Amendment of Convention of 1894; ratified Nov. 6, 1894. An amendment to the Constitution takes effect upon the date of the declaration by the canvassers of the result of the popular election and its adoption, unless a different intention appears in the amendment. But where amendments were submitted containing a clause specifying a certain day for their going into effect, and only a part thereof was adopted, and that not including the clause fixing the day, it was held that the clause, although not adopted, was indicative of intention, and should control as to the time of taking effect.
