1312 FIRST CITY NATIONAL BANK BUILDING
HOUSTON 2, TEXAS
November 12, 1963
Mr. George H. W. Bush
Zapata Off-Shore Company
1701 Houston Club Building
Houston, Texas
Dear George:
I want to pass along the information that Precinct 129
(Dr. Crouch) has reported no NTN collections as of Monday,
November 11. As we agreed, I have not contacted Dr. Crouch
since he had promised you he would conduct a Fund Drive.
Precinct 129 collected nearly $2,000 last year; if he isn't
going to do it I'd still try a. mail solicitation if I had
approval of both you and Dr. Crouch.
Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Don
D. D. Hornbeck

Dear Gerry,
Congratulations on the wonderful job you

Congratulations!!

Mr. G. H. W. Bush, Chairman
Republican Party of Harris County
1710 Houston Club Building
Houston 2, Texas
Dear George:
Thanks for your endorsement of the letter for solicitation
of the 1962 Primary Election Voters.
Just to keep you current on Precinct 129 (Dr. Crouch),
the 1963 collections at County Headquarters as of Wednesday,
October 9, still contained no money from Precinct 129. I'll
give you another report in two weeks.
Our mail solicitation of 1962 contributors has yielded
over $2,000 to date with more letters going out.
Let me again emphasize the need for selection of a County
Finance Chairman to participate in the closing phases of the
1963 finance drive. Further, the planning phases of the 1964
drive should be getting started soon.
Sincerely yours,
Den

HARRIS COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY
522 Waugh Drive
Houston, Texas 77019
October 7, 1963
To:
County Chairman and Vice-Chairman, Advisory Committee, NTN
Vice-Chairmen, Area Chairmen, Area Finance Chairmen, Precinct
Chairmen and Precinct Finance Chairmen
From:
Donald D. Hornbeck, Co-Chairman, NTN Fund Drive
Subject: NTN Collections Report #5 (Through September 25, 1963)
Attached is a tabulation of all collections in the Fund Drive through
September 25, 1963. The total amount collected in the four-week period
since August 28 was $5,600, including $1,036 received from the mail
solicitation. I expect this direct mail program to net us at least
$3,000 -- all cash, no pledges.
There are several heavily-Republican precincts that had no effective
NTN Fund Drive in 1962 as well as 1963. Therefore, we have no list of
1962 contributors that we could contact by mail. The ten precincts with
the greatest potential registered 1,500 voters in the 1962 Republican
Primary. A mail solicitation of these Republicans should net us another
$2,000-3,000. Precinct and Area Chairmen will be contacted directly.
Please make one more round of phone calls to your block workers --
many were going to "really get going in September and October." Set a
quota for each of them to contact in the concluding weeks. Although pre-
cinct organizations are welcome to continue working as long as they wish,
we will "officially" conclude the 1963 nin Fund Drive on November 1.
However, we'll keep the books open for another month or SO.
An IBM listing of each precinct's September collections is being sent
with each precinct chairman's copy of this report. This will apprise you
of all September collections, including those from our mail solicitation.
Later in the year I plan to provide precinct chairmen with an IBM listing
of all 1963 NTN Fund Drive collections in their own precinct.
Although we failed to equal the 1962 NTN collections, the progress
is substantial. In early 1961 the precincts were asked to raise $100
each and only six were able to raise this amount. This year 16 precincts
have already raised over $1,000 each. And 75 have raised $100 or more.
This is progress!
Please mail in the collections you have on hand. Let's get those
checks cleared through the bank!

Dear Mrs. McGowen:
The Republican Party of Harris County will soon complete the 1963
Neighbor-to-Neighbor Fund Drive. In addition to the contributions
received from door-to-door solicitations by block workers, we have
collected about $1,500 from a "mail solicitation" begun in mid-September.
This meil solicitation was directed to people who had contributed in last
year's NTN Fund Drive.
I would like to ask your approval for e mail solicitation in your
precinct. A carefully worded letter would be sent to precinct residents
who voted in the 1962 Republican Primary Election. This list would be
checked against the lists of 1963 contributors to avoid soliciting a
contributor. Further, 1f there were other names to be avoided, we would
do that, too, based on your recommendation. A sample of the proposed
letter 1s attached; the letter will be printed on George Bush's stationery
and will carry his signature.
If you have any reservations or comments regarding this proposal,
please let me know immediately. I want this program to be effective in
raising additional money end in helping identify Republicans who are
willing to give more then their vote to the Party -- this will be helpful
in building the precinct organization.

