THE PRESIDENT: The Chair really thinks that

2

the change that we made by adding the word "district"

3

are really unnecessary and serve only to confuse the

4

issue. We are not talking here about the provision of the

5

Constitution, but of legislation, and if we are going to

6

try to draft a section that would be applicable if the

7

legislature creates districts as well as applicable if

8

state's attorneys are going to be elected by counties,

9

then obviously we are going to have to make much more

10

extensive changes than are contemplated, and I would think

11

since states attorneys are now elected by counties, that

12

we could assume for purposes of this legislation that

13

would continue and that the legislature would make

14

further changes if and when it provided, for states

15

attorneys by districts.

Delegate Marion.

DELEGATE MARION: Should we not then delete

18

the modification?

19

THE PRESIDENT: That is what I am suggesting.

20

Is there any objection to deleting the modification as

21

heretofore made?
