0isfranohissment Legislation.
Just what shape the proposed dis
franchisement legislation will take is
involved in considerable doubt. at
least in so far as any knowledge the
general public has on the subject.
1t may be and doubtless is definitely
outlined in the minds of the governor
elect and those closely associated
with him in the matter as to just
what sort Of a bill on this subject
viii he introduced. and The general
belief is, that some sort of dis
franchisement measure in the shape,
of course, of an amendment to the
constitution will be submitted to the
people. because, by an overwhelming
vote. they have pronounced in favor
lot it. OF course grave care VIII have
to be taken in the preparation Of this
measure. and there is no doubt that
.ie will encounter a considerable di-
versity Of opinion, particularly in the
house OF representatives, where it is
likely to meet with some opposition,
Though in view of the action Of the
people in the primary of last year, it
is not believed that this win be suf-
fcient to defeat the measure. 1t is
said that the proposed disfranchise-
ment bill has already been drafted
under the direction Of Governor-elect
