Montgomery Democrats Ask
Prompt Convention Recall

cided in favor of a constitutional
convention. The assumption was
that the constitutional convention
would take steps to bring repre-
Sentation in the House of Dele
gates more in line with the actual
population of the various political
subdivisions wrote the Montgom-
cry delegates.
Voters in November approved
the constitutional convention plan
by 200. .439 to 56,998 but the Gen
eral Assembly last week refused to
call it. Sentiment against the
convention stemmed principally
from the smaller counties which
feared loss of representation.
The Montgomery Democrats
wrote Mr.. Sothoron that the Gen
eral AsSemblys action in the mat
ter "fouted the will of the people
and the platform of the Demo-
cratic party which was adopted at
our Democratic State Convention
It has also wiped out the basis on
which you proposed not to re-
convene our party convention.
! Z. Urging Mr.. Sothoron to recon-
vene the party convention with
all speed" the Montgomery dele
gates said they believed it should
be done while the Legislature re-
mains in session.
Montgomery's seven Democratic
Convention delegates, who all
signed the letter to Mr.. Sothoron,
are:
Elizabeth Assay, William L. Bur-
dette, Nathaniel j. Ely, Blair Lee
III, James j. Lynch, Phillip Thor
son and Leonard j. Williams.
