The absence Of popular excitement
over the submission a second time OF
the draft for new Constitution for
Rhode Island tomorrow does not neces-
sariiy mean that the citizenship has no
interest In the matter. but II probably
does mean that no very large vote is
TO be looked for And yet there may
be larger coming out than most peo-
pie would expect, for there is a pretty
general feeling throughout the elector-
ate that this issue ought TO be settled
one way or another and dropped for
a spell, either providing us with mod
ern instrument OF fundamental law or
giving quietus to any more efforts to
secure such thing in the immediate.
future.

At the November election when the
draft OF a new Constitution, substanti-
ally the same as that to be voted on 10.
morrow, was submitted a majority Of
the voters of Rhode Island testified 10
their satisfaction N1th it. More than
seventeen thousand votes OF approval
were cast IN It's favor as against fs= =55oe
votes in opposition. The majority thus
secured, however. lacked something
more than one thousand votes of the
necessary three e-ffths. and so the new
Constitution failed of adoption. AT that
time the opposition to the new draft
was much more aggressive than IL has
been since the date for a new trial was
set. and IL is reasonable to suppose that
now that the citizens have had time Ia
think the matter over calmly and with.
out either restraint or pushing. a Iarg-
er proportion OF them will feel like go
ing TO the polls tomorrow and advanc.
ing the draft to the last step required
20 establish II as the fundamental law
Of the commonwealth.

grounds at all worth considering q,
which opposition to the new Constitu-

that the new Constitution viii place an

is plain that nothing like the power
that at present exists can be possible
under the proposed draft. And, besides
some of the country folks claim thai
the new draft placed undue power in the
city representation which indicates that
the statement of this ground of oppo.
sition Is very much confused That
this argument, whichever way IL Is
stated fails to attract much attention

Rhode Island has surely been sufiici-
entity conservative N the matter OF
Constitutional changes. The instru-
ment now i'm operation dates back more
than half century. and it's amend
ments have been very few ana sharp in
accordance with the spirit OF the pro-
gressive years. These radical amend
ments suffer no change in the new
draft which only seeks to secure fur
ther amendments of Importance in
lump. instead OF leaving them open TO
agitation from year TO year. and thus
developing a Constitution that in it's
would be more impressive
than in its original structure.
