REFERENDUM IN
CONSTITUTION
Matters Now Troub-
ling Constitution Makers
of Territory.

/ Santa Fe, \. NJ, Oct. zS.-The con-
stitutionaI convention early this morn
in4 adopted the entire article of "a
sections on the legislative department
as proposed by the majority of the
committee.
The Republicans stood together
against the initiative despite the hope
of the Democrats that Republican in
surgency would develop on this ques-
ton
Tired out by the Il 4nours' session
and debate, which lasted until this
morning, the constitutional convention
held no session today, but Will meet
again tomorrow.
Towards the last the debate last
night brought out bitter personalities
were passed.
The Court Situation.
\ The constitutional convention faces
several other very serious matters
relative to the judiciary, that have yet
to be settled
I The convention, or at least the sub
oommittee on judiciary, decided at one
time that it would recommend an ap-
rointive supreme court, but there was
e great cry from many quarters and
the matter was opened up. 1t has now
to make the judges elective, to hold
office for a period of six years. I'm
der the appointive plan, they were to
be named for II years. Whether the
convention will turn down the last
plan agreed upon by the sub-commit-
tee is not known, but many are urging
II to adopt the appointive system as
one more free from politics than an
elective one 1t is argued that judge
oI1 e
orally not good at propounding the
law and that it would be better to
nave a poor politician AID d good .u1ge
appointed to the bench tnan to have
good politician and q poor judge elect
ed The-rule- of-the-people plea Of
those who would elect the judges, how
ever, has a strong following and the
convention will most likely adopt the
elective Judiciary plan
Grand Jury System.
The abolition of the grand jury
system is another matter of much i'm
portance that is occupying attention.
This has a fair chance TO win, as it
has many advocates, although there
is a strong following for the grand
jury system. Those who would abolish
the system are abusing it as a relic of
barbarism where a body of men, an
swerable to nobody but themselves, is
empowered to blast a mans reputation
by returning an indictment against him
on eX paTte evidence, in star chamber
sessions, where everybody is sworn to
secrecy. They argue that it serves no
purpose that could not be served with
out it and that it does much harm,
often by returning indictments that
can never be sustained with the evil
dence. A guilty man can always be
convicted, without the necessity of a
grand jury indictment, it is argued,
while an innocent man has a chance
to produce his witnesses and prove
himself innocent without the ignoniny
Of a grand jury indictment hanging
over him, accusing him of a crime Of
which the majority Of people usually
