Waiting to be Revisited.

The New Orleans Press is now bus,
handing out yelled threats to defeat the cal
for the constitutional convention. The rea
|son for this sudden change of heart seems
to be due to failure of the Press to i'm.
press upon the ward leaders the necessity
for leaving off the list certain delegates
whose names have been suggested by the
ward leaders. There is much uncertainty
as to what action the leaders will take in
regard to the demands of the Newspapers
but the fact must be apparent that the
leaders are not willing to sacrifice their poli-
teal prestige for the sole purpose of having
a convention. No doubt they think that if
a pie is to be cut that they must be at the
cutting. Referring to past issues of the
New Orleans papers we had reached the
conclusion that the calling of the 9n.yention
was the paramount necessitN and along
with other country papers (Which were
originally opposed to the calD we; had about
concluded to acquiesce in the plan of the
state and city administration. The CITY Press
was largely responsible for this attitude on
tne part OF the country papers. Imagine
our CONSERVATION when we find the New
orleans Press, the head of the movement for
a convention, getting ready to use its in
1uence to kill the whole scheme.
We hope that the war on the convan-
hon is not for the purpose of coercing or
oluf1lng the ward leaders, but whether It is
or not Tor that purpose, the city papers are
likely to wake up to the fact that thew will
get valuable assistance from the country in
1lllng the convention, if that is their n1r- :
,ose. The people are now willing to pol
mead and have this convention and make
ne best they can out of it, but if it must he i
