
seen a school boy, when given holt
day, rush from the room throwing his
hat in the air with yell after yell; in
just such a frame of mind and with
just such enthusiasm l hailed your
election. And why should not be
proud, and every other true South
erner, of the first Democratic Presi.
dent in fifteen years?-Who is man
that beyond doubt will bring honor

before he got mad he drank six

Then Hep Hardy dropped in

me making signs for an under

Hep comes to the bedside of

spent the previous night at a
tango party and ever since day
light he had been beating home
to windward. His cargo had
shifted and the seaway was
rough. Still clad in the black
and white scenery with the silk
bean cover somewhat mussed,
he groped across the darkened
room and solemnly shook hands
with me.
Then he sat in a chair by the
bedside and began to sing soft
lullabies to a hold-over.
Presently he reached out his
arm and made all the gestures
that go with the act of hitting
a bell to summon a waiter.
Receiving no answer to his
