Apathy on the part of the Repub-

five proposed constitutional amend
ments voted on at the special cleo
ton Tuesday.
The only amendment to obtain an
adoption vote was that giving mu-

the leaders of both parties were
agreed and worked for its success,
with the result that it went over by
a majority of more than 200, 600
votes, and with only two of the
twenty-one counties, Sussex and
Warren, voting against it.
The vote in Atlantic County was
favorable to all the amendments.
