I say that I did not get everything I wanted,
but those were four happy years and I felt I did a real
good job and I felt all the others were working hard.
Probably some of the workload could have been distributed
a little bit better, but that is something for the future.
I think the faults of the past will lead to
improvements in the future in the legislature.
I say when you tamper with reducing the size
of the House you are shocking the people of the state of
Maryland and that one thing alone may be a big factor
in defeating the constitution.
I say that I worked hard, I was one of those
who did not favor the calling of a constitutional convention
but I do not think anyone can say I have shirked my
responsibility since being here.
I have lived up to the promise I made to the
people that I would come and try to get out a constitution
that they could live with and would approve. That, Mr.
President, I am trying to do. If I voted for any reduction
of the House of Delegates or the State Senate, I feel
I would be shirking my responsibility.
