leader, who was here last night, said
with regard to the Constitution:
MANY Of the amendments which were
favorably acted upon by the Constltu-
tional Convention can still be Incor-
porated irto the basic law Of the state.
That the voters did not see tit to adopt
the Constitution AS IA whole IL largely
due, In my mind, to tho fact that the
convention refused to present each prop
osition separately, so that a discrim-
mating vote could he cast.
"On the last day of the session OF the
convention | urged upon It the impor-
tance OF presenting separately to the
voter the new features OF the Const!tu-
ton. Only twenty-seven of thai con-
vention voted in favor of my motion.
The result Is hat the good in the Con-
etitution has gone down with the l. '
and that the negative has been mo u
the controlling factor than the afirma-
tive will.
THE Legislature 10 convene In Janu-
airy will have the opportunity to present
10 the voter those propositions which the
convention adopted with practical una
nimity. This Is the plain duty. so that
these proposals may be voted on In
1917"
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-11-03

that their confidence that the men would
properly represent them at the polls
was not misplaced has been amply dem
onstrated by the victory to-day.
'Dr. Shaw has stated that the suf-
fragists could not lose because they could
not lose what they have never had. The
logic or this argument is faulty, for
losing what one has never had is OF daily
occurrence. No one would say that the
Philadelphia baseball team did not lose
me national championship, nor would
one say that Yale did not lose the foot
pail game on Saturday last. Farmers
lose a crop they never had by unfa vor-
abIe weather. A failure to win is a
loss according TO the Dictionaries.
