Protests Proposed Change.

Il regard the proposed change as I'M
suitable to the country's circumstances
If it is decided upon hastily. serious OBJ
stacles will arise. The citizens object
naturally only to strengthen the foun-
dations of the state and increase the
prestige of the country. If the opinion
of the majority is consulted good and
proper means undoubtedly will be
found.
Furthermore, as the constitution of
the republic is now being drafted, by
due consideration of the country's con-
dition and by careful thought and ma
ture discussion a suitable and practi-
cable law will be devised. l CONNIE end

sixty men to whom the so-called peace
society has presented a petition, circu-
