him to put on his socks and shoes

He hopes the health officials will inter
cede for such a boon.

plause. every one in the room seemed III
accord with them.
DR. Butler said the choosing OF the
delegates TO the constitutional conven-
ton of next June was far more important
than the selection Of candidates. from
Governor down. next fall.
The speaker referred 10 the Slight MA
jority by which the people decided 10
hold the convention, vote 5o,"D iess
than the number cast FOR Mayor Ml'che'
last fall, a majority he described as 50
small-if IL was an honest majority at

He said the work attending the re-
making Of the constitution was secon'
only In importance to the making OF inc
Constitution of the United States, which
he held I'D as a model to the men VINO
shall be chosen as delegates TO the COM
ing convention.
We cannot afford 20 have these posts
(of delecates) treated with neglect or
made 10 feed some personal or locdi
ambition" said Dr. Butler.
He said the delegates should be men
Of affairs, Of sound judgment. OF recog-
nized ability. respected as leaders open
minded. and broad-minded.
He said the great temptation in framing
constitution Is to put into il details
not worthy of The dignity Of consutu-
tional law, matters that would better be
left 10 the discretion Of the Legislature.
Ore Of the big problems facing the dele
gates. he said, would be the question OF
the short ballot. Like most students and
advocates of the short ballot, DR.. Butter
would have only two elected state OIL
cjals-the Governor and the Lieutenant
Governor. All administrative heads OF de-
partments he would have appointed oy
the Governor and subject 10 his removal
He would give them a seat in the Legis-
lature. without any vote, but with power
10 debate on the floor matters affecting
their respective departments. In turn ne
would make them-as are the members OF
the British ministry-responsive TO ques-
tons OF members of the Legislature.
He said that unless something was done
very soon to bring about an interrelation-
ship between the executive and the lesis-
lative branches of the government the
legislatures would break down.