Re: Office of County Chairman, Republican
Party, Harris County, Texas
RECEIVED
OCT 2 1963
ALL PRECINCT CHAIRMEN, AREA CHAIRMEN AND
OTHER REPUBLICANS OF HARRIS COUNTY
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Some friends have urged that I offer myself as a
candidate for county chairman.
It is my intention to do so at the appropriate time.
However, the immediate task, which must be presently
met, is to elect Jim Bailey mayor of Houston. This must be
an all-out party effort.
Therefore, I refuse to run the risk of diluting any
party effort for Jim Bailey by campaigning for county chair-
man at this time. Also, I sincerely hope that anyone else
who may offer himself as a candidate for chairman will also
avoid any campaigning whatever until after Jim Bailey is
elected mayor eight weeks from now.
My decision to seek this office is based upon the
following reasons:
1- To have Senator Barry Goldwater become the
Republican presidential nominee;
2- To secure a pledged delegation for Senator
Goldwater;
3- To secure a full slate of conservative Re-
publican nominees in 1964, state and local,
who adhere to the conservative political
philosophy held by Senator Goldwater; and,
4- To preserve and build party unity in order
that all candidates may receive full party
support.
This shall be a very crucial year for our party.
Therefore, I respectfully ask your support for county
chairman, as well as in meeting the challenges of the
coming year. I look forward to visiting with each of you,
individually, in order that you may ask me any questions
concerning my political philosophy, as well as my plans
to insure the effectual function of our county organization
toward electing Republican candidates.
Again, I emphasize that we must commit ourselves
unreservedly to the Jim Bailey Mayoralty Campaign. A
victory here, in the South's largest city, would give
the kind of encouragement needed by Senator Goldwater to
secure the presidential nomination.
Very truly yours,
Blartes m. Haden
Charles M. Haden

Subject: Performance in NTN Fund Drive
Could you give me an assist with Precinct 129 (Dr. Crouch)?
In my several conversations with Jim Brelsford, Jim reports that
Crouch plans to run the NTN. However, no tangible effort is
evident. Last year this precinct collected nearly $2,000 -- this
year zero. If Crouch does not operate a Fund Drive -- and a grass
roots program starting now can't possibly contact even half of
those 1962 contributors before the Holiday Season -- I would
like his approval for a mail solicitation.
Also, I am being needled by some hard-working precinct
chairmen about the performance of several well-to-do precincts,
particularly 129 (Crouch), 135 (Ackerman), 217, (Randall), 213 (Cantey)
and 274 (Wandel). There is little I can do about organizing a
Fund Drive in these precincts without work by precinct or area
chairmen. All we have to offer is the mail solicitation which
is dependent on there having been an effective 1962 NTN Fund Drive.
Can you do anything with these chairmen at this late hour?
Further, no action by them in 1963 may well signal no action in
1964, too.
Thanks, for any help you can give me.

Subject: Listing of NIN Contributors
Now that ve are combining a mail solicitation along with the
precinct solicitation in this NTN Fund Drive, it. is especially
desirable to have the September IBM listing at an early date.
It would be helpful if the pledge cards for the period ending
September 25 could be key-punched on Thursday, September 26, as
Was the procedure earlier this summer. If the September listing
could be obtained on Saturday, I could mail the September report
and the September listing together on Tuesday. This would allow
the precinct organization to keep current on contributors.
Regarding future work, the October period will close on
Wednesday, October 30. Since the mail solicitation and a few
precinct organizations will continue to bring in money after the
official November 1 closing date, I expect we will need a final
listing for November to be prepared in early December. By this
time the May listing should be corrected so that a combined listing
for the entire Fund Drive can be prepared.
Past observations would indicate that the IBM listing should
be corrected for name, address and precinct number by direct com-
parison with the source cards. This can be done in December and
January in order to prepare a highly accurate list for use in the
1964 NTN Fund Drive.
If you have any questions, please call me.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Don,
Just a word of congratulations on reaching the
$50,000 mark. I think this is terrific and
certainly reflects your hard work.
Incidentally I talked to Nancy Thawley about
mailing to the big gift list. She felt it would
be a problem and I think she is right. She
tells me that you and I discussed this. I
probably was talking when I should have been
listening: My feeling is that we shouldare
out the regular NTN letter to these people but
I don't feel they should be singled out. I
think if we go ahead with the regular NTN letter
in the precincts which have not been worked we
will get some money from these big givers. Let
me know 1f this does not suit you.
Again, congratulations on all this hard work and
thank you for the note.
Best regards,

