Excerpt from Message of His Excellency Henry Roberts, Governor of Connecticut: To the General Assembly, January Session, 1905 For generations it has been considered an honor to have served as a member of the General Assem bly, and as I note the character and ability of its present members, I feel that the high standard of the legislation of the past will be maintained. You have been elected by the people of the State to enact such laws as will, in your judgment, best serve their interests. I assume that you will make no change in our fundamental law concerning representation in the General Assembly, as our increased Senate gives to our large centers of population a representation more in keeping with their great and varied interests; but I desire to call your attention to the injustice in volved in the provision in the amended Constitution, upon which you will act, that provides that a major. Ity of the electors voting cannot call a Constitutional Convention. The work that is before you will principally consist in legislating for existing conditions, that have been brought about by our social and indus trial progress.
