Frankly, I don't think, as I get around the State, and
|
2
|
I've been getting around this State for a good many years
|
3
|
and mixing with all kind of people, I think you are going
|
4
|
to have difficulty in getting any constitution, perhaps,
|
5
|
adopted. There is no real -- you take in 1867 -r and I
|
6
|
don't know what would have happened in 1864 — in 1867,
|
7
|
you can guess, for instance, the reason in 1864, of in-
|
8
|
cluding that provision I mentioned about the Declaration,
|
9
|
or out of the Declaration of Independence, it paraphrases
|
10
|
and gives somewhat the same substance. I don't find any
|
11
|
great feeling among the people for any change in our
|
12
|
Constitution, except a few vocal people that are perhaps
|
13
|
very much agitated by certain individual things, and
|
14
|
frankly, I was a little bit surprised that the Legislature
|
15
|
even went as far as it did at this particular time, as -
|
16
|
close as they are.
|
17
|
This is an opinion that I have, but I express
|
18
|
it as coming in contact with a lot of people. I deal with
|
19
|
a lot of people besides people in agriculture, people in
|
20
|
commerce in the city included, and everybody else, but
|
21
|
I don't find any feeling about that.
