Now that the legally constituted
delegates have done their work, and
given to the people of the Territory a
Constitution for their future State, it
devolves upon every voter to inform
himself, as becomes an intelligent citi-
zen, upon all vital points of the new
document. The approaching election
for the adoption or rejection of the
Constitution just drafted will be of pc
culiar significance and importance. 1t
is an election that is understood to &C.
cur but once in the lifetime of free
and sovereign commonwealth, and
hence the importance that attaches to
its results. The people who make up
the population of a Territory during
it's transition period, from its organiza-
ton to full-fedged Statehood, have pc
culiar responsibilities resting upon
them. BY the choosing of their dele
gates to Constitutional Convention,
and afterwards by the right of suffrage,
they are formulating and engrossing
upon the pages of history, rules of ac-
ton for the moral and political guild
ance of an indefinite and perhaps lin
itless posterity. At their annual or
biennial general elections, intelligent
voters are choosing their rulers and
other officers for fixed and compare
lively brief period of time. Not so,
however, in an election having for its
purpose the adoption or rejection of a
State Constitution. This important
document, If accepted, becomes a fix
ture to mould the character of the peo-
pie and thus to afiix its impress for all
time.
With these considerations in view,
then, 1t becomes every well-disposed
citizen to see we'll to it that he has in
formed himself as to all the important
points Of the new Constitution for
which he is about to cast his ballot.
