 q am heartily in favor of the calling of a constitutional convention for the state of Alabama, The benefits to the state to be derived from such a conven- ton are too numerous to mention. That there should be changes In our old con- stitution, no one will deny, and Is not the
 time meet for the change? Alabama is naturally endowed, in material resources as is no other state in the union. And
 with a new constitution, such as to meet
 the requirements of the progressive age
 in which we live. Alabama will soon
 stand out as one of the first states of thei
 union. Let us wake up from our Rip Van
 Wrinkle sleep, have constitutional con-
 vention, and thus make Alabama among
 the first competitors of the union. You
 may enlist me as one heartily in sym
 pathy with the movement and hope to
 see your efforts crowned with abundant
 success" tt

 necessity of a new constitution, and
 believe they do, the measure will be car
 ried before the people," ,l 9F
