COMMITTEE NOT
FOR SUBMISSION
Would Likely Vote to Proclaim.
Work Being speeded-Get
Through Monday.

me story printed in an afternoon pa
per yesterday to the effect that the Final
Revision Committee had decided to rec
ommend the submission of the new Con
stitution was vigorously denied by two
prominent members of the committee last
night.
80 far from having done that" he
said, II am Of opinion that should a
vote be taken, it would result in favor
of proclamation
Neither of the gentlemen seen had the
remotest idea that the new Constitu-
ton would be submitted, or that the Re-
vision Committee would make any such
recommendation to the convention On
the other hand, they, like most other
Well-posted people, are firmly of opinion
that the convention will vote to pro-
claim by a safe, if not large, hna-
jority.
BERKELEY SAYS PROCLAIM
The town OF Berkeley was the last
place to recommend proclamation Lou
lisa will do likewise to-day, according to
the prophets, and many proclamation
victories are anticipated on Monday
Chesterfield is among the counties that
will hold meetings on that day. 1t was
said yesterday by q strong leader in the
convention. who is committed to the
abridged election idea, that he believed
those situated like himself would vote
to proclaim should their proposition fail.
which now seems likely.
II shall never consent he said, ito
have the present electorate pass upon
our work.
The work of the Final Revision Com
mitee is nearing a close. All the ordi-
nances. as revised, have been placed in
the hands of the printer and a subcom-
mittee. composed Of Messrs. Meredith
Brooke and r. Walton Moore, is writing
out a draft of the schedule, so far as it
has been arranged. The committee may
not complete its lahors to-day. but it will
certainly get through by Monday night.
TO HAVE FAIR ELECTIONS.
IT is evident that the Constitutional
Convention proposes to give the people
of Virginia clean sheet in the way OF
election machinery under the changed
conditions. which will come with the
going into effect OF tire new organic law.
Electoral Boards and registrars are to
be chosen for all the counties and cities
of the State and the convention, as a
whole. is evidently determined to select
a set of men who will administer the
laws fairly. and in such a manner as
carry out the spirit which is abroad in
the State for pure and high political
methods and n fair expression of the
will of the people under all conditions a t
the polls.
Members of the convention are now
engaged in making UP their lists of regis
trars and members of the Electoral
Boards. and they will be submitted and
voted upon shortly after the assembling
of the body on May odd
1t is understood that in the counties
represented by Republicans the conven-
ton will elect the officers recommended
by the Democratic authorities.
The session of the convention is not
expected to be of long DURATION though
there are many important matters to be
disposed of by the body.

KEEP The BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance Of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or
to get tired easily. the least imprudence
brings on sickness. weakness or debility.
The system needs tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best
tonic of which we have any knowledge
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this med
icine has done in keeping healthy people
healthy. in keeping up the even balance
Of health. gives it the same distinction as
a preventive that it enjoys as a cure.
Its early use has illustrated the wisdom
of the old saying that. a stitch In time
saves nine. Take Hoods for appetite,
strength, and endurance.
