CONSTITUTION CHANGES
BRING ON HOT DEBATE
Anti Suffraeists Offer Advice and Gle,
ment Forces Want to Delay
Amendment Ratification.

Montpelier, Aug. 24.-p-oceedings
here today before the commission to
revise the constitution partook of the
nature of debating society, spirited
discussions being had on the proposi-
tions to redistrict the state into sena-
torial districts; to lengthen the term
of state legislators to take the time
lock" off the constitutions TO do away
with jury trials in minor cases; on
equal suffrage, and to prevent rati-
fication of amendments to the federal
constitution, excepting by Legisla-
ture that had been elected after the
proposed amendment has been sub
mitted.
The latter was proposed by Walter
S. Fentcn of Rutland, who said the
ratification OF federal amendments
by Legislature not elected on that
issue was dangerous and contrary to
the principles of representative gov
ernment.
Mrs. Wayne NJ Reed of Montpelier
protested against the suffrage amend
ment and asked that the people be
consulted before such amendments
were ratified

rage tod the story of the organized
suffrage lobby which had deliberately
gone on record as opposed to letting

She said the next step would be the

amendment. The present method she
urged, leaves the country at the
