mfr. Sweitzer will put the finishing
touches to democratic harmony" reads
the statement. There really Is little
left for the candidate himself to do In
the way Of harmonizing the elements
that were opposed at the primaries at
which Mr. Sweitzer was nominated by
1916 plurality. Practically all of the
Harrison leaders and the great major.
ity OF the Harrison rank and file have
expressed themselves as loyal to the
party and determined to support the
democratic ticket The meeting Of the
Harrison wing of the Cook County
Democracy on Monday night was proof
conclusive Of the attitude Of the rank
and file In the Harrison ranks.
THE majority Of the Dunno men
] supported Mr.. Sweitzer in the pr.
maries In spite OF the attitude Of their
leaders who were with Mayor Harri.
son. Since the primaries both Gov.
Dunno and Senator James Hamilton
Lewis, the real leaders Of the Dunno
men, have announced their intention
Of doing all they can to elect Mr..
Sweitzer. The Dunno ward leaders
are also lining up for Mr.. Sweitzer.
They plan to maintain the organiza.
tons they have formed. but to have
these organizations cooperate with the
Sweitzer clubs In the various wards. "

FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL coNvEN.
TlON.

The Chicago Eagle calls on all good
citizens to fight for a new State Con.
stitution. The Citizens Association
voices our sentiments when 1t says:
1T is universally admitted that the
present Constitution Of Illinois. adopt.
ed forty.three years ago, has long
been nntgrown: and that the slow and
difficult process required to amend It
has for many years seriously retarded
the progress of the people Of the State
by depriviEg them Of the power to
properly meet new governmental
needs arising from the changed condi.
lions. The accumulated evils arising
from this situation have now become
30 numerous and acute that adequate
relief can be obtained only by revising
the Constitution In such way that 1t
will cease to be a hindrance to good
government. Such necessary reforms
as the abolition Of the system OF mi.
nority representation In the Legisla'
ture; revision OF the texation system;
consolidation Of local governing and
taxing bodies; and reduction in the
number OF elective officers can only be
secured without intolerable delay by
undermining the State Constitution.
Adequate powers Of home rule for
Chicago can also best be secured by
this Statewide method
For forty years proposed amend
ments have killed each other of. One.
third Of the membership Of either
house has been able effectually to
block any desired change in the Con-
stitution. The irksome restrictions
imposed by the present Constitution
bear down upon Chicago with almost
crushing force. Because Of them Chi
cago Is compelled to maintain, at q
vast unnecessary expense, three sep
arate and distinct governmental
bodies covering practically the same
territory; viz: the City, County and
Sanitary District. In our opinion thu
time 10 ripe now for holding . Con
stitutional Convention In Illinois .,
the best means Of affordins adequate
relief to the people Of the City ans
State. Al the next session Of the Leg
islature we will do everything In ou
power to bring about the calling o
such q Convention, which this Asso
citation has favored for many years
