An authority on the, labor question

Editor Collar Chronicle:
Please allow me space for this expla-

a constitutional convention is before

assigned by the governor being the f.
nancial condition of the State govern

income for the State, and suggests a
convention.
l will not vote for any convention un-
less the draft of its work be submitted
to the voters of the State, and am of
the opinion this would be money thrown
away, because do not believe q con-
vention could be held that would not be
dominated by the combined forces of
the governor and the New Orleans
ring; and any draft of a constitution
the above named combination would
write would be rejected by the people.
Therefore, / have decided to vote no.
However, l would be pleased to hear
from as many of my constituents as
possible.

why We need a constitutional conven-
ton at this time, having voted same
down in 1914. All the information
have been able to get is that we must
have new sources of revenue. This
means more money to be raised by a
constitutional convention. / suggested

fore me at this writing l will vote

pense at this time. We mnst get value

that the country people think it time
to rest until after the election and give
che candidates a chance to declare their
positions.
