"Party Measure"?Did anybody ever say tbat to you In urging the necessity for Irby's Convention? The election as to whether we will have a Constitutional Convention Is "submitted to the qualified voters of the State." The Irby Convention may be a "party measure," but the Constitutional Convent ion M a question for the people. Some men will vote for ' party measures," but. Independent freemen ought to vote for or against the Con* atiutlnnal Convention as their own best judgment may dictate. Irby will not gain votes for his Convention by withholding the necessary tickets to secure a full and fair expression of opinion. Court 11f inn . The State agalnRt John Johnson, murder. Not guilty.
