10 bringing TO an issue the question OF a
constitutional convention would DO the
democratic party no harm. That party
now has everything in LIS own hsnos'

could increase its power. A President
ial and congressional election Will De
held next fell, 10 which the party 10 al
the districts should be united. Many
democrats, some of them Influential ones'
are opposed to making the convention
party question; the republicans VII"
vote against the convention almost to q
man. and as there is no necessity for
an immediate change In the constitu'
ton, why it should not be postponed
until q more convenient season and
when the question can be decided on
lite own merits and without being in
volyed In the least with other matters,
cannot be told.
