They have formed’a permanent as- ation. 1s Senator Sherman began by ex: plaining that the exiles included 19 Republicans and two Democrats, one of the latter having died a month ago.on Massachusetts soil. A lone Republican remained in Providence a point of contact at sporadic eetings of the legislature, which y is still in session. It dies January s, and when it does, the exiles have hing further to fear-in the way ummoneses to appear at their ince being here in Rutland, 56 miles from Providence, we have whiled away our time with’ almost very known form of outdoor sport, have held many parties and enter- tainments and Christmas night, for inatance, had a big family tree, with ur wives and children here,” he said, ‘Every one received presents symbolical of his trade or profes- sion. “Contrary to reports, not one of he ‘exiles’ has received financial support from any source except his own personal income, and in some instances actual hardship has re- sulted. Our businesses have been conducted ‘at arm's aA “But by being here we feel we have saved the Rhode Island state constitution. And we would all giad- | ly do it again. ‘Our Democratic friends wanted to reapportion the senate elect!on districts, and sought to call a con- stitutional convention. We felt that the constitution we haye prospered under for forty years was good enough. ‘Under the present senate system, every city and town has one sena tor, The house is apportioned along population lines. In short, the Rhode Island system matches the federal system. We have 39 senators and 100 representatives. The senate line up. was 20 Republicans, 19 Demo- ta. “Poesibly, with an eye to the more densely populated city districts, the Democrats wanted the senate also apportione@ along population lines. Our answer was the query ‘why two houses elected in the same manner?’ It seemed to us to violate the fun- damental law. “To accomplish this the opposition sought,passage.of a bill providing for a constitutional convention, at which the constitution would be al- tered. We/ fought this proposal on the grounds we have a method of amending the constitution, already upheld by a court decision in 1882. It. provides for passage of a bill by two succeeding sessions of the leg- islature and submission to the peo- ple, when it becomes law on accept- ance by a three-fifths vote. “We ba'ked at an opposition pro- posal to support the constitutional convention bill and an added pro- posal that we guarantee passage through the house.
