The last Propositio for Convention.

The last proposition. looking to state
Constitutional Convention. comes from late
issue Of the Camden TiibuRs. 1t proposes
that all the members of the present senate

siynations to Gov. Baxter and that he accepts
them and orders at once an rlcetion Tor ne"
Legislature. which shall, Immediately after
its election be called together by the Govern

tion for members to Constitutional convcn-

somewhat represent Gov. Baxter's feelings on

The people are not prepared and do not de-
sire an election at this time.
The failure of the people to respond to the
call of the Liberal State Committee urging M
early call of Constitutional Convention
should convince all that they are not ready
to enter into another fruitless contest Mt this
time-as this would certainly prove to be.
The people desire rest and will abide the time
when their efforts can be made available for

tional convention howlers, will still agitate
the call for Convention. at once, but they
