The Maricopa County Com

The Maricopa County Com- mercial Club has adopted a constitution for the new state of Arizona; the socialist party has issued a statementof what it should be; the labor party IS also framing one, and there are several precincts yet to hear from, says the Mesa Free Press. There really seems to be little work ahead for the delegates to the constitutional convention. Other people have the preliminaries all ar ranged and the delegates can simply pick out a constitu- ton, sign their names and re- turn to their homes. It sim plifies matters wonderfully, and should greatly reduce the expense of holding the con- vention.
