Mr. Dick moved to amend section by
giving the election of Superior Court Judges
to the people and limiting the officer to Il
term of years.
Mr.. Dick held that the people would make
as good selections for Judges as the Legisla-
ture-that the people being the very persons
who entrust their fortunes, their lives and
sacred honor to the Judges, would conse-
quently choose men ofproperty and learning.
The system of electing Judges in the Legis-
lature was well known to be what is termed
clog rolling" The capacity and qualitica-
tions OF candidates were seldom considered
in the Halls of the Assembly
Beside the limitation of the term of the
office of the Judges, and giving their cleo
tion to the people, would place the prize of
an honorable ambition before the members
of the Bar, and serve as an incitement to
lives of integrity and probity. The other
States which have adopted this proposed
system of election by the people, are pleased
with it, and do not desire a change.
Mr.. Dick said he had no objection to the
present incumbents, and would cheerfully
consent to their present term being consider
ed the 1st term in the 8 years system.
The yeas and nays were demanded, and
resulted as follows:
