HON. DON p. HALsEY.

Editor of the Vlrginian- Pilot, Norfolk,
Va:
Dear Sir:-In reply to your inquiries
as to my views on the proposed Con-
stitutional Convention. oermit me to
say.
First. I am heartily in favor OF n con-
vention for the purpose of changing the
Constitution of this State, and have
favored such n convention for long
time. For many reasons the present
Constitution is entirely unsuited to the
needs of the State, and the changes
which ought TO be made are SO many
and of such a radical nature that the
plan of separate amendments proposed
in the Legislature and afterwards sub
mitted to the people would be imprac-
ticable and unsatisfactory
Second. am most decidedly OF opin-
ion that the work OF the convention
should afterward be submitted to
vote Of the people for ratification or
rejection. Indeed. 1t is to be doubted
If some OF the changes which ought to
be made and which will doubtless be
proposed. In regard to the restriction
OF suffrage. would under section Of
article MI OF the present Constitution.
become effective without such n sub
mission Tn any case, n matter of such
moment to the entire body polite ought

to be passed upon by the people them
selves, no matter how distinguished
and representative body the conven-
ton may be. It Is to be hoped that the
approaching Democratic convention,
which Is to be held In your thriving
city. will deal with this matter In no
uncertain way. Unless the Democratic
party take decided stand in favor of
the Constitutional Convention 1t will
not only fail in it's duty to the people.
but will also lose a political opportunity
of great value. The new Constitution
ought to be what the present one is
far from being-Democratic In all Its
details, and this 1t cannot be unless
those who believe In Democratic prln-
ciples stand together and fight for their
establishment in the organic law of
the Commonwealth.

Cape Charles, Va, April IL. 1900.
Virginian-Pilot Publishing Co.,
Gentlemen:-If we cannot secure re-
lief from the evils of the present con-
stitution by legislative enactment. in
the way of amendment, then. it would
seem that convention was the only
way out of our trouble.
A convention has much to recon-
mend 1t. yet in looking for q correction
of some of the Ills through this chan
mel. we must also recognize the fact
that there are some dangers to be risk
ed.
Eighty or one hundred men have
passed both wise and equitable laws.
which not only redounded to their ere
dit. but were blessing to the COM
monwcalth. and this same number of
legislators have been known to pass
some Infamous acts, such as Commits
Sioners of valuation act, that not only
brought down on the heads of those
responsible for their passage Just and
righteous Indignation, but IL the provi-
sions had been carried out would have
inflicted untold hardships on the clti-
zens of our State.
Thus. with convention, If we were
sure the eighty or one hunderd men
would do only the good and shun
the bad. then could we all be of one ac-
cord In the expression of our views, but
knowing the liability OF human kind to
err. and the great efforts already be-
ing put forth by some. to our mind. in
competent men, to represent the people
in convention, we are frank in saying
that we are not unequvocally favor
able to convention, but would SUD-
port it as party measure
Yours truly.
