Canada, I have had many Inquiring both trom my horn people and other In th Kuu a to my position tn regard to the ten Constitutional amendment! submitted to the people ef North Carolina by the last General Assembly, and have been requested to (rive my views to the public While do not think 4hat I -can add anything to what has been laid by other. Mftsrlatlv ' the newsoaners. favoring the passage of1 theso amend ments, still brlnr sat isliett that the amendments should, be adopted, re- araiess or wno may criticise oiv.op- pose them, it Is my- intention not-only to vote for :ihe amendments but both privately and on the stump urge the people to pass them. These amendments were carefully prepared by some of the wisest and most conscientious men -Hi the Ktate. Afterwards were thoroughly consider ed and digested by the Genera As sembly, and I have yet to hear one Soou.vsJld reason - why "they should not be ratllied by the people. Briefly let us consider each amend ment separately. Article 1. Every patriotic citizen who believes that our forefathers were not rebels, but were fighting for a principle should readily vote for this change In the wording" of the Con stitution. Article 2. As I now recall. North Carolina is the only State that pays only $4 00 per diem to the members of the General Assembly, and any in telligent person knows that this is not sufficient to pay a member's campaign expenses, and what ft costs -htm to remain in Kalelgh during tho session ui. me igiBiuiurr. . us so change the Constitution that "i Just, and at the same time a reason VI i a hi ou n t "Th ay " tv gtven - to t he- men who make our laws, tnus tnsur ing stronger men in our Assembly halls. Article 3. Too much time is wast ed by the General Assembly tn con sidering local matters that could be better determined before Inn clerk of the Superior Court or the commis sinners of the county, when all parties Interested could have a hearing, in stead of being hastily passed by the legislature- -for ..private, and special purposes. Atlele 4. No -one will deny that the inauguration of the Governor ought to be lined for a certain day. and not be led for each huministra tion fiTTienier . Article 8. While Governor. of North Carolina, I learned the neces slty of such an amendment, as often the Judge who was to hold the court of certain counties, was sick and un able to attend, and no other Judge was available, and so tho court had to be adjourned, leaving prisoners In jail, and the suits of litigants un settled. In order, therefore, that this should be remedied, the Btate should" pruvlehr-snme way- for an emergency judge to be appointed by the Governor, asrlfeHhe law In many States, or elected by the bar of the county, as In Tennessee. Article -6. . This la simply as I un stand, to strike obsolete sections from the Constitution,, which today have no force or effect. -ArtirtwT: Thi-1- donWtess the i most Important section sot.roHled io the people. If passed, it will not in crease taxation, but on the contrary will lower it. Property enn then be. valued at Its'true value, milking the valuation much higher than at pres ent, this giving us our proper value before the world, while the rate will be lewtened. AIho the burden will be lifted off of land and other vfalble prnper'y, and placed upon other property that is now hidden away, or fraudulently concealed, paying no tax to the State.- Ohio anU other Stales have tried this, und it has worked welIS4.nd in my Judgment would add much to tha I regress and wealth of North Carolina. Article g and. S. These two. articles I will consider together. They wljl prevent corporations or cities and tun.ua from . hurrying ltl-adviwil charters-soften with hidden purposes concealed therein, through the legis lature, and compel them to go before the proper triliunul where all Inter ested nnrt'es rnnld be given a hear ing, and right and Jumico" be fully done. ' h Article 10. 1. suppose It requires no argument to urge the eslenioon of the schwil term from fmir to six monlhs in the year, su that every child, no matter -how poivrv may W able to get sufficient din'nt!on to lit them for the duty of lite. A State's prosperity ia correctly judged by the estimate it puts upon the education of Its childreii, and a wealthy Wale irke Torth Carolina can no longer Justify Itself, In giving its youth less than a six month' term of school. In order that the taT-psers may see thst my views on these amend ments are not newly formed- or with out due consideration. I would refer them to the messages e tit by me to the General Assembly when I whs Governor, tirgtng that bnrty to do Avaivthlng. In tU4limxxa.'iE'Ulii. means of taxation which wuurjpre vent fraud In giving In property, and . -v ' I require every clasa and eondltloa of men to bear their proportionate part of the burdens of the State. I also urged the prevention or lo al legislation befure th , General As- sembly, so that its members might give1 -more carefiir considerattun to welghtlef measures that affeeted-tne Interest of the entire State. " - In addition to this, I urged upon the General Assembly to do every thing In Its power o promote and encourage the cause of education, be lieving that the education of the people r means' to a great extent the prevention of rrime, an Increase In wealth. and the betterment of morals. " - fnr lTtnllcd Primary, Tiio. As I may not have another oppor tunity of expressing my views 4n the publlo pres!ht -cannot clie this article- without' urging ttpon the members who will constitute the next tJeneral Assembly, -. to estahllsh legalized primaries for the entire State. In my Judament a candidate who In not willing to suumlt his claims to all the people, but desires to secure his nomination through the efforts of a few special trlends. Is not worthy to hold if lice In pur great Slate. I understand that North Carolina Is the only Ktate In the I'mon that has not a legalised primary for the nom ination or all officers both State and Federal, aiid I earficsf ly "hope the next Xeglslantre--will remedy "this wrong. . As Governor I urged this before the legislature, and drew a hill In regard to it with my own hands. The Legis lature failed at that session to take any action. Very briefly have I given my views In regard to these ten. amend ments submitted to the people, and I desire once more to urge every vot er, regardless of his party affiliations, to think these matters over for him self, and if he can agree wltrt me that the ratification of these amend nients tendtn, the welfare of the State, cast his vote for n casures that I ajn satMicd will add very much to the mpterliil, ciiiicHtlonal, ana moral prosperity of the State.

They are silent on the sub-1- jet! if the new currency law; they are subdued on the Simmons-Cnder. wood tariff law; they are aa quiet as death on the Wilson-Bryan diplo macy. "Tho truth is" said Mr. Bailey "our Opponents are sufficiently occupied fighting one another.
