Constitutional Convention today the
Committee on Engrossment reported
that the suffrage article had been en-
crossed and is ready for the final pas
sage The article was adopted by vote
of 80 to 10. This action finally disposed
of the article which now becomes a
part Of the Constitution. The section
of an article passed yesterday giving
women the right of suffrage was recon-
sdered, after lengthy controversy, by
vote of 81 to %.
The convention also adopted propo
sition providing that hereafter repre-
sentation in Alabama shall be based on
population and it shall not be charged
by Constitutional Amendment. This
settled a controversy which arose be-
tween delegates from the "black belt"
counties and the delegates from white
counties. The black belt feared that
with the negro eliminated an effort
would be made to reduce the represent
tation.