Dear Noelie,
Attached is a copy of a letter which I

to Mr. Ryberg as he suggested in his

Dear Mr. Ryberg,
Mr. John Williams of Houston has written to me saying that
you were invited to head up the forces for Senator Goldwater
in Utah. He suggested that I contact you and urge that you
accept this important job. I can tell you that here in
Texas Senator Goldwater has trememdous support. Peter
O'Donnell, our State Chairman, is National Draft Goldwater
Chairman and he reports that the affection and-loyalty for
Goldwater is not limited to Texas by any means. This
movement appears to be a grass roots movement that all people
who believe in our Constitution can support without fear of
disappointment.
I know Senator Goldwater personally; he is charming and
attractive as well as B man of real integrity. In addition
to our strong feeling that Goldwater is the best candidate,
there is a great deal of statistical evidence to point up
the fact that he can not only be nominated but elected.
Goldwater will have solid support in the South and incidentally
this is not being done by trying to appeal to the southern.
vote on any kind of a recist basis. The South is simply fed
up with Federal intervention in all facets of life and are
prespred to support a strong conservative.
If the Draft Goldwater Headquarters can furnish you any
information which would help you make up your mind, I would
appreciate your letting me know. We have an active Goldwater
Headquarters here in Houston, staffed by people who are
dedicated to this cause. I have asked them to send you some
preliminary date.
Dest regards,

Dear Sir,
Since you are chairman of the Republican Party
in the Houston area, I am writing this letter to you
to ask a favor-a favor not just for me but for the
Republican Party and for the country.
I have just returned from the Rocky Mountain
area. While there I met several People who are admir-
ers of Sen. Goldwater. However, several of them are in
doubt as to his chances of becoming President.
One of the men that I talked to has been asked to
head-up the forces for Sen. Goldwater in Utah. His
name is Eric C. Ryberg. Even though he supports Mr.
Goldwater's ideas and principles, he is reluctant to
accept the responsibility because of doubt in his
mind. He impressed me as a man capable of discharging
this responsility, and I believe that all he needs is
a little persuasion. Therefore, this is the favor
that I ask. Please write Mr. Ryberg a letter and
assure him that the support for Sen. Goldwater is
real and widespread and that if the people will start
working for him, we can elect him President.
Congratulations on your decision to enter the
Republican primary for Senator. I surely would like
to see you lick Sen. Yarborough.
Respectfully yours,

We are convinced the only way to beat the Kennedys is through
grass roots precinct level organization.
The 1963 annual Neighbor-to-Neighbor Fund Drive is now underway.
Continued financial support is necessary to sustain our rate of
growth and build toward victory for our Republican candidates in
1964. Our budget for the year-ending June 30, 1964 is a CPA-
prepared appraisal of our minimum, no-frills expenses. Included
in it are numerous items including publication of the excellent
newspaper, the Banner, rental of our "new" headquarters near
Allen Parkway and Waugh Drive, maintenance of a full time
professional staff of three, candidates support, etc. We are
determined to build the Party at the grass roots level in all
areas of Houston.
Although you contributed to our 1962 Fund Drive, our records
indicate you have not been contacted for your 1963 contribution.
I am writing to ask if you will please send in your check now to
support the work that is preparing for victory in 1964. For
your convenience, a blank check is enclosed, and for your
information, the contributions this year have ranged in size up
to $100, with the average $16.
I am hopeful that you will use this means of expressing your
confidence in the objectives of this political party.

