Court decision blocks 1918 constitutional convention
Court ruling prevents holding a constitutional convention in January 1918 and blocks delegate election in September. It bars voter registration for the convention and requires direct approval by a vote before any future call. The decision effectively delays any new constitution until after the 1921 legislative session unless a special session is convened. It highlights amendments from the last legislature, including suffrage, prohibition, easier amendment methods, and admittance of negroes to the national guard.
