KILBY SATISFIED
Nobody Hurt By Refusal of House to
 Act on Convention

 21f-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. September 20.-tSpecial )- Nobody was hurt by the refusal of the house of representatives during the week to submit to the voters the sub ject of holding constitutional conven- tion in 1922 Governor kilby is satisfied because he did no more than to follow his own conscience after he had heard the opinion of persons who had made study of the limitations of Alabama S constitution and who had urged that convention be hold so the state could have the machinery for the progression which the twentieth century mind de- mands Opponents of convention are satisfied because they won.
 A great majority of those who spoke or the subject. publicly and in private conversst tion during the time it was an issue. believe Alabama's constitution does not permit the proper latitude for advancement. but opponents of the con yention, admitting that changes were a thing to be desired feared there had net been d general readiustment fol- lowing the war which must come before all heads are clear and the needs of the state are set forth in the proper nanorama in the minds and hearts Of men. It happened the latter were in the majority. The result was a vote of
 
 against the submission of the subject to the voters
 Many members of the house explained that they personally were in favor of a convent ion. but they did not believe they would be representing their constituents if they submitted the issue. F.. NJ Baker of DeKalb expia ned that he did not believe this was a time for conven- tion and that he could not vote to sub init an issue when he would be forced to take the stump and field in opposition to it when the time came for decision by the people.
 Governor Kilby made it clear in his message that he did not desire to hold a convention at all but instead merely wanted to let the people of Alaba ma say whether or not they desired another constitution at this time. He made no effort, insofar as is known. to influence ny members of the legisla ature and many members of the house who had stood with him from the beginnns voted a~ainst the convention resolution.
