who came to Chicago to-day to pre-
side at a two days session of that
body.
while I have no information re-
garding President Wilson's intentions
about becoming a candidate for a
third term, 1 believe that the ques-
tion largely rests on the fate of the
League of Nations" said Chairman
Cummings. 'If the League of Ma
tions should by any chance be defeat
ed, and this to mind is unthinkable.
the pressure brought to bear on the
President to run again would be
very great, and I feel certain that he
would be reelected. II the League
OF Nations is successful, 1 do not
think the pressure would be nearly as
great"

soon as passed on first reading in

Protests Heard
Protests against the progress of
legislation in the General Assembly
and demands for development of a
legislative program to be carried out
as rapidly as possible were voiced in
the House to-day by several mem
bers. The speakers declared that
their hopes of the short business
session" based on inaugural and 9TH
er speeches had disappeared. and
charges that bills were being need
lessly held up were made.
Mr.. Showalter, Union, rising to a
question of personal privilege, said
the Legislature had been marking
time" for five months. I'VE have
passed an amount of very minor leg
islation and each bill has cost the
State about $325. We were told there
would be short business session.
We have been patiently waiting for
a legislative program. We are not
informed as to what is to come" said
he
The Union county member said that
the Governor and Speaker had both
advocated short sessions and that II
there is a program now is the time
to bring il out. He said that the
members of the House were willing
to work, but were all at sea, without
information when adjournment will
come. anxious to cooperate with the
Senate. but not enjoying the con-
dence of the Upper House. Members
are expressing much dissatisfaction.
, Let's get down to business. Let the
committees report out the important
legislation and let the rag time bills
die. Let us get down to work and
stop wasting time and funds" he
concluded.
Mr.. Wallace, Lawrence, said he was
a long way from home and believed
the time had come when the Senate
should take the House into it's con-
fidence. The House, he declared was
being laughed at by citizens, and
While ne ulu not duNoCdtt
unless necessary" he asserted he
felt that the House should be sup

something.
Both Messrs. Showalter and Wal

of Speaker Spangler and upheld his
insistence on a business program.
Mr.. Dunn. Philadelphia. said less
work had been done than he had
known in years, and feared more de-

date of final adjournment.

Mr.. Wallace said that he realized

MEET HERE TO
DISCUSS NEW
CONSTITUTION
Changes in Basic Law of the
Commonwealth Are
Proposed

Citizens from all sections of Penn
sylvania are meeting this afternoon
iE the Penn Harris Hotel for the
purpose of forming the Peoples
Association of Pennsylvania" a nom
partisan organization, which aims to
promote revision of the State Con-
stitution.
A formal dinner will be held at
5.45 o'clock at which time action
will be takeE on the business of the
afternoon. Prominent speakers will
be in attendance at this session, in
cluding William Draper Lewis, of
Philadelphia; A. Leo We'll, president
of the Pittsburgh Voters League;
John A. Phillips, vice-president
State Federation of Labor; Clifford
Pinchot, William T. Greasy, of the
Pennsylvania Grange; George F.
Foss, general secretary of the Penn
sylvania State Chamber of Com
merce, and Mrs. Edward w. Bid
die, past president of the State Fede-
ration of Pennsylvania Women.
Plans for the organization of such
an associations were made following
the introduction in the Senate of the
bill establishing commission to
study the subject of constitutional
revision.
The association proposes to unite
forces working for good government
! in Pennsylvania, in permanent or
ganization in every county of the
State; to collect and disseminate in
formation regarding our present
system of State, county ard local
government so that needs cars be
presented to the Legislature and the
proposed constitutional convention;
to investigate and spread informa-
ton concerning progressive methods
in use in other States in order that
the people may judge as to whether
or not they should be adopted in
Pennsylvania.
The purpose of to-days meeting
| is to make an effort to unite all ele-
ments which favor constitutional re-
vision in an organization to co-ope-
rate with the Governors Commits
sion. The Peoples Association will
be the clearing house through which
various bodies will come together for
discussion of desirable constitutional
changes County committees are
| beiEg formed over the State to study
local needs and find out what the
] people want in q new constitution,
The aims of the organization, as
stated in the call for the meeting
reads:
The coming constitutional con-
vention will recognize, among other
| facts. that the laws and procedures
governing our State and counties are
past generation, and contain de-
fects that carr be remedied only
through changes in fundamental
law. But unless we begin at once
to arouse interest in the affairs Of
local government, there is grave
probability that the work of the con-
vention will prove barren or that the
people will be uEready to accept the
new proposals at the polls"
