Men Talked OF Tor Convention. alssSs

Governor Tyler has some strong con-
yictiu1ls in favor OF pressing the Work CO
framing a new Constitution through as rap
IDLY as possible after the Novsmoef eIec-
items next i4!l.
The pan which he proposes would, II
carried out, nave the new Instrument
ready Tor Tie Officers TO be chosen il tvs
work would ali be accomplished witatn less
than one year from Gate.
1ne Governor stated III an interview on
yesterday that he thought the Legislature
shouid De ConytAed III extra session. iiot
later than the 10TH OF next Noveinoet, so
that lis labors might be competed neiore
tie Christmas houdays, and tne delegates
TO the convention chosen at special eiec-
ton in the early part OF the following
January.
Inc convention could meet about the
tirst OF February. and would have ample
time TO comDkste It's work and sustnit 1t
to the people for ratification or rejection
at the May election OF l9J1- He said II the
new Constitution should be ratiLeo oy the
pc pie in May. the following November
election could be the hrst he'd under the
changed organic laws.
AS TO E&PENCES.
The Governor thought this plan would
hold down expenses. speedily execute the
expressed wishes OF the people and at the
same time prevent any hitch or break IN
the terms OF any OF the officials OF tae
State.
lie Legislature of 1912 Will be called
upon To elect all State officers and the
County and Circuit Court judges OF the
State, and it is the Governors idea that
the new Constitution Should, il possible,
be made effective by that time, SO as not
20 break in upon the terms or officials
who will have just entered upon new
term Of service.
II is very likely that scsne such plan as
that sugses ted by Governor Tyler Will be
adopted Nearly all the party leaders
seem to favor speedy action in the franz
ing of a new Constitution, and as the
Governor said, his plan would no doubt
meet the approval OF those VINO have all
along been urging that the matter should
be pressed forward while the people were
interested in its success
1t was learned on high authority yes
terGay that Speaker Saunders would accept
the position of president Of the convention,
and that he felt much gratified at the in
