The old constitution Of the state Of
| Illinois is good enough for me. Now
II the new constitution OF Missouri Ia
| submitted as single proposition ev-
| cry voter who Is strongly opposed to
| any one section will vote no"
/ Enough will be opposed to various
sections to defeat It by as heavy
| voee as the Illinois constitution was
beaten by. Missouri is more conserva-
| live than Illinois. The negative
| minority" which votes mo" is larger
in this state. 1t IS almost majority.
| So far the work Of the convention
| lacks inspiration. 1t does not chal-
| / lenEo attention. 1t does not inspire
anybody with enthusiasm. The new
] / constitution should be submitted to
| the voters BY sections. Otherwise it
| will be defeated by the people of Mis-
| -ouri.
J A man Is needed whose leadership
cant inspire anybody because he is
devoid OF inspiration himself
| Prohibition is undergoing new
| test It was passed as a war measure.
Nobody can really say whether the
