I have lifted the following from Sol Bloom's 1937 publication. I have no idea
why there is no specific date for Ohio. Of course, Alaska and Hawaii are
omitted. I have no idea what the Providence Plantations were or how they fit in
the Convention scheme. The format and layout is not great. Submitted for your
convenience. Is it accurate? Only in so far as the software has interpreted it
from the printed page to this eMail and the accuracy of my failing eyeballs.
