considered the problem you presented to us and were unan-
imous that you intended to have the authority to engage
officers, and if there was any doubt about it that your
choice of the officers should be ratified. We were aware,
we thought we were correctly aware that the resolution
was being prepared in other quarters, but I think it would
be very unfortunate to put these men to work at this
arduous task as Secretary and Chief Clerk, et cetera,
while they are still under the cloud of acting. I think
unless there was serious reason why the matter should
lay over, I think. I can speak for Unanimous Rules Com-
mittee when I offer a resolution now that the Convention
confirm or ratify the choices for Secretary, Chief Clerk,
and is it Parliamentarian?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, Delegate Scanlan, if you
will permit me to interrupt you, the same provision exists
as to other officers whom I have not yet named. I think
it would be preferable, and I don't think it would cause
any hardship to have one resolution embracing all of them.
We can offer it tomorrow. I don't think the named officers
are going to be unhappy for another twenty-four hours. |
