CHARLESTON, W. VA, Jan. Ex-senator
AFbpckle has an idea that it would be
well to call a constitutional convention
and introduced resolution to-day in
structing the Judiciary Committee to
report upon the expedfency OF such
action. He thinks that on account ol
theVast amount OF legislation presenting
itself at present, it would be better to
settle all by convention than by 80
much legislation and offering amend
ments TO the present Constitution. How.
ever, he seems to be almost alone in his
idea and his resolution will probably
amount to nothing.
One OF the most interesting discussions
