NEBRASKA BLUE BOOK, 1926

VOTE ON SEPARATE PROPOSITIONS SUBMITTED WITH THE CONSTITUTION OF 1871

Following is the vote by counties as reported by the special board of canvassers appointed by the constitution, namely, the president of the convention, Silas A. Strickland, the secretary of state, William H. James, the state auditor, John Gillespie.

Sketch

The above table was copied from the Omaha Weekly Herald of Oct. 17, 1871. Adams, Brown, Clay, Franklin, Greeley, Hamilton, Howard, Kearney, Nuckolls, Sherman, Valley and Webster counties were included in the list of the official canvass, but no returns were credited to them. Only one of these counties -- Hamilton -- sent returns in 1870. In 1872 Clay, Franklin, Hamilton, Howard, Kearney, Nuckolls and Webster made returns.
