that members should call to their sup

from the present constitution the only
thing they have agreed On-the people
shall not eject the Judges. Only last year
the cry, No government is right, estab-
lished without the consent of the gov
erned was sung all over this land by
the same men who now proclaim: The

stitnted imperialists, now asserting their
superiority over the people, assert: " We

you shall not elect Judges and other Olli-
