'nigger,- but If they keep on prankini | with the Montevallo School. county cour
 houses and local legislation they will
 stsy there four years. and do nothing.
 tenn Is an evil the convention ehould d, away with.
 B. L. Malone-I would not want to b 1 under any obligation to a railroad if
 were a member of the Legislature. | M. c. Burch-My opinion is that it is { | grave mistake the convention is abou
 to make. It should abolish the pass sys | tenn.
 E. F.. Graves-Ditto above. Attorney Tennis Tidwell-I think the,
 make A grave mistake. think no mem Der can cast an unbiased vote who ac' cepts free passes. I believe the Constitu tion will be voted down by the people. | Dr. R. L. Sullivan-The convention act. ed very unwisely. l should do away with the evil. It is custom very prejudicia to the peoples interest.. | E. J. Fenn-The system should be done | away with. :,
 George A. Nelson-No legislator should may nsye as esse They S Soas spsase pad did | eighteen years on the bench. | Thomas H. Harris-By all means sec l ond the above.
 c. F. Buchhett-No man can vote hon estly who rides on a railroad pass. Do away with it.
 J. M Robinson-Razee the passes.
 
 | opinion is the convention should embody a prohibitive free pass clause in the or | ganic law so unequivocally worded lt cannot be evaded. No member 9t tnf paid mileage by the State who accepts or rides on a railroad pass. The system is. in many ways prejudicial. Frank Brown-I thing 1t should be pro- hibited.
 T. J. Tilman-The railroads already have this country bought and all legisla- tors should be prohibited from riding on passes.
 Attorney s. A. Lynne-I think the con vention would act unwisely if 1t failed to prohibit the pass evil.
 Attorney S. T. Wert-I am opposed to legislators judges, or any other State of fcer having railroad passes. 1 do not think the average legislator or judge can cast an unbiased vote or render an un- biased decision if he rides on free passes. I am in favor of incorporating in the or ganic law a clause making 1t forfeiture of office for an officer to ride on pass or to ride free of charge. Major W. R. Francis-I coincide with Colonel Vert. -t. Sam J. Philipson-Do away with passes pr. E. J. Conyngton-If legislator rides on passes he should draw no miie- age from the State.
 Herbert Cartwright-I think the con vention should pass the amendment of- fered by Mir Murphree
 T. G. Morrow-Memberso of the Legisia- ture should pay fare like other people. They have no business to get passes.
 Abe Jervis-Ditto above.
 J. s. Patterson-Let the convention qo it's duty and Kill the pass business. IL has no place in a system of honest gov ernment.
 The sentiment Is general in all quarters here that the convention would commit an act of utter folly did 1t so stultify it. self as to fail in killing the pass system. The sentiment I have found has grown rapidly in the last few days against the I have heard scores of dissatisfied mur- murs on account of the long-drawn-out sittings and small accomplishments of the body. Many decided expressions nave been heard among all classes against the adoption of the Constitution when 1t comes back to the people and these ex- pressions. too. are in the main coming fro mformer friends and supporters or the convention movement.
