appoint two Judges and two clerks of

there are those qualified to act as
judges and clerks, who will be willing
to serve without remuneration, and
that thus special election can be

believe that the question at issue
should he determined on its merits,

minds are not confused by multi
tude of issues. as viii probably be the
case in the general election of Novem-
ber. 1922. if the numerous Constitu-
tional amendments proposed must be
voted on at that electiOn)
