DeS MONIES, NOV. Z.
Hon. Morgan Griswold, Ottumwa, IA:
Dear sir: In closing the headquar-
tiers of the republican state central
committee for the year of 1900 in the
campaign of Mckinley and Roosevelt,
desire to personally thank you for
the Industrious careful attention and
the work you have given to the details
of the campaign to make 1t successful.
You are indeed to be congratulated on
the showing your county has made and
the victory in Iowa is due to the work
and energy of men like yourself, who
have been enrolled upon the books at
headquarters. The completely of the
wants and requests that come about in
campaign, the oversight of many
things that are bound to occur where
there are so many details to look after,
are the embarrassing things of the
campaign and the chairman of the
committee must meet them. My only
regret was my inability to fulfill all
the requests made. / sincerely hope
| that the republicans Of your county
will appreciate the Industrious cam
paign, which you have made and am
sure that I will see that a few of the
workers of the party know that your
efforts are appreciated outside your
own county.
Again thanking you for the kind sup
port you have given me during the en-
tire campaign am
Yours very truly,
H. o. Weaver, Chairman.

dent of the senate. The supreme
judges were required to be elected by

dent of the senate. The supreme
judges were required to be elected by
the people.
1t was provided that banks might
be established under laws enacted by
the general assembly, provided these
banking laws were approved by the
people at a special election.
The limit of the state debt was
changed from 100000 to $3.50, 900. The
number of senators in the general as
sembly was fixed at fifty and the num-
Der of representatives at 100.
A state board of education was pro-
vided for. The permanent capital of
the state was fixed at Des Moines and
the state university was located per-
manently at Iowa City.
Another provision was to submit to
the people a proposition to strike the
word white" from the article on suf-
frage, the effect of which would be to
permit the negroes to vote if adopted.
| 1t was adopted some years later, in
1858.
The bitterest fight, however, that
characterized the convention of 1857
was in connection with the location Of
the capital at Des Moines. Iowa City
was given the state university as a
peace offering, but it was SO bitterly
/ opposed to the change it contested
| holding the convention vigorously.
Marshalltown, which was seeking the
capital, was also opposed to holding
the convention. At that time the con-
vention followed Immediately after the
session of the legislature.
The submission of the constitutional
amendment calling for biennialins
of annual elections in Iowa, has caused
considerable speculation as to the eff
feet it's adoption would have on the
jury system. In Iowa the statute pro-
vides that at each general election the
judges of the election shall certify to
Tie county auditor the names of GER
tain electors in each precinct for jury
purposes, SO many for petty jurors and
so many for grand jurors. The num-
Der to be certified from each precinct
is determined on the basis of the vote
cast at the preceding election by the
county auditor.
1t has been maintained by some that
in the event there is no election in
Iowa next year because of the adop-
ton of the amendment, the workings
of the jury law will be so interfered
with that 1t will require special ses-
sion of the legislature to amend or
there will be no way for drawing jur-
ors for service in 1902.
The manner of selecting those liable
for jury duty is determined by section
337 of the code. 1t provides mat where
the judges of the election neglect to
lcertify the proper number of names for
Jury duty that then the board of SUI.
pervisors when it meets to canvass the
returns may select the requisite mum
Der for jury duty from the names ap
pearing in the poll books and return
them to the auditor the same as the
election board.

People Have Said They Want the
Constitution Revised.
43 YEARS SINCE IT WAS DONE
First Convention Was Held In Iowa
City January 10, 1857, When Numer-
GUS Important Changes Were Made
Second One Held in 1857.

Without any agitation on the sub
ject or any especial attention being
given to it the proposition to hold a
convention to revise the constitution
of the state was undoubtedly adopted
at the election Tuesday.
The proposition was submitted in
accordance with a provision of the
constitution requiring such PROPOSE
ton to be submitted in 1870 and every
ten years thereafter. Heretofore it
has been voted down. The same out
come was expected this year. Meth
er state officers, legislators or polite
al managers took any public interest
in the proposition and defeat for it
was anticipated. The explanation of
success usually given is that a large
proportion of the voters who voted for
the proposition did SO supposing it
was connected with the Titus amend
ment providing for biennial elections
which was submitted ON the same bal
lot and which was adopted. Many,
however, doubtless voted for a consti-
tutional convention believing that
changes in the organic laws of the
state are advisable.
From this it is apparent if a consti-
tutional convention is to be held it
cannot be held until 1902, after the
next session of the legislature. 1t
| would devolve on the next legislature
to determine the number of delegates
| to be chosen and the basis of repre-
sentation in the convention.
1t has been forty-three years since a
| convention to revise and amend the
constitution was held in Iowa. 1t
consisted of thirty-six members, one
from each senatorial district. 1t met
at Iowa City, then the capital of the
state, January 10, 1857, and continued
| in session until March 5. 1t was a
representative body of able Iowans
and the debates in the convention
were powerful. Numerous important
changes were made in the constitu.
ton by this convention. Among
them were the following:
1t was provided the general cleo.
tons should be held the second Tues
day in October, a date subsequently
changed by an amendment
The date for beginning the biennial
sessions of the legislature was fixed
on the second Monday in December.
1t was provided it should require
the votes of a majority of the mem
bers elected in each branch Of the gen
eral assembly to pass bill.

and those using the telegraph in gen
eral is the extension of the Charlton

about fifteen on the Grant City branch
