1

now "Voters in Federal, State and County Elections", and

2

in line 18 again the word "federal" is used.

5

Since the term "federal" is normally applied

4

to the nature of the union or the nature of the system

5

of government, might not the term "national" be a better

6

word to use in those two cases?

7

DELEGATE PENNIMAN: It came to us as "federal",

8

as you can see. There would be no difference if the

9

word had been "national", and I would presume that there

10

are some who would assume that "national" is a more

11

correct term.

12

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Koss.

13

DELEGATE KOSS: Delegate Winslow, it is my

14

understanding that in a sense there are no national

15

elections, since the state conducts the elections as part

16

of a federal system for the officers that serve either

17

in our national government or as our national President.

18

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Winslow, did you have

19

a further question?

20

DELEGATE WINSLOW: No, I don't know that I do,

21

although I am not very happy about the use of the term.
