Goes to Constitutional Conven- tion from State at Large
SMALL VOTE THROUGHOUT STATE


 election in Jefferson County yesterday was exceedingly light and particularly was this the case in Birmingham where there was but little interest manifested. The lack of interest in the election was due to the fact that there was but one ticket in the field. In the city of Birm- ingham, which has 4oc0 Democratic voters. the total vote cast did not exceed BOO, and reports from the country pre- cincts indicate that there was a corre- Bpondingly small vote In one or two of the city precincts no managers of cleo ton put in an appearance, but boxes were provided at the places designated, and all who cared to vote were instruct ed to drop their ballots in the box. An official count was made later and the beat committeeman certified to the re- turns
 The result of the election yesterday will be to give the Jefferson County del egation to the State convention next week to Captain Frank s. White for del- egate-at-large to the constitutional con- vention, Robert J. Lowe having with drawn from the contest in this county
 It will be impossible to predict with any degree of certainty the names of the seven nominees for delegates to the constitutional convention from Jefferson County, but from the returns in last night the indications were favorable to the nomination of Charles w. Ferguson and Captain Frank F. O'Brien as two of the seven.
 Dr. R. M Cunningham, of Pratt City, 30 far as is known at present is the only candidate for delegate to the consttu- tional convention from the Jefferson County senatorial district, and he will probably secure that nomination.
 The vote in Davis, one of the largest precincts in the city, was only about 125 and in the South Highlands, Beat 37, 1t was 1oS. Cleveland beat (court-house) polled slightly over 10O Cleveland and Davis are the two largest beats in the city. Jefferson beat boiled 60 votes and Madison considerably less than 100.
