Amendments to Constitution 70 be

The suggestion has been made, IN
view Of the fact that the rank and hle
Of the voters Of the state are apt to
lost sight Of the Importance Of the
three constitutional amendments upon
which they are to be asked to vote at
the regular state election for congress
men next November. unless some pa
triotio and unselhsh statesman volun-
tarily takes the field and electioneers
IN the interest Of the proposed change,
that some arrangement be made so
that the state press will cooperate IN
keeping them before the people from
week to week. It Is a well-known fact
that az the congressional elections, as
rule. where the candidates have been
nominated in the primaries, the turn
out OF voters Is away below anything
like sc per cent. Of the registered vote
Of the state, and unless some way Is
devised to arouse interest in the mat

tha the voter, either deliberately or

eiI er way and thus virtually is a vote
cdA against It.

to alter the constitution that all
amendments and changes submitted

sion Of q legislature and carried at
the polls, shall be inserted at the
next succeeding legislative session.
Amendment No. 3, and most impor-
