Post thinks it just as cheap to get the

to adopt the constitution Clayton
Potter thinks there are some things
that are all right and some that are
not. Mr.. Love says the people did
not get the things they petitioned for,
such as the prohibition clause, as the
liquor men had their agents there to
stop it, and the tobacco firms had their
money and agents to stop the anti
cigarette clause. They also turned
down the woman's suffrage clause, as
they knew if women were allowed to
vote it would be prohibition. But
clauses not asked for by the people,
such as the raising of salaries of officers,
etc., were obtained.
