To the Voters Of the State Of Nec York.
We arc on the eve Of the battle. The battle Is
for political existence. partisan Republican
Constitutional Convention has endeavored to
disfranchlse Democratic communities. Since
the state was first formed the population has
been the basis OF representation. To-day the
Republican party. realizing that II Is the minor
ity party, but knowing that its strength Is In the
| rural districts. deliberately abandons that time
honorcd principle and substitutes terr'-
tory for inhabitants, soil for souls, rs
the basis for representation. This minority
party. clothed with brief and acci-
dental power, seeks TO 80 apportion the State
that Republican districts with small total
vote shall have greater representation in the
| Legislature thnn Democratic districts with a
! large total vote. For example, one Republican
Senatorial district Is created with population
7 OF s5, ,oO0 while Albany county, with popula-
| ton of 10000 has only one Senatorial district.

ment. II was n deliberate plan TO gain political
supremacy at the expense of honesty, fairness.
and justice We appeal to the people. 1t is their
