large vote Is 10 l2i. The usual protest was made
against the decision oil the Speaker that the bill was
cs.r,ied IL being contended as former occasions

This subject came up as SPECIAL order.
Senator Low made some verbal corrections 10 The
bill
Senator Ganson moved to amend by requiring
proof to be furnished by the persons authorized TO
cast the ballot. This would clearly defeat the prac
teal operation OF the law.
Senator Bailey made forcible argument in de-
tense of the lstitutionality Of the bull to which
Senator GanSoa replied, claiming that he would
not vote for a bill which he thought OF doubtful
cOnsttutionallty, whatever might De the elect to
hIiu personally, or 10 his party.
Senator Low followed, clearly showing the friv-
oousness of the objections TO the law, claiming that
the act was eminsn,ly just and proper, en- act OF
duty to the soldier, and that no harm could result TO
the country from its passage, the soldier being we'll
analifed to Judge how he should vote Senator Low
further regretted that any political considerations
sbouid have been urged. Inc law should De passed
because 1t was right.
Senator Angel argued that by the proposed act
there was no Infringement OF the Constitution
distinguishing between the statute law, which was
always under the control of the Legislature and
90 provision Of the Constitution.

orDg to show that the law was unconstitutional and
- impolitic. 80

ac0n would DO, desired to express bis dissent from
