The constitutional convention Of
Utah will adjourn near noon today.
All that remains TO be done is to lis
Zen to the reading of the engrossed
copy of the instrument over which
so much time mas been spent. Then
the members will append their sig
natures and go home. Yesterday ev-
erything was finished except this. The
address 10 the people was adopted
and the printing matter disposed. An
other absurdity was INDUCED in. by
allowing Mrs. Clara Foltz, The famous
woman lawyer from san Francisco to
speak in convention. Her speech was.
of course, worth hearing. but under
the circumstances was somewhat out
of place.
Address to the People.
The members came together az 1910
<oclock yesterday morning and imme-
diately busted themselves endeavoring
TO find something to do. This was
difficult. Most of the members of the
special committee on address to the
people were away and no report had
been made. At length. however, at
ter a weary wait, Whitney submit ed
the address with a verbal report and
it without amendment or discussion.
It will be found at the head Of the
constitution, printed in this issue Of
The Herald. The report on it WAS af-
forwards signed by John Henry
Smith, c. c. Goodwin. o. F. Whitney.

one volume? The debates can hardly
be put in that Q4aughter)
Cannon-Well. there are good many
things not necessary and which could
be lefc out.
An Extraordinary Proposition.
SNart said this was one Of the most
Atraordinary propositions that had
been submitted to the convention. The
idea of placing it in the power OF any
one man, not a member of tbs con-
Vention. to say what matter should
20 in and what should not was pre-
posterous The only thing was 10 put
the matter in the hands Of commit
tee and let them supervise the work.
Cannon amended his resolution to
leave the matter under the supervis-
ion of the committee on compilation
and arrangement.
