I'm speaking of +. w. Redfern, the
Clinton County Republican says:
Hon. +. w. Redfern of Essex is a can
didate for the republican nomination for
member of the coming constitutional con
vention. Mr.. Redfern has been making
a canvass of the county and states that he
received a most cordial reception and
words of encouragement from many
sources. He was born in Toronto, July
20, 1912; came to Michigan in 1858, at
tended the high school at Marshall,
taught school, became a farmer, repre-
scented Clinton county in the popular
branch of the legislature for two terms
beginning in 1868, has been prominently
identified with the grange and farmers
clubs, served in the United States navy
and also in Company c, First Michigan
Cavalry, during the civil war. By occu.
patton Mr.. Redfern is farmer, stu
dent and an effective speaker. He was
a strong advocate of the primary election
law, thorough believer in home rule for
cities and conservative revision of the
constitution. He is man of high char
acter, a successful farmer, and would no
doubt make a valuable member of the
convention if nominated and elected.

The two ball games which were
played OH the Davis Field, between
Ithaca and Alma. last Thursday, were
as good exhibitions of base ball as have
been played on local diamond this sea
son. The Alma team was for the most
part old high school stars and they were
in the game every minute. Both games
went TO Alma after the fans had given
up all hopes of them winning. The
morning game started at eleven and
was finished in about one hour and thirty
five minutes of play. The crowd in the
forenoon was fair one, but not as
large as was expected. Corwin of the
Sugar Co. pitched first class ball, and
when the lid was once screwed down it
was kept there the infield played snappy
ball giving the pitcher the support that
is so encouraging. At the end of the sixth
the score was 3 to / in Ithacas favor
but in the seventh and last inning the
home boys took brace and succeeded in
punching a series of hits that scored and
put them on the safe side of the score
card which read ) TO g.
The afternoon game opened the same
as the mornings with Ithaca in the lead
Snappy ball was in evidence during the
first six innings. Ithaca had tailed three
runs while the Alma boys seemed unable
to find the ball. In the sixth inning how
ever with three men on bases Alma Sc
cured bingle that was good for enodgh
runs TO tie the score From that time
on every thing was Alma. The visitors
could not hit effectively and anything
like an infield hit was slowed away with
ease. Corwin pitched Il innings during
the day and the last of the game found
him in good shape and fresh as at the
start The lineup for Alma was as
follows:
Anderson. c; Corwin, p; Goggin, IS
Reynolds, 10; Hayes, 2b Decker, 3b;
Bennett, Of; Anderson, Leonard and

LEGISLATORS AND THE CON-
VENTION.

The question has been raised as 20
whether or not members OF the leg
islature are eligible to membership in
the constitutional convention. This
question has never been passed upon
by the courts. but in view OF precc-
dent the assumption may be in favor
of admitting them, if elected
The first constitutional convention,
that of 1885, does not count but it
may be a matter Of interest to know
that one member of the last territorial
council had a seat in the convention
In the first convention of assent,
September 26-91 1896, were seven
members OF the first legislature and
several members OF the legislature
were members of the second conven-
ton of assent held in December fol-
lowing Anything connected with
this first convention. however, can
hardly be looked upon as a precedent
In the constitutional convention Of
1850, which framed the present con
stitution. there we're five members of
the legislature OF 1850 The legis-
lature was in session from January :
TO April and one of the acts was TO
provide for the constitutional convcn-
tion Delegates TO the convention
were elected May and the conven-
ton itself met June .. completing its
labors August Is As stated. five
members of the legislature held seats
in the convention
The legislature of 1s6, was i'm SEES
sion from January TO March 2s and
among its acts were one providing
for a constitutional convention. The
convention met May IS and its labors
were completed August %. In this
convention were u members Of the
legislature Its president was Charles
NJ. Croswell of Lenawee. who was
president pro TEN Of the senate.
Among other mcmbesr of the con
vention were Cyrus c. Luce, then a
state senator and afterward governor.
II II. Holt. then house member and
afterward lieutenant governor. and
George Willard member of the
house. and William 3. Williams Of
the senate, both aftcrward, in con
gress. no constitutional question
was raised as to their eligibility to the
convention
The attempted revision of 1879 was
by a commission appointed by the
governor and made mp of two mem
bers from each congressional district.
No member of the legislature Of 1873
had a place on the commission.
In view of prccedents members OF
the legislature. are eligible to election.
but would not be eligible to appoint
ment as members Of a convention to
revise the constitution
In choosing members OF the con
stitutonal convention. the question
should be not as to whether he is or
has been or hopes to be a member OF
the legislature but whether in char
actcr, standing and abilities he is
htted for the place. We want the
best men in the state for this convcn
ton, the ablest. the wisest, the most
patriotic, the sanest and If such can
be found among the members OF the
legislature the fact that they are
members of the Legislature should not
eliminate them from consideration
The legislative question should. in
other words be entirely subordinate
10 general and special qualifications
for the important work 10 be done

