It is saying substantially 10 the

of the divine presence, all the love
which is poured like an atmosphere
around about us every day from the

Down in Sussex county an organ
ization has been effected by the
Democrats, known as "The Demo-
cratic Constitutional Reform Club.
The Sussex Journal in speaking of
the measure says, sit will be strange
if two-thirds Of the Democratic
voters of Sussex county do not iden-
tify themselves with the movement
in favor of constitutional reform be-
fore the campaign is over" The
movement sis purely Democratic. "
The Journal further states that "the
object Of the clubs which it is pro-
posed to organize drought the State
is to give Democratic voters an OPP
portunity to make their wishes
known in the councils of the
party, so that that party may see
what they want and grant it."
The Delawarean says that "this
agitation over a Constitutional Con
vention IS out of place" The same
paper further states: GAS it now
stands the constitution the Dem
ocratic party has everything in its
own hands, then why weask should
we attempt to do that which the
Republican press and leaders ofthat
party have for years been trying to
accomplish? If there are any
changes necessary, the Legislature
of the State is capable Of making
them, and we are surprised that
wcll-known Democrats should unin-
tentionally attempt to accomplish
that which the Republican party
has failed to dc"
Milford Chronicle touches on the
question very gingerly, and SAYS
"this will be felt at the polls next
fall, for they propose to have the
next State Convention adopt then
ideas as plank in the next Demo
cratic platform, or let the old riders
look out for breakers"
The Georgetown Democrat La
nothing to say on the Constitutions
question. Which way will the Den,
ocrat fall, as it is now balanced OF
the fence?
As the constitution now stands
fault has been found with appoint
ments made by the Governor, an'
we are inclined to think that th
Executive officer is vested with to
many appointments. Constitution
al convention would undobtedl
give the people chance to us
their franchise of electing candi
dates. The olliccholders would b
as capable as those already holdin
such appointments, And why not
