Editor Republican: , Trusting that you believe in lair play I herewith submit this article in favor of a new constitution for Indiana. A new constitution does not mean destroying the old but improving it. Did: the constitution of 1851 destroy the constitution of 1816, which Was good enough for the people of Indiana lor thirtyfive years? How about popular education? I suppose the new constitution did away with that. Sixty-three years' since the adoption of the last constitution has brought new problems. Such problems as woman suffrage, prohibition, taxation revision, home rule fpr cities, referendum and recall, sbould.be brought before the people for them to vote upon In a manner becoming to a democratic government. This does not mean that we shall have all these changes but does mean that the people will have an opportunity to say whether or not they want any or all of them. The leading men of the state desire this constitutional conventionThis movement is not connected with polities, but the leading political parties favor it. If you support the republican, democratic or progressive platform you endorse itIf the brewers do not favor it, they are afraid of fair play on the prohibition question. Such a movement would give the people an opportunity. to express their opinion on this evil in a democratic manner. A Remington Subscriber.
