Enroute to the park, while passing
through the Unionst section of the
city the automobile containing Chur-
chill was frequently stopped by
throngs of workingmen and women
whose lunch hour it was, and whose
ieering, catcalling and boolng was
terrific at times. I'he police guard
was compelled to cnarge time and

with anti-home rule inscriptions were
carried.

The authorities did not interfere
with the paraders but strong de-

were quietly placed at various points
where they could charge the crowds

Columbus, o., Feb. S.-The result
of our Investigations leads us to be-
lieve that there is nothing In the
ordinance of 1887 to embarrass the
deliberations or work of the fourth
constitutional convention. and we are
OF the opinion that the work OF the
convention in revising altering or
amending the present constitution
should proceed without cmbarras ssing
regard for the ordinance OF 1887.
Two lawyers of the judiciary com

ton, Judge Dennis Dwyer Of Mont.

II is pointed out that the United State
es supreme court has on some II oc-
casions denied the binding efficacy Of

arc based on these propositions: Tha,
one document, the United States con.
stitutlon, governs the United States
ana the states as ouch; thot all the
states are equal and no other docu-

to fear from that ordinance so far as
