tional convention. was taken up.

ment providing hat the constitution

ticn.

ARMED stranuous!y in favor of tie
amendBert. 1t vas opposed 5v Sena-
tors DoneIson, Wilson, zimmerman and
Dozier. It was favored by Senators
Evans and Moore.
Senator Donelson opposed it on tie
ground, chiefly, that il was for the GEO
PIE to say If they wanted S convention
and that when they elected delegates TO

those delegates would act II accord
with those who sent them. senator
Smythe conten6eN that he could not see
how those who respected and trusted
the people could oppose this PROPOSE
tion, which was TO give the people an
opportunity of passing upon the changes
made in their fundamental laws. II
MIGHT be. in fact. that the convention
would be composed of inexperienced
men. who would lave 10 check upon
their actions except a recon initial to
the people.
The friends Of the resolution sug-
gested that the amendment might delay
