SEVEN YEARS DELAY
IN SUPREME COURT
JUDGE CLINE URGES REFORM
AND MoOISETTE VOTES
BY MAIL.
HAVE TWO CONSTITUTIONS
nodsette Would Have Constitution
Changed So That Man Moving In
to This State Would Not Be
Deprived of Suffrage.

Jennings, La.-At a meeting of the
Rotary Club for its weekly luncheon at
the Madeline Hotel, and a program
arranged by j. w. Heinen was pre-
sented This program was Some Of
the Reason Tor the Constitutional Con-
yention." Judge Jerry Cline, who is
holding court here at the present
time, was introduced and he spoke of
some Of the objects of the convention,
and touched particularly upon the ex-
/ scutiye, legislative and judicial depart
ments He said, I'VE in reality have
two constitutions at the present time,
end that we are badly in need of a
new one"
He said he was in favor of the con-
gHtution being so formed that it would
dive the governor the right to ap-
POINT his cabinet such as secretary of
state and attorney general. He said
the judicial department was entirely
inadequate and poorly manned, and it
vas quite possible for a case to be
tspt In the Supreme Court for six
years.
10. Modisette was also one Of the
speakers. He said the constitution
should be changed so a man moving
Into this state should not be deprived
d the right Of suffrage for two years.
He thought any man or woman moving
INTO this state should have the right
% vote after having shown his inten-
tica OF making this his home, in one
year. He sprung something new on
the club by saying that he believed
tho ballot would never have sanctity
4 should have until the voting was
done In the home, and that he was in
hyor OF having elections by mail. He
nade the statement that this was not
new idea Of his, but that it had been
b use in different points in Europe
already.
J. II. Heinen, who is a delegate to
he Constitutional Convention, said
some OF the questions before the con-
vsntion would be taxation, assess.
nents, state institutions, public
sshools. the port of New Orleans; in
net he said there were about dozen
very important questions that would
time before this body. He said that
e thought 1t was time that New Or |
sans was coming back into Louisiana,
nd there should be no law that would |
include New Orleans from the state"
uaf II should not be separate and |
spart, but New Orleans should be in |
lssisiana Just the same as Shreveport, |
hpn Rouge. Lake Charles and other
nportant commercial centers.
He said with the great port in the
ueropolis ofthe South that the popu-
enn should be four million instead
aiour hundred thousand.
At this meeting Charles R. Hous-
ne, who is to leave for France in
ecut forty-five days, was selected as
delegate to the international con-
saton, which will be held in Edir-
Rsn. Scotland. in June. d. c. Richie
- also selected as a delegate.
