and in the same line after the word "judge" add the

words "of those courts".

THE PRESIDENT: The amendment is submitted

4

by Delegate Mudd. Is there a second?

5

(Whereupon, the motion was seconded.)

6

THE PRESIDENT: The amendment having been

7

seconded, the Chair recognizes Delegate Mudd.

8

DELEGATE MUDD: Mr. Chairman, this is purely

9

an amendment for clarification and has to do with the

10

improvement, we hope, in the language of Section 5.26.

11

I call attention of the delegates to line 22

12

where the sentence now beginning with "The continuance in

13

office" says "each such judge who is required to stand

14

for retention of his judicial office". The word "such",

15

as we have been often reminded, is not thought of very

16

kindly by Style and Drafting, so the purpose of this

17

amendment is to strike the word "such" between "judges"

18

and insert after the words "of those courts", referring

19

to the courts in the early part of the section.

20

We feel this will clarify the meaning and I

21

ask the delegates to vote for the amendment.
