I don't think that anyone here is wise enough

2

to predict what particular piece of the Constitution may

3

arouse in the people of Maryland a desire to do this thing,

4

but I suggest that such items will arise, and it seems

5

to me the part of wisdom on the part of this convention

6

to make provision for it.

7

I am not asking, as an earlier Delegate did,

8

that you give this amendment a , unanimous vote. I would

9

be very happy with 100 affirmative votes.

10

THE CHAIRMAN: Before asking for questions

11

of the sponsor of the amendment, Delegate Winslow, in the

12

second sectidn of Committee Recommendation S&E1, "dealing

13

with the referendum", the reference is to registered voters.

14

In the first section of Committee Recommendation S&E-2

15

lealing with eligible voters, there is in effect a definition

16

of qualified voters, and I believe that in the other articles

17

dealing with the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch

18

we have referred consistently to qualified voters.

19

Would it satisfy you to leave to the Committee

20

on Style the question of whether the first word in line 14

21

should under all circumstances be qualified or registered?
