Delaware County
TO PUSH QUESTION
People's Association at Dinner
Decides to Promote Support
i for Changes
lultlal'inove In the state tonaid the
formation of the People's Association of
PennsjUnnia to promote revision of tlio
stato constitution was taken by the
People's Association of Delaware Count
at a dinner last night In the Arcadia
Cafe. This move cons'sted In the adop
tion of a resolution by the association to
proceed with the organization and the
appointment of a generat organization
committee.
Tho general plan of tlio new body, said
P. N Brewer, who presided, had been
approved by Governor Sproul.
The necessity of thorough revision of
the constitution was emphasized by
speakers, who discussed different pro
cedures of revision and various specific
needs. William Draper Lewis, after
pointing out that the present constitution
In its forty-five years of existence had
been outgrown by modern governmental
requirements , urgod that the method
practiced In other states of perfecting
new constitutions in their entirety In
general conventions bo rejected, but pro
posed that a draft of tho instrument bo
formulated by a competent commission
for submission to a convention, which
would debate, amend and adopt It.
Dr. Jesse II. Holmes, member of the
faculty ot Swarthmoro College, advo
cated a fundamental law of which tho
chief characteristic would be flexibility.
Glftord Plnchot said tho movement for
a new constitution was a timely one.
On behalf ot tho Stale Federation of
Libor, John A. Phillips, first vice presi
dent of the federation, asked the estab
lishment of a permanent commlttco on
the revision of the constitution. II. S.
Chllcjs, secretary and treasurer of tho
National Short Ballot Organisation, gavo
an exposition of leforms In county gov
ernment, A proposal that the constitu
tional convention be elected by the prin
ciple of proportional representation was
made by C. G. IToag, secretary of the
