Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Civic Federation Constitutional Convention Series: General Considerations
The general election of 1918, with the huge vote cast to open this wide door for revision of our Constitution, therefore may prove to be another mile - post in the political and economic his tory of Illinois; and while we hope for great benefits to be gained from the holding of this Convention, it also is possible that the finger on this mile-post may point the way up some rough by-path of doubtful and dangerous experiment, instead of along the broad highway of true progress. Almost equally menacing is the possibility that the Convention may not be able to agree upon such a revision or such amendments as the people would approve, and that, after years of effort, we shall have to continue to break our way through the new country of future years with the plow and scraper of 1870 instead of with modern road-making machinery.
