DU5UIssoN SAYS LET'S KILL
THE CONVENTION CALL
no the Editor star-Progress:

To the Editor Star-Progress:
l am opposed to the call for con-
stitutienal convention which is to be
submitted to the vote of the people on
the I'd of next month and l intend to
vote against it. Here are some of my
reasons for SO doing:
A constitution should embody the
framework of government. 1t should
establish the different departments
thereof, provide how they shall be
constituted, place limitations upon
their power, and guarantee to the PEG.
pie certain inalienable rights.
As it should be the charata of the
peoples rights, it should manifestly
be adopted by them ana by them alone.
1t would be impracticable for the en-
tire body of the people to frame the in
strument. Hence it is customary for
the people to delegate that task to a
small body Of men commonly called a
convention. When the convention has
finished its work, it is submitted to
the people for acceptance or rejection.
If it meets with the sal of their ap-
proval and they accept it, it is their
constitutional adopted by them and by
no one else.
That the adoption of new constitu-
ton is a function Of the people is
clearly set forth in the following quo
tation from Cooley on Constitutional
