FACING THE
REAL PROBLEMS
ArduouS Work Before the
Convention.

Richmond, Va, July When
the constitutional convention recon.
vened this morning alter recess
dating from July Bird. there was a
fairly full attendance. This was
contrary to prediction II was sup
posed by some that there would be
no quorum present, but there were
few absentees outside the South west
Virginia members. whose homes are
far away.
The convention remained in sess-
ion only for about an hour and did
little business. Various propositions
were presented and referred to ap.
propriate committees Among them
was suffrage clause proposed by
ex- Congressman George ID. Wise, of
Richmond, the reading Of which was
intently attended to, as members had
been led to believe that MIR. Wise
would probably solve the vexed
question. But, freed from it's super
abundance Of verbiage, the PROPOSE.
ton of Mr.. Wise involves the pre-.
payment of poll-tax by everybody
alike as a prerequisite to the right
OF suffrage. He will find a few ad-
vocates of his plan. as members
generally do not believe that poll
tax, pure and simple, will greatly
mend matters.
