Indications are that the forthcoming

made up Of the very best men from
the several communities of the State
The people generally are putting ASIDE
their prejudices and personal prefer
e,1ces and are going in for the very
best material There is 10 lack OF
good material in Virginia. and 1t is
practically all available. The people
have the most distinguished fellow
citizens to choose from and all signs
now point 10 the fact that the best
will be selected.
This is encouraging and reassurlng.
1t is a serious thing to wipe out the
organic law of the State and write it
anew. 1t is a difficult task to make a
Constitution for Virginia and the peo-
pie. we apprehend. did not fully realize
What it all meant until they were
brought face to face with the question.
But if the best of Virginia's statesmen
be brought together in convention they
will do as we'll for the State as any
convention of the past The interests
of Virginia are always safe in the
hands of her best and truest sons. and
Of such. we now feel assured. the Con-
stitutional Convention will be COM
posed.
