1H[ TITUS AMENDMENT
The Proportion For Biennial Eco.
tions Carried by a Good
Majority.
The Returns Almost Complete Show
That the Proposition Won
Easily.
Convention For Revision Of the Con.
stitution Also Carried Aiscel-
laneous News.

Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Without any
agitation on the subject or any special
attention being given to it the propo-
sition to hold a convention to revise
the constitution of the state was un-
doubtedly adopted at the election on
Tuesday.
The proposition was submitted In ac-
cordance with a provision Of the con-
stitution requiring such a proposition
to be submitted In 1870 and every ten
years thereafter. Heretofore 1t has
been voted down. The same outcome
was expected this year Neither state
officers legislators or political mana
gers took any public interest In the
proposition and defeat for 1t was an
ticipated. The explanation Of success
usually given is that a large proper
ton of the voters who voted for the
proposition did so supposing it was
connected with the Titus amendment
providing for biennial elections which
was submitted on the same ballot and
which was adopted. Many, however,
doubtless voted for constitutional
convention believing that changes in
the organic law OF the state are adj
Ivisable.
That constitutional convention will
| be ordered is not fully determined, but
an affirmative vote on the proposition
was probably cast; The yets in nine
counties shows a plurality of LOIS for
the convention The convention, II It
has been ordered, cam not be held until
| 1909, after the next session OF the leg
lislature. The constitution provides
that the legislature shall determine the
number OF delegates to the convention,

Situation In IL Speech.
Boston, March 22-John d. Long, Sec
rotary of che Navy, was the guest of the
Nliddlesex Club at the American House
tonight, which was observed as veteran
night" Nearly 200 members of the club
were present. Secretary Long said:
1T is no use TO shut our eyes to the fact
that a fight is on. 1t is no use to deny
that opposition is strong, and has grown
stronger, as it always grows stronger on
the eve of an election. ii is no use to
deny that there are maicontents and hon
est doubters. The honest doubter must
be honestly met and honestly answered.
1T is true that our territorial acqui-
sitions have brought most serious prob
lens The Philippine Islands are ours by
the compact of a treaty. They are ours,
too, by the Acquiescence of the native in
habitants. We are thereby right and we
are bound to stay, by every duty. We,
therefore ask our critics not to spin the
cries of what might have been done, but
to cooperate with us and help US to take
our duty and discharge it. If they hope
TO bring in MIR. Bryan on the cry of anti
Imperialism, it would no more let the
Philippines go than it would part with
the collectorship of a custom house.
Once in power, the Democrats would i'm
mediately say that the wicked Republic
cans had fastened these islands upon the
country and the only thing to do is to
make the best of them and the most out
of them.
In dealing with our new island terrific
ries the interesting question has arisen
whether the limitations of the constitution
is extended by its force to them or
whether Congress has full power over
them.
THE vital point at stake is the consti-
tutional one. All the rest is a question
of what is the wisest and best thing to
do in the way of legislation.
Porto Rico in its present condition
needs help and that help has been given
at the suggestion of the President, by an
appropriation of more than $2C00C00 for
her relief. But l also think there has
been a great deal of exaggeration of the
importance of the question of subjecting
imports from Porto Rico to a customs
duty. OF the constitutional right to i'm
pose it I have no doubt. OF it's wisdom
Congress must Judge"