DOES THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVERSE PRIOR
CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATIONS BY THAT
COURT ?
SAM HOLLIDAY
Attorney at Law
San Antonio, Texas
FOREWORD:
This article is not a suggestion that anyone be or not be
impeached. But writer is making a serious attempt to face, with-
out evasion, a problem which seems to confuse many well meaning
people. We believe such confusion results principally from their
not approaching the problem as a rational one, one that can be
analyzed and understood, and hence they just pass it over in their
thinking. Any comments can be directed to writer at Rt. 4, Box
128-A, San Antonio 7, Texas.
DOES THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVERSE PRIOR
CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATIONS BY THAT
COURT ?
In considering this question, we are immediately met with the evident and un-
disputable fact that the Constitution does not state that the Supreme Court may
interpret the Constitution. It does not say anything whatever about the matter.
Many eminent men, including Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of
Independence and one of the inspirers of the American Bill of Rights, incorporated
into the Constitution, were of the opinion that the Supreme Court had no more
power to interpret the Constitution than did the other branches of the Government
in their respective spheres. The Court's asserted right is based, upon a claimed
logical necessity. It is claimed that the Court, in applying the Constitution to
the facts in cases coming before it, must ascertain, or interpret, the true mean=
ing of the Constitution in order to know what it was applying. In other words, it
is claimed that the Court is called upon, or has the duty, to search for and ascer-
tain the Constitution's true meaning and then apply that meaning to the facts before
the Court.
Much criticism has been heaped upon those, especially lawyers, who do not agree
with recent reversals of prior constructions of the Constitution by the Supreme Court.
Generally, such reversals occured when the Court was composed of a different group of
judges than those who rendered the prior decision. The basis of such criticism is
that the Supreme Court has the duty to interpret the Constitution, when it needs in-
terpreting to arrive at its true meaning; that as the Court is only interpreting the
Constitution to ascertain its true meaning in order to apply such meaning, that, when
the Court does interpret, or construes, a provision, that is, when it has ascertained
or found its true meaning, such interpretation should be accepted as the same as the
provision. It is claimed that it is the duty of all citizens to uphold such interpre-
tation just as if that had been the way the provision in question had been expressed
when it became part of the Constitution, because that was its true meaning when it
-1-
was adopted, only expressed differently. It is claimed that such interpretation
must be upheld whether the lawyer critic, or other critic, likes it or not, just
as it is his duty to uphold the express terms of the Constitution, whether he likes
it or not. This writer has no fault to find with such reasoning.
But the duty to uphold the Constitution and such an interpretation is not only
that of the lawyer, the official, the soldier and other citizens, but it is also
the obligation of the members of the Supreme Court themselves. They, like the lawyers
and other citizens, are obligated to uphold all of the Constitution. And if an inter-
pretation becomes a part of it, then the judges themselves, like the lawyers and other
citizens, have sworn to and are obligated to uphold it, just as they are obligated to
uphold the Constitution as written, whether they like it or not. It would appear
axiomatic that, if they are not so obligated, neither is anybody else, because the
obligation of each to uphold it is the same. Is the Constitution which the lawyer
swears to uphold the same or a different Constitution from that which the judges of
the Supreme Court swear to uphold?
There is only one Constitution of the United States of America, and all citizens,
regardless of their position, not excluding judges of the Supreme Court, are all alike
duty bound to uphold it.
Does a lawyer, official, soldier, or citizen have the right to say "I will not
uphold this provision, or this interpretation, because it is out of date and should
be changed?" It is evident that he does not.
Does a judge of the Supreme Court have the right to say, "I will not uphold this
provision, or this interpretation, because it is out of date and should be changed?"
It is still evident that he does not.
Suppose that the night before a reversal is made by the Supreme Court, a lawyer
is upholding the Constitution as originally interpreted by such Court, which had cor-
rectly interpreted it as having the meaning it had when it was adopted. But the follow-
ing morning, without his knowledge, the Supreme Court reverses such prior interpreta-
tion and gives it a, meaning opposite to the original interpretation. Thereupon, still
-2-
without knowledge of the change, the lawyer continues upholding the Constitutional
interpretation as he was the day before. Who would be upholding the Constitution,
the lawyer or the judges who attempt to change the prior interpretation? Is it
the lawyer's duty to uphold the Constitution or to uphold the judges?
