Show SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH State Bar Association Voices Approval of Three Amendments The. Utah State Bar Association Board of Commissioners has endorsed three of the four constitutional amendments which will appear on the ballot in Utah on November 3. J. Robert Bullock, bar president, said the board is solidly behind the three and firmly disapproved of the fourth amendment. Those amendments which are favcred and which the voters will have a voice in at the general election arc: 1. An amendment to modernize legislative procedures by eliminating outdated previsions, provide the legislature with improved auditing and legal aid and in general streamline the legislature. These changes were recommended by the 1971 Legislature by the State Constitutional Revision Commission. 2. An amendment to permit alternative forms of county government by allowing each county to select, subject to a vote by the people a form of government Allan Howe Chairman Of Annual Sagebrush Democratic Outing best meeting its particular needs 3. An amendment to eliminate from the Utah constitution the provision that all cities of the first and second class must have their own school districts. The proposition calls for cities in the first or second class to establish their own school districts only if they so desire. The only amendment which was voted down and formally disapproved of by the Utah Bar is the one which is dealing with denying bail to persons charged with a felony if they were on probation, parole or free on bail on a previous felony. The main objection to the amendment was that the board decided the proposal does not state a proposition properly protecting the right of persons accused of crimes.

The final vote tally, which made the nomination official long before all states had responded to the vote, was 1,864.4 for the majority needed. The state of Illinois assured the Senators nomination with a 119 vote and carried him over the top. The big question now in the minds of the voters throughout the country is who McGovern will seek to be his running mate for the number two position. After the Democrtaic National Chairman Lawrence OBrien announced that the Senator would be the party's candidate, McGovern officials quickly contacted Sen. Edward M. Kennedy for the vice presidential nomination, but the Senator declined to accept the offer, staling that I have family duties to take care of and duties to the families of my brothers. This is the most important decisions in my political career. The other leading contenders gathered a somewhat smaller vote with Sen. Henry Jackson leading with 486.65, Governor George Wallace with 377.50 and Rep. Shirley Shirley Chisholm 101.45. The remainder of the votes went to other persons not officially declared as candidates for the nomination with Senator Humphrey and Senator Muskie withdrawing the day before the balloting began. The Democratic National Convention was almost a complete turn about from the 1968 national convention with the protest and demonstration. The 1972 . national convention was quite orderly with only a small smattering of protest being aired in the hotel of which Sen. McGov- ern was staying. Sen. George McGovern went to the lobby of the hotel to talk to the protesters about the war in Vietnam and responded with I dont have any doubt that within 99 days of my inauguration every American soldier will be home and thats the pledge I make. After the balloting was completed the many unsuccessful candidates began announcing their support for the Senator and the Democratic ticket throughout the United States. Many called on the telephone to the Senators room and gave their total support for the final effort to obtain party unity for . the uping elections.
