Encloses his editorial entitled "The People's Constitution" (see GLC05757.01) and requests that they print it on Friday. Ends with patriotic fervor: "But every man must be true to the Constitution. There must be no compromise." A note at the bottom asks to be remembered to Low & Millard. Millard, Low, & Miller published the Daily Express. Dorr, then an illegitimate governor, led the Dorr Rebellion over suffrage rights in Rhode Island.
