REPUBLICANS FAVOR
CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION

A good crowd turned out for
Republican meeting advertised
to be held at the court house on
Saturday night to give consider
alton to the question of the spec
ial election calling for a consti-
tutional convention. Such a con-
vention was favored, and the fol
lowing resolution passed:
eve, a group of Republicans Of
Dickensn county, assembled at
ClintWood, Va, on March 3, 1915,
on the call of our cunty chair
man NJ. P. Colley, hereby re-
solve that we are unanimously of
the opinion that on Tuesday,
March 9Th, all Republicans
should go to the polls and vote
in favor of calling constitution
al convention, and to support on
ly candidate to such conven-
ton as will pledge himself to do
all in his power to revise the en-
tire constitution, wherever it
needs changing, when such con-
vention should meet"
It was the opinion of the meet
ing that delegates to the con-
vention were not necessarily re-
stricted to action on the poll tax
question for service men but
that they might take the bull by
the horns and abolish the pay
ment of poll taxes as requisite
to voting altogether.