There is well indicated in the last legi-
stature one line of service which sensible
revision of the constitution could do for
the people OF Michigan That service
would be to provide some practical means
Of freeing The state legislature from con-
sideration and disposition of a very long
list Of city, village and township matters.
These matters are important to the com
munities interested, perhaps, but they are
not separately important to the people of
the whole state. They are in reality usu-
ally disposed Of by the local members of
the legislature in whose districts they be-
long, and they can as we'll through some
other means be disposed of by local au-
thority. Legislative sessions could be
shortened almost by half if the burden Of
having to do with affairs entirely local
could be otherwise disposed OF.

AN OPEN LETTER.

To the Boards of Trade and CONNER
cial Organizations OF Michigan:
Gentlemen
We belive the coming constitutional
convention is the most important
event that has claimed the attention
of the people of our state for a
quarter OF a century The charter OF
our liberties and privileges is to be
revised. or rewritten. The future
peace and development of our state
will largely depend upon the wisdom
and conservative patriotism OF the
men who shall sit in this convention.
1t is, therefore, of the utmost i'm
portance that only men qualified by
learning, or business experience, or
professional legal practice, or good
horse sense and unimpeachable integ-
rity be sent to this convention.
Our judgment is that we should not
endorse, as an organization, any one
for these positions, but rather strive
to awaken public sentiment to the
importance of this convention, and
endeavor to prevent unworthy men
being intrusted with this important
duty.
The question has been raised as
to whether a member of the present
legislature can legally sit in this con
vention. Be that as il may, it APP
pears to us that the members of the
present legislature should not seek
profit by their own act in providing
for this convention
1t should be understood that unless
conservatism and ripe experience are
the guiding influences OF this conven-
ton, its labors will be strongly OPP
posed when it comes before the peo-
pie for approval 1t further appears
TO us that the principal work should
be TO eliminate the deadwood of the
present constitution rather than seek
to introduce experimental features A
state constitution should. in our opin-
ION. be largely Invested OF legislative
features Ii should rather be a
strong, mighty frame which to build,
through the medium OF future legis-
latures. as emergencies arise and the
development of the state warrants.
In these days Of unrest and active
avolution, the tendency of many Of
our public men is to cut loose from the
moorings of the past and strike out
upon the unknown seas Of expert
ment. This tendency in legislative
action can be remedied without great
sacrifice. but when it comes to our
constitution we canot afford to ex-
pertinent Therefore it behooves us
TO see that the best talent in our sew
eral communities is given this inn
portant work TO do
The thinking people Of the state
viii await with anxiety the result OF
this convention and if it is not a con
scrvativc one which will appeal to
this class of citizens strong effort
will doubtless be made to defeat it
when it comes before them for rati6-
cation or rejection Would it not,
therefore. be better TO put forth that
effort now to send only men of ex-
