Legislature from to a day the shortening of regular sessions of that body from seventy to sixty days and the retaining of the present number of legislators are provisions included in the report of i the Constitutional Convention Com on legislation which was pre sented to the Convention yesterday The speech of Senator Stanley was evidently made with the intention of creating the impression that Senator Spencer and other Republicans are attempting to bring about your de feat Of course you and I each know that just the reverse is true in Mis souri and we now realize that your manager has written letters to Re The Conventions Committee and to Socialists asking suffrage and elections which was also them to support you in the coming presented yesterday included a lit primary election Senator Stanley eracy test for voters and the probably does not realize that but of party conventions of he should realize that it was Senator delegates for the Spencers opponent whom you helped ent

by Farris to enable several mem bers of the committee to urge on the floor their views that both houses of the Legislature should be reduced in size One proposal sought to have a Senate of 17 members as against 34 at present and a House of 34 in stead of which will make up the next House In recommending increasing the pay of legislators the committee decided that while a day would not remunerate fully the type of men really fitted to perform such duties it would enable legisla tors to make expenses without put ting their wives on the or re sorting to similar expedients and hence it might raise the general tone of the Legislature The legislators would not be able to draw a day indefinitely how ever as they would be limited to 60 days at that pay during regular ses sions as against 70 at present to SO days during the special sessions which may run indefinitely at pres ent and to 90 days during revision cans to vote in a Democratic primary That practice is contrary to the theory of our political system Party nomi nations should be made by members of the party However since Senator Stanley speaking in your behalf has brought up the point voting in our primary I am taking the op ask you to join with me in an open letter to the voters of Missouri repudiating the alleged movement of Republican and Social ists voting in our primary and ask ing them tg stay out of our primary and asking the election officials of the state to require all the voters not heretofore known to have been affili ated with the Democratic party to take the oath prescribed by law that they all the nominees of the Democratic party in November I am transmitting separately a sug gested form the open letter and ask you to affirm your approval of it Of course we invite Republicans to rote with us in November and will welcome them into our party after the nominations are made but in order to maintain and preserve the integrity of the Democratic party I feel strongly that our party decisions Roads
