The bill was passed after consider able debate, and the vote was 59 10 32.
 Under provisions of the bill. the convention would be held in the house of representatives chamber at the state capitol, being called at noon on September T. The bill carries an ap- propriation of $25,0o0 to defray costs of the election IL further provides that immediately after passage of the act the governor shall issue a proc lamation calling the election of dele. gates for June %
 When the bill first was introduced it called for 128 delegates 100 of whicn were to be selected on the same basis as members of the house, and the other 2S to be elected from the state at large. The bill later was amended to reduce the number of delegates.
 Some opposition developed against the measure several members declar- ing that. while the state needed a new constitution, financial and busi- ness conditions this year did not war rant calling a convention, and that it should not be called until after the south has recuperated from the dis uessed condition due to the Europ gan war.
 On the other hand, proponents of the bill maintained the costs of sub. hitting three amendments to the con stitution al the next election would exceed that of drafting an entirely new constitution
