3086 CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF MARYLAND [Jan. 2]

DELEGATE BOILEAU: No.

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Boileau
votes No. Has every other delegate voted ?
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote ?

(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.

There being S3 votes in the affirmative
and 41 in the negative, the motion carries.
The vote by which Amendment No. 10 was
adopted is reconsidered.

The question now arises on the adoption
of Amendment No. 10. Are you ready for
the question ?

Delegate Grumbacher.

DELEGATE GRUMBACHER: Mr. Presi-
dent, members of the Convention, I would
like to correct one misunderstanding here.

The vote on the nominations in caucus
has not been secret while I have been in
the House of Delegates. It has been in my
memory unanimous.

THE PRESIDENT: Are you ready for
the question ?

(Call for the question.)

The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 10 to Committee Recom-
mendation LB-1, LB-2, and LB-3 as amend-
ed by Report S&D-16.

A vote Aye is a vote in favor of Amend-
ment No. 10. In other words, in favor of
secret ballot. A vote No is a vote against
Amendment No. 10. Cast your votes.

(Whereupon, a roll call vote was taken.)
Has every delegate voted ?
Delegate Boileau.
DELEGATE BOILEAU: I vote Aye.

THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Boileau
votes Aye. Has every other delegate voted ?
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote?

(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.

There being 44 votes in ,the affirmative
and 79 votes in the negative, the motion
is lost. The amendment is rejected.

The next question for consideration is
section 3.19. At .the time this matter was
last under consideration, the Chair either
had received or was receiving, I am not

sure which it was now, I think had received,
an oral amendment from Delegate Ryb-
czynski. Has the amendment since been
printed, Delegate Rybczynsld?

DELEGATE RYBCZYNSKI: Yes, sir.
It is called the Joshing Journal — JJ.

THE PRESIDENT: The pages will
please distribute Amendment JJ. For what
purpose does Delegate Winslow arise?

DELEGATE WINSLOW: I rise on a
matter of personal privilege.

THE PRESIDENT: State the privilege.

DELEGATE WINSLOW: I note the pre-
sence in the balcony behind the rostrum of
a very frequent visitor to this Convention
and I should like you to join me in wel-
coming one of the most ardent campaign-
ers in the third district, Mrs. Jacqueline
Smelkinson.

(Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT: Amendment JJ is
Amendment No. 12 heretofore offered.
Please put in No. 12. That was heretofore
stated orally. It was not in writing so I
will have the Clerk read it at this time.

READING CLERK: Amendment No. 12
as amended by Report S&D-16 to Com-
mittee Recommendation No. LB-1, LB-2,
LB-3, by Delegates Rybczynski and others.
On page 7, section 3.19, Journals in lines
20, 21, and 22 strike out the following
words: "and that the transcript of debates
shall be available to the public".

THE PRESIDENT: The Chair calls your
attention to the fact that in connection with
this section you also have pending Delegate
Betty Miller's motion to reconsider the vote
by which Amendment No. 11 was adopted.
That was made after Amendment No. 12
was submitted. I call to your attention you
should have both before you. Amendment
No. 11 is the amendment marked H and
was the amendment which deleted from
line 17 on page 7 the words "for a tran-
script of its debate". Amendment No. 12
has been moved by Delegate Rybczynski
and seconded by the cosponsors. The Chair
recognizes Delegate Rybczynski.

DELEGATE RYBCZYNSKI: Mr. Presi-
dent, if you will recall on Saturday, we
went through Amendment No. 11, which
does exactly the same thing as Amendment
No. 12. However, when we asked for a rul-
ing from the Chair as to this section, it was
ruled that it would be necessary to do the
same thing twice in the same section.