It is inconceivable to writer's mind that the judges can emit judgments, orders,
or what not, which everybody, except themselves, is duty bound to uphold. Our laws
are applicable to all citizens, generally. We do not have a two class citizenship,
one composed of nine judges who are above the law and yet who, at the same time,
can make what amounts to law binding on everybody else, the second class citizens.
I do not believe that we have a nation of 180 million second class citizens, includ-
ing writer, and nine first class citizens. In a society of our background and tradi-
tions, it cannot be that the judges of the Court can set the limits of their own
power, for in such a case there would be no limits to such power. Would the govern-
ment then be by the people? How could it be, if the people have no effective will,
no power, as a matter of RIGHT to decide on their government? How could this be if
any expression of their will must depend on the will of nine men, and any expression
of their will can be disregarded, nullified and destroyed by those nine men? And
the quaint idea in the Declaration of Independence that every just power is derived
"from the consent of the governed", where would it fit in?
I beg you earnestly to consider the following reasoning.
There are at least three reasons why the Supreme Court can not change, that is,
amend by interpretation, by construction, the meaning of a provision of the Consti-
tution, or its equivalent, a prior interpretation, which, as such an interpretation,
has become of constitutional status, or as it is sometimes stated, "a part of the
Constitution."
The first reason is that the Constitution contains no provision giving the Court
such right. This was no oversight because the Constitution does provide how it is to
be amended, and the Court is not mentioned in this connection. Is this not proof that
the authors, great and learned men, who labored so earnestly and ably to make the Con-
-3-
stitution clear, simple and comprehensive, as well as the people who adopted it,
had no intention of giving the Court such power, under the well recognized rule
of legal construction, "Inclusius unius est eclusio alterius."
But the fundamental question as raised by the Court itself, is this:
Can the Supreme Court change the meaning
of the Constitution, including prior in-
terpretations, in order to make the Con-
stitution better, to make it suit what
the Court considers to be our current
conditions and the better current socio-
logical thought?
Whether a particular decision was good or bad, or whether any particular change
in the Constitution should have been made is not herein considered. We here are only
interested in whose right it is to make changes in meaning in the Constitution.
Writer has never heard of anyone who claims that the authors who wrote the origi-
nal Constitution, and the people who adopted it, thought they were providing that the
Supreme Court could amend the Constitution. If they did, why didn't they say so?
Furthermore, in such case, why did they expend so much effort, care and thought in
writing out a full Constitution at all. It would have been much simpler, and equally
as effective, to have provided something like this:
"There shall be one Supreme Court and its
word shall be the Constitution and the
supreme law of the land; and such Court
may, as and when it sees fit, change or
amend such Constitution, in the manner
it sees fit, by its word alone."
Can anyone believe that Madison's hand could, in seriousness, have written anything
meaning that? Can anyone believe that Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Franklin,
John Adams and other patriots would have agreed to it? And that grizzled, lean, austere,
uncompromising, old Samuel Adams, whose life was so enmeshed with the struggle for free-
dom that one can hardly think of the one without thinking of the other, would he have
agreed to it, or would he have died first?
Who can believe that the people, after revolting and undergoing nearly eight years
of suffering, hardships and war to get freedom would have adopted such a provision
denying them that freedom?
-4-
It is certain that that did not happen, and I will waste no more time on
whether the Constitution, at the time of its adoption meant that it could be
amended by the Supreme Court. If the Court ever acquired such right, it happened
in some other way and later. We will in this discussion, I believe, arrive at a
correct conclusion as to whether this happened.
If the Court has the right to change, or amend, a prior interpretation, or
construction, that is, an explanation of the meaning of the Constitution, which
has become a part of the Constitution, it can also change a part of equal dignity,
an express provision of the Constitution. If it can change it to what one person
believes is good, it can change it to what another person believes is good, although
it may seem bad to the first person. We are all aware that the Thirteenth Amend-
ment provides that slavery may not exist in the United States. Does the Court have
the right to say (not, will it do so?) that such provision is now changed and it
means, "Slavery may exist anywhere within the territorial limits of the United
States, notwithstanding any objection by any particular State."
If the judges of the Court can decide what is forward, they can decide that
backward is forward, because, if their will is the test, that which is backward and
