Two separate ballots will be cast

Two separate ballots will be cast
by theelectors next Tuesday, the large
ballot containing the names of cam
didatee and small one flor which see
supplement submitting two proposi-
tions, to-wit, First. Shall there be "
convention to revise the constitution
and amend the same? Second: Shall
the constitution be amended so as to
have general election every two years
instead of annually? The first pro.
position will no doubt be defeated, be-
cause no good reason can be advanced
for going to the great expense of hold
ing constitutional convention. 1t
would benefit few politicians by Civ.
ing them temporary employment, and
that is probably why it was proposed.
As to the second proposition we think
1t ought to carry. Elections every two
years would be ofren enough,a and there
by one half of the expense of elections
would be saved to the people, and the
politicians would have much needed
rest. We are in favor Of giving them
rest and saving expense to the state
and shall therefore vote no, on the first
proposition, and yes on the second.
The reports in various of our coun-
ty papers that DIR. G. Q. Bradley has re-

health and feeling and the large mum.
Der of patients who depend upon his
genial presence to cheer them and his
wide experience and thorough know
ledge of the art of medicine to get
them up and away from their various
ailments would he sorrylindeed to heat
of sucha step on DIR. Bradley's part.
