The Constitutional Convention organ

OF complete list of Republican officers

agreed upon previously in party

The Democratic members met prior to
the assembling OF the Convention to
protest against the prostitution of such
a body to partisan purposes and to con-
denim the early establishment OF caucus
rule to force the members into the sup
port of party propositions and to deprive
them OF their Individual judgment and
honest conscience.

are intrusted with the high duty Of
framing the fundamental laws on which
all the statutes of the State are founded.
