THE CHAIRMAN : Delegate James.
DELEGATE JAMES: I would be willing
to accept this amendment. I think it would
be an improvement over the present pro-
posal, and I have a feeling that the Con-
vention is not willing to take the initial
proposal.
THE CHAIRMAN: What is the amend-
ment you desire to make?
DELEGATE JAMES: Delegate Chabot
is the one asking me if I am willing to
accept it, and I am.
THE CHAIRMAN: I assume so.
Delegate Chabot, what is the amend-
ment you suggest?
DELEGATE CHABOT: It would strike
out the words, "three months" in line 12
and insert in lieu thereof "thirty days".
THE CHAIRMAN: That is an entirely
new amendment. It does not change the
existing amendment, if the Chair under-
stands you.
DELEGATE JAMES: It might be
simpler if we vote on the amendment as
presented. If Delegate Chabot wishes to
offer an alternative, he can do so.
THE CHAIRMAN: Very well.
Delegate James.
DELEGATE JAMES: I think it will be
better to stand on the original amendment
except that if Delegate Chabot desires to
offer an amendment along the lines he sug-
gests, it would be a better method of pro-
cedure.
THE CHAIRMAN: Very well.
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
The question arises on adoption of
Amendment No. 5.
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
amendment.
A vote No is a vote against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted?
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 53 votes in the affirmative
and 60 in the negative, the motion is lost.
The amendment is rejected.

The Chair understands there are no
other amendments to section 1.
Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: If I may, Mr.
Chairman, unfortunately this came up just
now, but I would like to offer an amend-
ment which would strike out on line 12 the
words "three months" and insert in lieu
thereof "thirty days".
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Chabot, is
there any particular reason you desire to
offer the amendment this evening?
DELEGATE CHABOT: No.
THE CHAIRMAN: Very well.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.
You will be able to offer the amend-
ment tomorrow inasmuch as the Recom-
mendation is still before the Committee of
the Whole.
Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. Chairman,
I move the Committee of the Whole rise
and report that it has not yet concluded
consideration of Committee Recommenda-
tion S&E-2 and wishes to sit again.
THE CHAIRMAN: For what purpose
does Delegate Carson rise?
DELEGATE CARSON: Point of in-
quiry, Mr. Chairman.
THE CHAIRMAN: State the inquiry.
DELEGATE CARSON: Would a motion
to reconsider Amendment No. 5 tomorrow
morning be in order?
THE CHAIRMAN: It would.
DELEGATE CARSON: Thank you.
THE CHAIRMAN: All in favor of the
motion to rise signify by saying Aye; con-
trary, No. The Ayes have it. It is so
ordered.
(Whereupon, at 10:40 P.M. the Committee
of the Whole rose, and the Convention
reconvened.)
(The mace was replaced by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
PLENARY SESSION
