There We're only four automobiles
in the United States in 1896. There
are several millions in the country
today and each one is burning gas
with a rapidity that makes the pro-
ducers of that article hustle to keep
up the supply. In the next ten years
and maybe less-fiying machines
will be SO common that no one will
stretch his neck to look at the boats
as they sail through space.

THE SEVERAL DEMOCRATIC PRES
DENTAL POSSIBILITIES

Some time ago The Free Press
published brief biographies of pro-
minent republicans who are aspirants
for the presidential nomination or
who are being urged by their ad-
mirers as suitable persons for the
nomination. For the information or
our readers We take pleasure in pre-
senting herewith brief biography Of
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1920-04-09
There is approximately $500 900

left in the fund now When the form
er audit was made. Si4S.000 had been
paid out under act of the legislature
to national guardsmen who served on
the Mexican border. We are still re-
ceiving and paying claims on that &C
count, and have paid out more than
100000 to the guardsmen. Our 9TH
er expenditures, all of them fully ac
counted for, amount TO about $500 900
covering various war time activities.
There are now only two employees
beside myself. Mr.. Sullivan should
have known better than to make that
statement. There is no excuse for
such Misrepresentation" Now the
question arises will Sullivan have the
manhood to admit that he misrep-
resented the facts? He has been
caught in the act of circulating lie.
Will he be decent enough to retract
the falsehood?

MOVEMENT FOR 4
STATE|GGNYEEII)H
Constitution Amended Four
Times Since it Was.
Adopted
GREAT CODE OF LAW"
Method of Publishing Proposed
Amendments in Each Paper in the
State Unsatisfactory.

Richmond Feb. 20.-Classifying the
constitution Of Virginia as "great
code of laws" Senator cannon took up
| the cudgels yesterday in defense OF
his bill which places the question Of
calling another constitutional conven-
! tion before the voters at the Novem-
Der election. He called attention to the
fact that the constitution has been
amended four times since it was
drafted and that six additional amend
ments were passed by the general as
ssmoly at the 1918 session.
All of these have been published
he said, at great cost to the state,
1t was in consideration of the ex-
pense and also Of the unsatisfactory
method of amending the constitution
that the senior senator from Rich
mond introduced his bill.
The method Of amending, he said.
had not worked at all well. After
The general assembly has concluded
that an amendment is necessary and
has passed joint resolution accomp-
lishing the desired aim, the amend
ment is advertised in every paper in
uhe state and submitted to the pao--
pie at the polls.
The fallacy of letting the people
decide on these proposed changes,
said Senator Cannon, is that net over
five out of every 100 reads the amend
ments, the consequence being fthas
they are forced. to vote on scaa athine
shat they know nothing about. Thi.
results, he said in the reiect:sn (
amendments which would be adopted
if they were thoroughly understood.
Senator West opposed the bill.
pointing e the experience of New
York state, where the work dane al
the convention was rejected by tn
general assembly, as proof of his ar
gument.
Senator Leedy asked the senate"
from Suffolk several questions.
Senator West had stated that few
Of tne ten proposed amendments rev
pending would be adopted, saying
this il an effort TO minimize the COS.
Of the present system.
Senator Leedy asked if he IVES not
\ patron Of two resolutions amending
the constitution.
Senator West replied in the affir-
native.
"At that rate" said the senator
from Page, "there should be c.ghsy
good reasons in this body for calling
the convention" He then asked l..H'
if he did not, "as good Democrat
advocate submitting the question t,
the people for final decision.'
Adjournment was, taken in thc
midst of the argument and the mat
ter will probably be voted on today.
