Whether or not there should bc such a
convention is not the subject OF this cdi-

Twenty-Five" In nine OF the ten congress
sonal districts OF the State, the v>ting will
be merely perfunctory for Senator and Rep
resentatiye, since even where Republicans
make nominations. every voter will know
1t doesn't mean anything. In the Ninth
District alone will there be a real contest
and ii is quite possible for that district. with
an immense normal vote, to decide by the
preponderance of .ec ballots in the State
ia" question OF Il ConstitutionaL Convention.
In Richmond, for example, if there is no one
on tn" ticket save Congressman Montague
and Republican and Socialist nominees,

The movement for convention was born
of the labors of the Committee on Useless
oihccs at the session OF the General Assem-
bly, last winter. That body found that tho
Constitution prevented some things il wished
to recommend; its report therefore includ-
ed a recommendation to make a new Con-
sttution. The time is now ripe for public
discussion as TO tho advisability of and
need for convention at this juncture The
main issue will he settled in November
and the voters should be discussing that
issue now
