In the early part of 1919 a plebiscite was organized by a delegation
which the representatives of the occupied communes elected at Split on
January 11. According to the census of 1900 the occupied territory
contained 35 communes, divided into 398 localities, with 297,181
inhabitants. In 35 localities, with 14,659 inhabitants, the census was
prevented by the Italians, who also confiscated the results of the
plebiscite in the commune of Obrovac.[38] The delegates were therefore
successful in canvassing 95.07 per cent. of all the inhabitants. In 34
communes the majority for union with Yugoslavia was over 90 per cent.,
while in 24 it exceeded even 99 per cent. At Zadar (the town) out of
14,056 inhabitants 6623 (= 47 per cent.) voted for Yugoslavia, while in
the suburbs, with a larger population, the majority was 89.57 per cent.
In the islands the majorities ranged from 96 per cent. to 100 per cent.
And if any doubts were entertained as to these figures, the delegates
were authorized to propose another plebiscite under the control of a
disinterested Allied
