CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The Convention decided that city treas
urers, like those in the counties, should
not be eligible to reelection after two
terms of four years each.
The report of the committee requiring
that no one not free holder should hold
membership "the least populous branch
Of the city council" was defeated.

bers of the convention in favor of pro-
claiming the new constitution.

cal ambition will not be apt to lose sight
of Senator Daniels prophecy that the
convention would he quite certain to
prove to many "a political graveyard"
This nightmare will be mighty apt to
prevent aspiring leaders from refusing to
allow the white voters an opportunity
to participate in the making Of their or
ganic law.
The Southern Bell Telephone fight for
franchise for the whole State which at
tracted so much attention in the Virginia
Legislature two years ago, in different
form, was sprung on the convention. 1t
provoked hot discussion. The subject
came up in the consideration OF Section
10 of the report OF the Committee on
Cities providing that no telephone,
electric street ear lines or similar i'm
provements shall use the streets without
the consent of the cities. Messrs Glass,
Meredith, Braxton, Ingram and Others
combatted Mr.. Thom's position with
great vigor. All amendments to the sec
ton were voted down.
