Amendment defeated over voting error at triennial opal convention
In San Francisco the Stantingdon amendment to the constitution was defeated after a Nebraska vote error prompted reconsideration. Delegates split clerical and lay, with a united 30-delegate per order threshold failing the measure. Article V also fell to a brief house debate. A mass meeting in Mechanics’ Pavilion drew about 10,000 with a 4,000-voice choir urging foreign mission zeal.
