BLUE BALLOT SETS RECORD IN ILUNOIISttl0Jm f The Constitution Convention Blue Ballot received more 'yes* . votes than any other Blue Ballot in the State's 150-year history, according to figures certified in Springfield by the state electoral board. r Final tallies of the Nov. 5 election showed that nearly three million voters approved the Constitutional Convention call which campaign officials terma ed "an overwhelming and satisfying victory." Kingman Douglass, Jr., and William J. Kuhfuss, co-chairmen of the Illinois Committee for Constitutional .Convention said that the vote "shows clearly that a great majority of Illinois '• voters are well aware of the dilemma our state faces with ah outmoded and inadequate Constitution, The vote is a mandate for constructive change." Douglass is a Chicago investment banker. Kuhfuss is president of the Bloomington-based Illinois Agricultural association the statewide Farm Bureau. Hie Blue Ballot received a favorable vote from nearly two out of three of all voters who voted in the election. In order to pass, the convention call needed only a majority of those voting in the election. The fact is, the Blue Ballot received some 625,000 votes more than needed for passage. - "One of our biggest problems was to get voters to vote on the Blue Ballot in a general election year when the spirited campaigns for national and state offices could easily smother any public interest in the Blue Ballot. Of those who voted on the issue, nearly three out of four voted "yes". Such an overwhelming victory is most satisfying to those who worked so hard in the campaign, the cochairman said. Douglass and Kuhfuss attri- *-5,X <' % "'•%>' j buted the heavy "yes" vote to the., fact that downstate voters as well as those in Cook county , favored the proposal. In other" successful Blue Ballot campaigns approval depended on a heavy "yes" vote in Cook county^ to override the heavy downstate> "no" vote. "It isparticularly significant * that voters all over the state approved the convention call, and not just the Cook county voters", the co-chairman continued. "This means that support for the convention is not a lop-sided matter. Downstate residents were not forced into a Convention which they did not want. This stateside support - sets a favorable climate in which the convention can be held." How Can I? Q. How can I deal with oil spots on my concrete drive- Way? A.
