ton, as usually held in August, which was
accepted
Mr.. Brown, Of Casewell, opposed a change
in the time of holding elections. He also
was opposed to the schedule of apportion-
ment, in the absence of data upon which to
base an equitable adjustment of the repre-
sentation.
Mr.. Grissom said that he fully endorsed
the main views of the distinguished delegate
from Caswell. He hoped the amendments
proposed to the Constitution would be adop-
ted as part Of the organic law of the State.
The great political and social convulsion
through which we have gone and through
which we have just emerged-the State
stripped other wealth, her population and
her political power, leaves the real popula
ton so uncertain that it would be better to
have new census SO as to arrive at correct
ness before the apportionment should go in
to effect.
He favored however, deferring the State
elections until the action of this Convention
shall be ratified or rejected by the people.
The yeas and nays were called on the
