The present constitution properly sets up the quali fications for voters in the state. The opening phrase of Article II. Section 1. en franchises every citizen of the age of 21 years, provid ing he or she can fulfill certain other requirements. The delegates ' ' vention in Afban; .lower forthrightly this age limitation. Instead, a ma jority voted to give the Legislature the authority to regulate the voting age be tween 21 and 18. It was a sorry compromise among forces lined up for and against revision, for the qualification of voters is a matter that ought not to be left to legislative enact- The outcome of the squab ble over this issue indicates again that political rather than civic considerations are governing the votes of a majority o f the delegates. The prospect of broadening the electoral base by nearly one million young people piainiy was too disturbing to political forces in the convention for acceptance of a constitutional decree broadening the base. — Buffalo Courier Express T he M edina D aily J ournal re the con- refused to C-C Seeks To Move On Blaine ALBANY.