that which is forward depends upon the ideas and whims of the judges of the Court.
It may just as well be the reverse of what those who support discretionary power for
the Court believe, just as some of its reversals are the reverse of what some other
people believe.
But the Constitution is inviolate. It is this inviolability of the Constitution,
or what the cases call "Inviolatus", and not "stare decisis", which makes the Consti-
tution invulnerable against changes without constitutional amendment. The Doctrine of
"Inviolatus" means that the Court cannot make changes in the meaning of the Constitu-
tion, because it is sacred as it is.
The second reason that the Supreme Court has no such right is that any right of
the Court to make such a change would be diametrically opposed to, inconsistent with,
-5-
the duty of the Court to interpret, to ascertain and to apply the true meaning of
the Constitution so as to preserve it inviolate, and to protect it, the only
function which the Supreme Court has with respect to the Constitution. Consider
this a moment. The Court, as a court, has no choice whatever with respect to the
Constitution other than to decide the form, not the meaning, of its interpretations.
The meaning has already been set by the Constitution which the Court is interpret-
ing or ascertaining. There are rights under the Constitution in the judges, as
citizens, and those rights are no different from those in other individual citizens.
But, as a Court, its relation to the Constitution is principally that of a duty owed.
The duty is to perform a function. That function, as above stated, is to apply the
Constitution and to interpret it so as to preserve it, preserving its meaning. The
function is commensurate with the duty and extends only as far as the duty extends.
Where there is no duty, there is no function to perform. The duty arises in necessi-
ty to ascertain and make clear and apply the true meaning of the Constitution, and
the function goes no further than the duty and the necessity. The right which is
correlative to the Court's duty is in the people and it is to have the Court faith-
fully interpret the Constitution.
Expressed in another way, the function of the Court to interpret the Constitu-
tion is necessary in order for it to perform its duty to apply the true meaning of
the Constitution to the facts coming before the Court. Such facts vary. Rarely, if
ever, are the facts before the Court in the exact words, or the exact opposite of the
words of, the Constitution. Hence the necessity that the Court ascertain, or inter-
pret, the meaning of the Constitution with reference to such facts. This necessity
is the only excuse or reason for the Court's construing, that is to say interpreting,
the Constitution. The function of the Court arises in and exists only from and to
the extent of such duty, and the duty arises in and is dependent upon such necessity.
Therefore, the function to interpret the Constitution goes only to the extent of such
necessity. Such necessity sets the limits of the function of the Court to interpret.
-6-
If there is no such necessity, there is no call for an interpretation, and, there-
fore, no duty or function to interpret. It is not necessary to misinterpret to
interpret. From this it is evident that the Court's duty and function does not ex-
tend to misinterpreting, ie., changing the meaning of, a provision of the Constitu-
tion, for this would be contrary to and would destroy the meaning which the Court
is duty bound to ascertain, or interpret, and to apply. The function to interpret
the Constitution is the exact opposite to and is inconsistent with any function to
misinterpret or to give another meaning to, to change, the Constitution. The Court
cannot discharge its duty to apply, to interpret and to protect, preserve and up-
hold the Constitution by attacking it and destroying it. Therefore the Court has
no such function, much less a right, to change, or amend, the Constitution.
The third reason that the Court cannot amend the Constitution, or an interpre-
tation with constitutional status, is because the Constitution positively, and clearly,
though not in so many words, prohibits the Supreme Court from doing SO. What provi-
sion is that?
It is the one directly and affirmatively stating how the Constitution is to be
amended. It provides that it can be amended by the people through their representa-
tives. One may say, "Yes, but this is not a statement that the Court can't." Yes,
it is, in effect, for consider this:
I am not relying only on the well known rule of construction, "Inclusio unius
est exclusio alterius". Such rule is, of course, applicable. But there is a much
more compelling and fundamental reason why such right in the people excludes the
same right in the court. This reason is that, if the Court can have such power
as a right, then the people cannot, despite the clear and express provisions in the
Constitution that they can. If the Court can, by interpreting, change the meaning
of a provision or an amendment adopted by the people, the Court can reject such pro-
vision or amendment and the people's act would be futile. Hence either the one or
the other of such claimed rights must yield. Of course, if such claimed rights con-
-7-
flict and are inconsistent, then the claimed right in the Court would have to cede
in view of the clear, direct statement in the Constitution that the people can amend
it.
How do they conflict? If the Court, at will, amends, or changes the Constitu-
