Some Facts About The Constitutional
Amendments.


Some of our Democratic exchanges are
commenting on the fact that the Consti-
tutional Amendments. 10 be voted on at
the coming election, are being published
only in Republican papers, which. in
some instances and in some counties,
amounts to no publication at all. Our
Democratic friends can possess them
selves in patience. I hese constitutional
amendments were rot intended. so far
as the Republican State Administration
and Machine are concerned. either TO be
seen, understood or adopted.
Here IS the history Of them III a nut
she'll J. 5. Darst, Of Jackson county. a
straight. clean. anti Machine Republican,
who believed the exhorbitant and enor-
nous fees going into the offices of the
Auditor and Secretary of State. should
be abolished. had the State officers salary
amendment for a hobby and the Repub-
lican machine let him passtt through the
Legislature, simply because they were
afraid to antogonize him. expecting, of
course. to kill It at the polls The first
amendment. making the Office of Secre-
Faary of State elective, was necessarily a
part of the nam amendments just refer
red to.
The School fund amendment was pass
ed because nobody objected to submit
ting it to the people, all desiring that
they should pass directly on the question.
The Judicial amendment was the es-
pecial pet and pride Of Judge Brannon.of
the Court Of Appeals, formerly Demo-
crat. latterly elected as Republican.
The interest he took in its passage would
have been pathetic had it not been that
one could not feel other than that the
noble Judge had visions OF an increased
salary under it.
Lastly the Democrats secured the pas
sage Of the proposed amendment which,
lifadopted. vii give the Legislature power
to pass a registration bill They tied up
the Judicial amendment in the Senate uu-
til the Republicans agreed to submit the
registration amendment. otherwise the
latter would never have been before the
people for ratification.
Now, as matter Of fact, the Republic
can Machine in the State wants all the
Constitutional Amendments killed save
one and they care but little about that.
The machine don't want the Secretary of
State made an elective officer; they don't
want him put on salary and his fees turn
cd into the State Treasury They don't
want the irreducble school fund limited
to one million dollars, for II is a useful
thing to pay political debts with, at the
expense Of the taxpayers of the State.
They care little about the Supreme Court.
because they can get political decision
from it when they want to any way, and
they most assurediy want no registration
law. because that would shut ont thou
sands Of illegal voters in the State.
Therefore the Republican State Machine
is not worrying itself about getting these
Constitutional Amendments before the
people.
The Review believes that il were great
" to the interest Of large majority Of
the State to adopt every one 81 the a
mendments. at the coming election. and
hopes the people of Hampshire county
win vote for them to man.
