IGNORING THE GERMANS.

Ing the Democratic party In Chicago
have decided that they can get along
without the German vote. They have
put up a county ticket without Ger.

they don't need the Germans" This
sort Of Know Nothingism may be pop.
ular with the gang. but It is not popu.
lar with the people. Fair play Is q
Jewel and in this cosmopolitan COM
munity every nationality deserves to
be recognized on q big county ticket.
The Germans are not the only people
prescribed. There Is not ono man
named on the gang county ticket who
had q native American grandfather.
Native Americans are tabooed. Irish
Democrats all over Chicago are indig.

Rich Contractors and Graft Hunters
for using methods which bring men
Of other nationalities into the belief
that the Irish want all the Offices. This
Is not true. The Irish.American ia
the most generous OF men and he be-
lieves in the elevation OF worthy tel
low citizens regardless Of the place OF
their birth. This noble sentiment does
not appear to have taken root In the
small minority OF Irishmen who com
pose the Office Holders Union and
the Contract Extractors' Political AS
ISOLATION. These fellows, intoxicated
with success, drunk with power, and
proud of newly acquired wealth, be
lieve In putting no man into Office who
will not agree beforehand to do their
bidding.
The Germans OF Chicago are to be
congratulated upon the fact that the
Gang Machine has wilfully ignored
them.

FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CON
vEN1ION.

Illinois needs a new constitution.
The Citizens Association Of Chicago,
in its forty.first annual report, has the
following to say on the subject. which
voices the sentiments OF many good
citizens:
Greatly to our regret the General
Assembly failed to submit to the peo-
pie of the state the question OF hold.
ing a constitutional convention. The
convention joint resolution introduced
by Senator Edward c. Curtis was
adopted by the Senate on March 18th
by an almost unanimous vote, But
when the matter came to vote In
the House on March 31st, the vote on
the Joint resolution was 80 In favor
and 80 opposed, with 20 members abb
sent or not voting. Thus the meas
ure failed by the narrow margin Of ten
votes TO receive the 102 votes con.
shutting the two-thirds required by
law.
I'VE are informed by the officers OF
the Constitutional Convention League,
which had the convention campaign
IN manu-, tHht the iedsuc hau iSSSi'S"
assurances from 105 members OF the
House that they favored the submis'
sion OF the convention question to the
people; and that most OF these were
in the form OF written pledges to vote
for the necessary Joint resolution. Ac'
cording TO the league, II representa-
tiyes who had given such assurances
either opposed the resolution or failed
10 vote on 1t. Fourteen Of these, nine
OF whom represent Cook county dis
trlcts, had given unqualified written
pledges.
"Our belief in the necessity Of hold
ing a constitutional convention has
not been shaken by this temporary de-
feat. Sooner or later-and certainly
before very long-the small minority
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1916-08-12

of the legislature which has had the
temerity to refuse to allow the PEG.
pie Of Illinois to decide whether they
desired a constitutional convention
will have to give way.
I'VE shall continue to do our ut.
most to bring about the calling Of a
constitutional convention because we
are convinced that the convention
plan affords the most practicable
means Of securing a shorter ballot;
better and more economical local gov.
eminent through needed consolidation
OF the city, county. Sanitary District
and other taxing bodies Of Cook coun.
ty; and broader charter powers for
Chicago that are necessary to the
city's welfare"
