[Los Angeles, 1875. Elephant folio broadside Supplement for 6 June 1875. 21-1/2" x 23-1/4." Printed in nine columns, each column separated by a rule.

Finally, in 1877 the state legislature again submitted the question of convening a Constitutional Convention to the voters, this time it passed" [online Pacificus web site, 'A Brief History of the California Constitution'].
