LETTER TO A. F. LAmBEnr.

Dear Sir: There's q little bit of 4
state down east--a Rhode Island man
was fined 800 the other day for sell
ing potatoes-his busbel was like bis
state; short measure.
1t isn't fair to punish man fol-
short bushel-potatoes, and not for
short-gallon paint.
There is short gallon paint in many
stores in your section.
If You get SEM to the legislature.
will you get the law fixed?
Devoe lead and zinc don't measure
short and don t last short. It's iull
measure both ways.
Yours truly,
Il. W. Devoe & 60.

State Convention

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June ia spe-
ciaI state vote was taken today in Con
necticut on the adoption of the new
constitution drawn up BY the State con
vention which has been IN session for
Eve months. The main feature OF he
new constitution IS that it takes away
some Of the power Of the sI4aH towns.
which have had as many delegates IN
the house Of representatives as the
large cities. although not bas.ng the
new distribution wholly on representa-
lion. Minor amendments relate TO the
manner Of electing judges and minor
State officials.
Voting vas light In the early hours
and party lines we're generally disre-
gaTdcd in the baIIoting- Ia general, the
state Republican organs advocated the
ratification OF the proposed amendments
and constitution. while the Democratic
leaders opposed it.
II was generally believed that the con-
stitution would be rejected and the en-
tire work of the long convention be rem
dered absolutely fruitless- United
States Senator Plat came out favor
Of the adoption Of the new constitution
and returned from Washington to vote
Ex-Gov. Morgan c. Buckley. of Hart
ford. was also an ardent advocate Of the
new constitution.
