COMPLETE VOTE FOR CONSTI-
TUTIONAL DELEGATES

question as to whether or not a re-
publican member to the constitu-
tional convention from the sixth
congressional district will be recog-
nized by Governor Hyde and finally
seated, is the only remaining point in
the determination of the personnel of
: Missouri's constitutional convention.
The final returns from the special
I election of January 81, were certified
to Governor Hyde by Secretary of
State Charles U. Becker today and
the recognition or rejection of one of
the seven individuals receiving votes
on the republican ticket in the Sixth
district is left to the governor.
The question of republican dele
gate from the Sixth district resulted
from the fact that the republican
congressional committee of that dis
trict failed to nominate candidate.
The returns from the election, how
ever, show that seven individuals
were voted for. The individuals re-
ceiving votes and the number re-
ceived follow: H. A. Higgins, Sulli-
van county, SIG; J. w. Way, V. B.
Allen, Joseph Borders and C. F.
Eubanks, all of Sullivan county, one
vote each; r. E. Kathan, Linn coun-
ty, $40; F. C. Sasse, Charitan county
432.
Whether one of the candidates re-
ceiving votes can lawfully be seated
in the convention is the question left
to Governor Hyde. He stated in
conference here on the matter that it
is his belief that the convention must
decide whether to seat one of the
Sixth district individuals. 1t also had
been reported that under the terms OF
the constitutional amendment govern
ing the convention, the governor can
appoint the missing delegate. This
point, however, has not been passed
on by the attorney general or courts.
The final tabulation of returns from
the special election show that the
fifteen candidates for delegates at
large supported by the democratic
and republican state committees re-
,eived majorities ranging from $4,000
for William Sacks, st. Louis to 27,-
100 for Joshua w. Alexander, Gallatin
