THE SUFFRAGETTE PARADE

To ihc Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: \ correspondent in a letter to The
Tribune objects 10 the presence of indian
sduaws In the inaugural parade No doubt
the Indians and their women were looked
upon by the crowds in Washington as "A

way they looked upon the antics of the
Young women who danced for their delec-
tation
Women have been warned that II they
persist in acting like men they will be
treated like men. While any breach of
order is deplorable. nevertheless II is "a
fact that men frequently interfere with
each other by "guyinG' marching clubs
and trying Ia break up professions. with
the result oftentimcs of bruises and brok-

To show that most of the opposition To

NO TRICKS!

Any attempt 10 play political lrlckS
with the question of revising the state
constitution is likely 10 Ovcrreach IL
self Against the advice of David Il.
Hill the Democrats twenty years ago
tried to grab constitutional conven-
ton. only to find themselves in hope
less minority. Party ties sit much
more lightly now than they did then
and the voters are in no mood to have
the constitution made over by ram
many. or to have the revision used rs
club TO keep municipal reformcrS
apart
Delegates TO constitutional convcn-
ton ought fairly to represent all
shades of political opinion and he free
from obligation to any political ma
chine. They should he elected on Il
separate ballot, preferably without
party designations. and no party
should he allowed to have all the
delegates t-large. Tammany'S plan
for constitutional convention needs
careful watching. If it does not make
fair provision for minority representa-
ton and for an election which will not
interfere with the free expression oi
popular opinion on local issues in the
municipal campaign it should be voted
down when submitted TO the people IN
June. Important as revision may ne.
il might better he delayed than he
made subservient TO the selfish and
corrupt aims of Tammany.
