iroduce a bill repeating the act Great
ing the Constitutional Conventions II
is not his bill or idea. but he gave no

likely that the bin will pass. but il Is
merely paving the way fer one that
will. II is understood in the legisla.
tive halls that the Constitutional Con.
vention proposes to proclaim the new
Constitution without giving the voters
an opportunity TO vote upon its ratih.
cation or rejection. If law will pre-.
vent such action. and there is high ju.
dicial authority for the statement that
it Will, law will be passed compelling
the convention to submit their work
TO the people Of the state. IL is un.
derstood that Senator Pyle will intro.
duce such a bin in a short time.
