CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION Is
THE GREATEST ISSUE OF THE TINE
The Battle Begun In 1895 by Senator Withers to Be
Carried to a Successful Conclusion by the Peo
pie in 19o1-Best Men in the State Sit
in the Convention.
N the Convention.

With the opening days of the twentieth
century comes the agitation of what is
by common consent the most important
public question that has engaged the at
ten,ion of the people OF Virginia since the
Civil War.
The matter Of reforming the organic
law OF the State is recognized every
where and among all classes as of sweep
ing moment, and the nearneSS of the time
at which il must be determined makes it
easily the leading issue among the many
now pending in the political arena.
The fight for constitutional reform in
Virginia is no new one, it having had its
incipiency in the Legislature of 1885,
when that brilliant young leader from
Danrille-Hon. Eugene Withers-intro-
duced and had passed 4 bill submitting
10 the people the question of calling Tor
a Constitutional Convention
While the proposition failed OF adoption
al the polls, the question has been aSi-
tated with moro or less Vigor ever since.
and the movement now about TO be con-
stImmatcd may be said to have had its
great battle waEed in the Legislature OF
1856 by Senator NitherS.
AT the last session Of that body the
question was revised by the passage of
another hill, introduced by Senator IL. d.
Flood, of ApponattoI, calling for an eX-
preston on tho subject at the regular
election IN May. 1900
MON BY THE PEOPLE.
The proposition would have undoubted-
~ been lost q second time had il not been
Jor the fact that a State Convention of
the Democratic party had TO meet in the
interim between the adjournment OF the
Legislature and the holding Of the cleo
ton in May, 10 send delegates to the Ma
sional Convention at Kansas City. This
enabled the convention advocates, with
the aid of the rank and file of the Demo-
crs,cy throughout the State. 10 place the
party squarely behind the movement,
which resulted in Il splendid triumph Of
the convention forces at the polls
The result was heralded far and wide as
n victory for the people against the poll
ticians, the latter for the most part haT-
ing been ciassed as opponents of the con-
MENTIONS. Those who had long s:nartcd
under the burdens feisted upon them by
the piebald convention of 1863 saw in The
result OF the May election the first ray
of substantial hope for constitutional re-
form, and they were jubilant that they
had won their battle. But it was not lcnS
ere mutternss OF apprehension were
heard as to the final result, and many OF
those who had worked hardest for the
first victory began to express the fear
that II might yet turn to ashes on their
lips" unless they should be able to press
forward and win out In every stage OF the
contest.
