January 8, 1918, a convention
will assemble in Indianapolis for
the purpose of revising the con-

The reconstruction of the
basic law of a commonwealth, it
is needless to say, is q most i'm

would seem, to leave the consti-
tuition of the state as it now
stands than to go about its revis-
ion in q haphazard manner.
But there is a great need of
undermining Indiana's basic law
and the citizens of this great
state must give intelligent con-
sideration to all plans for the re-
construction of their constitu-
tion.
Organise Wayne County Forum.

Wayne county will be entitled to
