All of which is very distress ing to the noble hearted btses and goes to show the ingratitude of constituencies. At a very conservative estimate, sixty per cent of the press of the State are emphatic in their condemnation of the proceedings of the con vention, about twenty nve per cent mildly disapprove, the oth er fifteen per cent, with a few exceptions are on the fence. As the utterances of the press are simply the reflection of the sentiments of the people, it is a fairly safe bet that some of our eminent gangsters are going to rue the day they did it to the progressives, ine public con science in matters of government are aroused and the whys are becoming very emlmrassing to the leaders. The Convention was most noted by what it did not do: it left the question of the constitutional amendments on the table, when party policy and party honesty emphatically demanded that a vigorous expression of opinion on these amendments be made; it utterly disregarded the demand for a Statewide Pri mary Law, a just and equitable system of taxation (which is ur gently needed on account of the present demoralized condition of the finance of the State) and other important matters unnec essary to mention. In spite of the convention, the next legislature will probably pass a statewide primary law . At any rate such a bill w ill be introduced. It behooves the citizens of every county to se cure from their representatives and senators an expression as to how they stand on this ques tion. If the people will bestir themselves there is yet time to make al)solutely sure the passage of such a law. And no law is more vitally needed in North Carolina.
