LITTLE INTEREST IN CAMPAIGN
Candidates For AIdermanic Honors
Scarce.

With but two weeks intervening before
the primary election for members of
the city council and city treasurer it is
rather surprising that so little interest
is manifested. 1t is true that with
Messrs. Fl. O. Mitchell and T. n.
Hawkes. in the race for the Office of
treasurer interest in that direction is
waking up, but as yet the three men
who must fill vacancies upon the alder
manic board have not developed. At
least two gentlemen may be consider
ed candidates for aldermanic honors
and their formal announcements will
appear shortly. But they will hardly
pluck the plums unopposed, and ere
the polls are opened on December 10th
it is quite likely that a full track of
runners will be visible from the grand
stand.

it will be success this year, we be-
lieve, and continue to live for many

and we urge it's friends to help to
make the fair of this year the best in
it's existence. 1t is the only fair in
the State that has been held for TWEEN
ty-four consecutive years, and our
pride in it as home institution and
the pleasure it has given us in the

The first word in direct debate on
a new Constitution was spoken at
Mondays session. For something
over an hour the delegates listened
attentively to an explanation of the
plans for a new preamble and for
certain changes in the Bill of Rights.
the most interesting feature being
an argument why many historic re-
citals should be relegated to the rear
and a terse concise document of fun
damental law be adopted, such as
prevails in other States of the Union.
There was plea for some modern
provision for juries of less than II
men in trial of petty offenses, and for
assertion of the right of a citizen to
recover compensation when damaged
in the use of his property.

The committee of the Convention
on taxation and finance has before it
q plan which some leaders believe
will result, if adopted, in solving the
tax problem. 1t is to leave to the
counties and cities the taxing of real
and personal property for county
and city purposes, and to the State
the exclusive right to levy and coll
lect liquor taxes and those derived
from corporations, charters, etc. The
plan is to increase the license tax on
liquor dealers, requiring the railroad
and other corporations to pay In
creased taxes, in order that the bur-
dens may be lessened upon those
who are less able to pay. The plan
is a popular one, and when worked
out by the taxation committee may
be adopted by the Convention.

The Baptists won a victory over
the.combined forces of Methodists
and Presbyterians before the legisla>
tive committee Tuesday when it was
decided not to recommend a clause
in the new Constitution for the in
corporation of churches. Severed
ministers appeared before the cons

controversy. The members seemed
to fear that churches, If allowed to
acquire property, would become a
menace to the State. The fight will
probably be carried upon the floor of
