READING CLERK: Amendment No. 10
to Report S&D-18 by Delegate Mudd. On
page 59, section 26, Application of Section
5.22 to Judges Now in Office, in line 22
strike out the word "such", and in the same
line after the word "judge" add the words
"of those courts".
THE PRESIDENT: The amendment is
submitted by Delegate Mudd. Is there a
second?
(Whereupon, the motion was duly sec-
onded.)
THE PRESIDENT: The amendment
having been seconded, the Chair recognizes
Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: Mr. Chairman, this
is purely an amendment for clarification
and has to do with the improvement, we
hope, in the language of section 5.26.
I call attention of the delegates to line 22
where the sentence now beginning with
"The continuance in office" says "each such
judge who is required to stand for reten-
tion of his judicial office". The word "such",
as we have been often reminded, is not
thought of very kindly by Style and Draft-
ing, so the purpose of this amendment is to
strike the word "such" between "judges"
and insert after the words "of those
courts", referring to the courts in the early
part of the section.
We feel this will clarify the meaning and
I ask the delegates to vote for the
amendment.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any further
discussion?
Are you ready for the question?
The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.

tribute amendment K, "K" for "king".
This will be Amendment No. 11.
The Clerk will read the amendment.
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 11
to Report S&D-18 by Delegate Mudd. On

DELEGATE MUDD: Mr. President, fel-
low delegates, this amendment again is an
effort to clarify the section 27 with respect
to the elected judges to continue in office
under this transitional provision of the
constitution.
It is a little difficult to follow, but the
amendment would result in the section 27
reading as follows: "Any judge of any
