There is much anxiety among public
men over the fact that the people OF
the state are not registering to vote for
delegates to the constitutional conven-
tion. Just why this lack of interest no
one seems to know. but the fact remains
that the registration thus far all over
the state is extremely light. There are
counties in the state in which the reg
istration is not above the one hundred
mark, including men and women. and
there appears to be no means of induc-
ing them to register.
