ing. For women always want to fish,
yet never could they or would they
stick those horrid, nasty, wriggling
angleworms on the hook. So, between
batting their hooks and removing the
perch and pumpkin seeds and strain
ing your spine to keep the boat from
turning turtle and the lines from get
ting snarled up, you have most en-
joyable outing, do you not? Yes, you
do not! I'll run the risk of answer

eight ounces by his own standard
scales, and play him for twenty min

not to bring that big, ugly thing into

you calmly ease up on the line and
give him slack, also his freedom, do

acknowledgements returns from
over the state are sufficient to prove
that the proposition to hold a consti'
tutional convention in Tennessee was
overwhelmingly defeated. Less than
one-half of a normal vote was cast.
Perhaps the most surprising feature
of the voting was the showing in West
Tennessee. In this section friends OF
the proposition to hold convention
claimed their strongholds, but the
sentiment was so strong against the
proposition and the vote so light that
it went across the Tennessee river
with 1892 votes behind
In the big middle Tennessee coun
ties immense majorities were rolled UP
against the proposition, in some of the
counties the vote being eight to one
against it.
East Tennessee registered it's pro-
test with light vote and heavy ballot
ing against the convention idea.
The cities failed to show the favor
for the convention idea it's friends had
hoped
Memphis alone rolled up big ma
jority in favor of new constitution
Nashville and Chattanooga, with a
light vote, broke about even, while the
proposition was lost in Knoxville.
Opposition of the country press, ap'
athy on the part of citizens, absence
of many voters in military camps ano
the opinion that the present time Is IL
opportune were few of the co1triblt