tion, or an interpretation which has become a part thereof, it must be because the
Court decides to make a change in its meaning. If the Court can change it because
it is "bad" or "wrong" or for any other notion of its own, then it is the idea of
the judges' which limits the right to make the change. If the judges' idea as to
what change they want to make is the test, then they could make a change whenever
they take a notion to do so; they could do it immediately upon the adoption of an
amendment or later when the notion struck them. This would amount to the right of
veto over any amendment by the people. Then the RIGHT of the people would be in-
effective and such right would exist only so long as the judges decided not to veto
it. It is clear then that the right of the people to amend would not then exist as
a RIGHT at all, but only as a matter of sufferance or grace on the part of the judges
of the Court. A so-called right that does not exist, except by sufferance or grace
of another man or men, is no right. Then the two rights would be antagonistic and
the Court's right would be destructive of the people's so-called right. But the
Constitution expressly provides that the people have such right and says nothing
about the Court's having any such right. Therefore the claimed right of the Court
is necessarily denied by the recognition of the inconsistent right in the people.
The provision that the people have such right cannot be twisted to mean they cannot.
The Court does have the same right that all its predecessors had -- the right
to construe, to interpret, that is, to ascertain, the meaning of the Constitution,
to re-interpret the meaning of it, or of a prior interpretation, and to respect
their own constitutional acts, as many times as may be necessary to apply the meaning
of the Constitution to the varying facts which may come before that Court, but not to
change, that is to amend, such meaning.
-8-
There are two exceptions, as writer sees it, when a later Court can set aside
a prior interpretation: If the interpretation were made through fraud, and if the
prior interpretation was wrong in that it did not give a provision the meaning it
had when it was adopted. If there were such a cause of fraud, there would have
been no interpretation at all and, consequently, such purported interpretation
could be ignored by a subsequent Supreme Court. In the second case the Court would
not have performed its function to give a provision its true meaning, and the Court
cannot intentionally or through mistake change the meaning of a provision of the
Constitution. But these exceptions do not authorize the Court to make changes in
the meaning of an interpretation for other reasons, certainly not because the Court
thinks a provision is "bad" and should not have been adopted by the people, and cer-
tainly not because the Court believes that "the better modern sociological thought"
has changed and now considers a provision "bad" that was before thought to be "good."
Any misinterpretation by a later Court is likewise vulnerable and can be corrected,
if the Court does not give a provision the correct meaning it had when it was adopted.
The supporters of discretionary power for the Court do not seem to understand
that, when they advocate the Court's having the right, at will, to interpret out
of existence prior interpretations, which have reached constitutional status, they
are in reality advocating the destruction of the entire process of constitutional in-
terpretation by the Supreme Court and hence the destruction of constitutional govern-
ment. How does this follow:
If the limitations are removed as to the present Court, they likewise are re-
moved from the next and ensuing Courts. If the prior interpretations mean nothing
to this Court, then this Court's interpretations would mean nothing to the next and
future Courts. Each Court would be able to interpret the Constitution and prior in-
terpretations as it sees fit, thereby being able to disregard the prior acts of the
Court and to interpret them out of existence. The will of the judges would then be-
come the only law. The Constitution, and prior interpretations, including those of
all past, present and future Courts, would become surplusage. A Constitution that
-9-
is surplusage and which cannot furnish a binding rule is no Constitution and might
just as well never have been written. As a result of too much power in the Court,
the entire constitutional system would have disappeared. A true Constitution is
a limitation on the Court. If there is no limitation, there is no Constitution.
An interpretation, to be effective as an interpretation, must have binding effect.
If it does not have binding effect, then that which has equal dignity, a written
provision of the Constitution, would have no binding effect and we would have
government by fiat, or order, by the word of a few men, changeable at their dis-
cretion. What the discretionary power of a judge means has been considered before.
On other occasions I have called to your attention that one such case is that of
State VS. Cummings, 36 Mo. 263, in which it is said:
"The discretion of a judge is the law of
tyrants; it is always unknown; it is
different in different men; it is casual
and depends on constitution, temper and
passion. At best it is often caprice;
in its worst it is every vice, folly and
passion to which human nature can be
liable."

