Shall this Work Be Lost by
MISREPRESENTATION!

Shall this work be thrown away on the mlSrePle-
sensations of men who never appeared at any pupic
hearing, nor attended a session OF the Convenuon'
nor sought to find the points of sympathy and under
standing and cooperation among the diverse popu-
lation and interests of this great State!
Many of these Interpretations you can an
swer for yourself by consulting the proposed consul
tuition.
For instance, if you hear that the city home rule
provision contains no home rule, all you need 10 90
Is TO read Article XIV of the Constitution, and coupe
that reading with the fact that various selfish groups
of public employees are opposing the Constitution De-
cause they do not desire to have the cities tat employ
them control them in the interests OF the puphC
service.
If you are told that the proposed Constitution
pives away the AdirondackS read Article V!l, Sec
ion D and see for yourself. Then you Will know
that the man who makes such statement has eitl,ef
never read the article, or is telling lie:
If you are told that the rights OF citizens nave
been put in jeopardy read Article l., Sections 10 0,
and see for yourself that the proposed Constitution
retains every guarantee of civil rights contained III
the present Constitution, together with the ADDED
guarantee of the equal protection of the laws
AT this final hour il is impossible to trace ana
answer the Misrepresentation born OF ignorance
Smsnicion or self-interes From these we appear 10
the facts-facts which we have endeavored TO pace
in the hands OF the individual citizen, not at tne
eleventh hour but in ample time for his consideration.

Constitution which is too progressive for reaction

close representing that next forward step the improve

its result not alone because of encouraging reports
from every part of the State, but also because of our

SMITH NOT ENDORSED BY IA

The Committee Of Fourteen has not
Endorsed AL Smith or anyone else for
Sheriff, according TO Frederick H.
Within, one of It's members. Mr..
Whitin's statement was made last night
after some of Mr.. Smiths too enthusi-
astic friends had made public letter
supposedly indorsing the former As
semblyman for Sheriff. They might
have got away with it, too. II some one
hadn't discovered that it bore the date
Of June 20. last.
The letter said so many nice things
about AL that it seemed shame to
break up the illusion. Mr.. Within ex-
planned that il was written while Mr..
Smith was just plain member OF the
Assembly. and. although the nice things
said were all right at the time. the
Committee of Fourteen hadn't gone 30
far as to indorse Al for Sheriff.
Letters from Samuel Gompers, PRES
dent of the American Federation OF La
Dor. and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. in
dorsing Mr.. Smith, were also made pub
lie last night. but they were Of recent
date.

Opposition to the
Proposed Constitution Analysed

We are confident that the proposed ConStltu-
ton will be adopted despite the great array OF specal
and selfish interests combined against it. This array
includes some public service corporations which DO
not desire to have present evasion of taxation pre-
vented. 1t includes some city employees who do not
wish to be responsible to the public that employs
them 1t includes some State employees who do NOT
desire to suffer any inconvenience in making the
Government of the State more efficient. 1t includes
some deuded Spanish War veterans, disgruntled BE-
cause this Constitution fails to confer upon them
special privilege 1t includes some moving picture
concerns which wish to be free from any regulation
in the interests Of the morals of the children OF the
State 1t includes some of the Tamnany delegates
TO the Constitutional Convention who, after full and
fair consideration of proposed Constitutional changes,
could find no preSenable grounds for dissent; but at
the close seek to take advantage of the combination
of selfish opposition and to capitalize it at the price
of repudiang the constitutional revision pledges
made by the Democratic Party. It includes imprac-
tca enthusiasts of one idea who believe that the State
can be saved only by the adoption of their particular
hobbies 1t includes few Progressves dsgrunted
at the fact that the proposed Constitution is SO soundy
progressive as to deprive them of any political issue

stick to the 10 per cent Of ten years
ago.
I've have made no Wild guess. We
have framed up no false statement.
We canvassed. We found our million
women.
The largest number 81 men ever
voting at any one election was In the
Presidential election Of 1872 .5s7 1888.
Even though women should vote In as
large a proportion rs men, million
women form an easy majority OF the
body Of prospective women voters Of
this state.
The persistent attitude OF the anti
sufraGists in face OF the phenomenal
progress Of the suffrage movement
brings 10 mind tho famous comment Of
Julius Cmsar when he said: Men be-
lieve, for the most part, that which
they wish"

JOHN DEWEY. professor OF philoso
pbv. Columbia University.

From the particular point OF
view Of the educator. find that
the fact that since women have
had the opportunities OF getting
an education il is logical extern
sion TO give them the right to par
ticipato in government. Il IS only
natural that women should apply
10 practical matters the history,
the political economy, the social
sciences, which they are studying.
just as men apply the results OF
their education 10 politics, so
women should apply their knowl-
edge.
Most Of the philanthropic work
has been done by women OF the
leisure class. They should have
the right TO vote.
Women teachers should have
the vote. Eighty per cent Of our
teachers who train the coming
voters are women. To give the
children proper training for their
duries as citizens, the teachers
should have personal experience in
government. Only then can they
win the respect of their pupils and
speak to them with certainty.

COMMITTEE FOR THE ADOPTION OF
THE CONSTITUTION
To tho Electors of the State of New York:
Twcnty-three Washington Avenue,
Albany.

The fate of the proposed Constitution rests en-
irely with the common sense of the people OF the
State You must judge the motives that at the
eleventh hour lead opponents of the Constitution to
expend $3.50 900 in paid advertising to circulate mis-
representations concerning it.
With extraordinary impartiaity, most of the
newspapers of the State have been open to any eSt-
mate argument on either side. Over threeourtflS OF
the daily press of the State is now edoraly support
ing the proposed Constitution ,.:.
Outside of any money spent today in adyertls-
ing, our total expenditures will be about $500
spent in printing and circulating copies OF me ION,
stituton, and truthful and accurate statements ana
arguments concerning it. We have pledged ourselves
10 file with the Secretary of State an accounting VI
our expenditures and to mail copy to every citizen
who contributes to our work SO far as we nave
been able to learn none Of the forces opposed to the
Constitution have similarly offered to take the puoH'
into its confidence

In country where the people

not afford 20 have half OF the peo-

cannot afford 20 have the children

there is another reason why
women should vote as soon as pos
sible. This nation is just about 70

TOO stubborn TO let any boss In
