AMENDMENTS TO THE AMENDMENT.
Mr.. sykes offered two amendments to
this amendment, one providing that one
tenth of the qualified voters can make the
contest before the Superior Court, and
another that upon such a petition of CON
test the Superior Court may examine into
he conduct of the managers of the cleo
ton, IS well as the conduct of the Ordi-
nary.
The amendment provoked discussion
and the chair was asked to rule the
amendment out of order because the
Senate had passed upon the matter on the
passage OF the original bill.
The chair held that the amendment was
In order.
Mr. Cabanss thought that the amend
mant was a proper one, and that 1t was
fair that an election, upon the petition of
one-lenth OF the qualified voters who voted
in the election, should be revised by the
Superior Court. He also held that it
guards against the claim that such a pro-
cedure would entail delay.
HASTE DEPRECATED.
HeuTged that there ought to be delay
when is to prevent fraud and to prevent
TIE will of the people from being oYerrid-
den by such fraud.
Mr. Allen believed that the amendment
would place the bill in great jeopardy.
ltsadopuOn would defeat the objects to be
accomplished under the bill. He had
ueaTd- sipce the amendment was offered,
opponents of the bill say: "Put ON that
amendment, and we will make you
sie6 OIL temperance" He had no pet
measure to add to the bill and nothing 10
.aAe rom 1t, II was not exactly as he
lssHea II. lie would rather have it more
'ulct IN It's provisions. The bill was for
9ula'ed by the vigorous brain of Georgia
,gr .:l, loe public good, and he was willing to
fisA 1t and stand by it.