Just a note to thank you for inviting me to the
meeting last night and to commend you for the
fine work you are doing. See if you can keep
the enthusiasm running high.
I urge that you get some of the members to take
on and adopt a precinct program. If you do this
and do it successfully it could be an example
for the hest of the Harris County Republican Party,
young and old, to follow.
Very truly yours,

want to thank you for bring people that we did
not know over and introducing them. That was
most thoughtful of you.
Thanks again and see you soon at the Satelight

George,
Will be expecting you on the 16th,
but will call you in the meantime.
To save you time, you might drop
by about 8:30 -- the meeting will
have been called to order and we
can interrupt at any point for you
to say a few words. However, if
you can come earlier and visit a
little with the precinct workers,
we'd like to have you.
I've asked Des to stress the impor-
tance of financial support if we
are to achieve victory in any race.
You might also drive home the point.
Thanks, George
HOPE BARBARA CAN COME

Too!!
Republican Volunteers will be calling on you within the next two
weeks to ask for your 1963 donation to the Republican Party. A cor-
dial welcome by you will be apprecited.
Consider these facts when you are deciding the amount of your
donation:
1) Republican candidates win in areas where there is a strong,
well-organized and well-financed county and state organiza-
tion. Your donations this year will be used primarily to
establish such an organization in Houston under the very
able leadership of George Bush and to show the rest of the
state that Houston as well as Dallas can elect Republicans
to office.
2) We must also accumulate the funds necessary to properly
finance a political campaign. Able candidates are avail-
able such as Barry Goldwater, Ross Baker, and Des Barry,
but it is unfair to ask these men to expend the efforts
necessary to win, when without proper financing they have
no chance to win.
3) The Democrats have large contributors with special interests
to finance their campaigns. This may come as a surprise--
but a majority of the funds available to the Republican
Party must come from door-to-door collections.
4) You are aware of the national issues that face us, the
Cuban crisis, the proposed $12 billion deficit, etc. We
must have the money to elect candidates who can solve these
problems in a way consistent with the American way of life.
The volunteer will ask you for a minimum contribution of $10.
This may be the most important $10 you will ever invest.
Are you concerned about your country at this time? Do you
really care?
Frank Webber and Dick Williams
Co-Finance Chairmen
Precinct 282
seorge
P. S. If you would like to meet some Republican leaders and ask
them questions, you will be able to meet Des Barry and County Chair-
man George Bush May 16 at 8 P.M. at the Piney Point Golf Club, 9500
Westheimer. Everyone is welcome!

Dear Clyde:
Thanks for your letter of April 20th and the note of congratulations.
I was particularly happy to see that you have apparently fulfilled
one of the questions asked by the vacancy committee. "Would you work with
whoever is appointed Precinct Chairman".
You can be sure that in the near future you will be called upon to
accept a responsible assignment here in the precinct. I know that you
have worked with the precinct organization before and provided a valuable
service to the Party through your efforts this past year.
I noted that you also indicated there are other willing workers that
will assist our precinct organization. I hope they too will come forward
and make that fact known. You indicated they would like to be asked and
given the opportunity. From experience in other organizations I can say
that I don't know of a better way of being asked to take an assignment
than to volunteer just as you have done. I can assure you that those who
are willing to work in the overall effort of the precinct organization
and particularly the major goal of the Party (To elect all Republican
Candidates to Public Office) will find plenty to do here in 287.
After the normal transfer of records, etc. to me from Hart, I'll be
in a position to review our current situation, and with the Precinct
Organization, chart our course for the future. When that time comes I
hope many of the people you refer to in your letter will be among our
number.
Superior Sincerely, herd
Chairman, Precinct 287

Dear Mr. Hall,
I tried to call you yesterday and today to discuss with you
the recommendations of the Vacancy Committee concerning
your precinct. The Vacancy Committee has recommended that
Mr. Lombert be appointed Precinct Chairman and I plan to
proceed with this appointment.
I should tell you that the Committee was very much impressed
with both of you and the decision was not an easy one to make.
Gene Crossman, Carol Jones and others have talked to me about
your terrifically hard work in the Cox Compaign. As you may
know, I too worked in this Compaign but principally in the
financial end. I am hoping that you will be able to work
closely with Mr. Lambert for the benefit of the Republican
Party. In addition I hope that I can feel free to call on
you for some County function from time to time.
Frankly I think it is a wonderful sign when two able people
offer themselves as candidates for precinct chairman. It
shows that the Republican Party has come of age and I want
to thank you for permitting your name to be submitted.
I an sorry that I could not talk to you personally about this
before making the appointment but I think it is sound policy
to move very quickly after the Vacancy Committee has made its
recommendations and, therefore, I am notifying Mr. Lambert
today by letter of his appointment.
Please stay active in the Party; we need people like you.
I am hoping to see you personally one of these days soon.
Very truly yours,

Dear

Thank you for your letter of March 5th. I am
pleased that you felt my visit was worthwhile.
I assure you that it was worthwhile for me.
I was pleased to see the way you have done your
work and with the turn-out. Some people view
the job of precinct chairman as a thankless job
but I view it as the most important link in our
organization and a job that has to be done right
if we are to be successful in our goal.
You need not show me your news letter before it
goes to press but please put me on the mailing
list for it. I am most anxious to keep up with
activities such as this. I will take the letter
home and show it to Barbara. I am sure it will
please her.
