Polk Goes 139 to
SO Against
No Election I'm
Four Districts

The complete returns OF the
election on calling constitutional
convention has been certified to the
State author tics by the County
Election Commissioners. The total
vote of the county was only 228;
80 for and lS9 against. There was
no election held in the 3, 5, g,
and llth districts. No interst was
taken by anyone in this county
either for or aginst the calling q
the convention, and while the vote
was extra small, vet twas as large
as was expected under all the cir
cumStances.
Quite few of the citizens think
there are some changes needed in
the Constitution, but they seemed
to think that now was not an op-
perfume time to make the changes.
