DELAY ON THE CONVENTION BILL This Is Plan Now on Constitutional Revision Scheme. ... Division of Opinion in the Senate as to the Needs of the Question —Ma- jority Opposed to Calling •Convention. Madison, WR, May 27.—The ac tion of the senate judiciary commit tee adverse to the joint resolution au thorizing the calling of a constitution al convention, will probably not be re ported to the senate until after the Memorial Day adjournmot t. This, in all probability, will be the plan of Sen ator Sanborn in order to have all members of the senate present so the proposition can be fully discussed end considered, it being assumed that a number of tlie senators would not I e at the session this week for three days. There is a division of opinion in the senate as to the merits of the ques tion, a majority of the senators ap parently being opposed to tbe calling of a convention for the purpose of framing a new constitution. These men hold that Wisconsin is sti'l a young state in which the legislature and courts have not fully brought out the powers of the existing consritu tion and the assertion is made that no necessity has arisen, even through the change of economic and industrial con ditions warranting an attempt to make a new instrument. It is also assorted that.there is great danger in seeking to make an •omnibus constitution, prac tically doing away with many of the laws already interpreted and sus tained by the supreme court. If changes are necessary, these meu claim, the best results can be secured by amendment from time to timg as necessity arises, instead of through the adoption of an entirely new instru ment. Many of the senators believe that a wrong policy would lie inau gurated and conditions in Wisconsin unsettled and made uncertain through the adoption of a new constitution, and contend that the time has not ar rived when this should be done.
