Mr. Montoya is a loyal Republican

it is held" Mr.. Montoya admitted
the interest of friends urging him to

GOVERNOR MECHEM
CHANGES ATTITUDE ON
AMENDMENT NUMBER

After careful study and a complete
investigation OF the facts, Gov. Mer,
rift c. Mechem has announced that
he can no longer consistently sup
port proposed constitutional amend
ment No s. This is the amendment
that would fix a limit of l0-mills up
on the levy for school purposes.
Gov Mechem's change OF attituf
was announced at big public meeting
and which was attended also by John
Y. Conway, state superintendent of
public instruction, and Hugh H. Will
liams, chairman of the state corpora
tion commission The governor an
nounced some two months ago that
he favored all the proposed amend
ments that had been submitted by
the Fifth Legislature, and that he
would urge their adoption by the peo-
pie at the special election to be held
on September 20
Recently. he has gone into the
matter thoroughly with John Joerns,
state educational auditor, and has been
convinced that the proposed amend
ment would greatly handicap the
schools in a number of the counties
n soma OF these counties 4 l5-mill
lev viii be required 70 keep the
present schools going, TO say nothing
Of anv Improvement or expansion.
The Union county people heartily
commended the governor for his
change in attitude toward this i'm
1ortant matter.
