flee holders is directly Interested in
the amendments, and great many OF
tho office holders are vltally interest
cd Consequently there will be 10 ac-
tive leaders of a fight against the
adoption of the amendments, while III

perhaps many more ardent. interested
and powerful advocates Of the changes.

serious thing 1t Is to amend the or.
iganic law of the Commonwealth, and
think a long time before they heed the
arguments of those advocates who,
while they may be wholly sincere, are
apt to be biased by personal interest"
