6 Chi. B. Ass'n Rec. 1 (1922-1923)

handle is hein.barjournals/chicbar0006 and id is 1 raw text is: THE CHICAGO BAR ASSOCIATION RECORD PUBLISHED MONTHLY Vol. 6 CHICAGO, OCTOBER, 1922 Nb.. 1 VOTE FOR THE NEW CONSTITUTION E VERY member of The Chicago Bar Association should read the report of the Association's Committee on the Adoption of the New Constitution, appearing in this issue of the RECORD. Within the next few days every member will receive a printed ballot and will be asked to cast his vote on the following questions: 1. Do you favor the adoption of the proposed Constitution? 2. Shall The Chicago Bar Association advocate the adoption of the proposed Constitution? 3. Shall The Chicago Bar Association advocate the rejection of the proposed Constitution? The ultimate question for each member to ask himself will be, Is the new Constitution superior to the old? The only issue is a choice between two documents, each a finished product, the old and the new. We are not asked whether we could improve upon this or that article. Totally irrelevant is the inquiry whether the new instrument falls short of one hundred per cent. The new instrument in final form is now presented to us for acceptance or rejection. If, in its entirety, it is an improvement upon the old, there can be but one answer to the questions on the ballot. And we believe that the new Constitution is the superior instrument. Its framers have erected an eloquent monument to their ability and statesmanship. Moreover, we believe it to be the duty of the lawyers of the community to make plain to their fellow citizens that the best interests of the State demand its adoption. And so to the Bar Association belongs the duty of organizing the lawyers to lead this campaign of progress. The Board of Managers has pointed the way by its vote, with but two dissenting, in favor of the adoption of the Constitution, and by its approval of the committee's report, to which we have already referred. The next step will be that of the members themselves. May that step be an overwhelming vote in favor of adoption!
