II was q case lot ealing upon the
represent atives of the country.
Del. Carter thought his own
amendment covered all the present
necessity for that OF Coun. Emme-
luth. His position was that he be-
leved in having an Advisory Coun.
Gil, but he did not wish to see this
Article hampered with a provision
giving the Advisory Council legisla-
tive power He thought there we're
sufficient checks elsewhere in the
draft to avoid the abuse Of power
feared by Couu. Tenney.
Del. Baldwin was hardly prepared
to vote on this question to day. He
therefore would move to refer the
Article to the Committee on Legis-
lature. He did not agree with Mr..
Carter, as he did not believe in Civ.
ing the Council power to make and
change laws or appropriate money.
Pres. Dole thought members were
working in the dark. They should
keep Art. ~, relating to the Advi-
sorry Council, in sight. He moved
in amendment that the Article in
hand be deferred TO lie considered

Pres. Dole said the general rule
had been To make legislatures the
judges Of qualifications VI thsir own
members. Yet the tendency Of
human nature was to he led by ipte-
rest, aud he believed this provision
to remove such questions from the
arena OF party interest was a dis
tinct step 10 advance. He inst anced
the Hayes.Tilden contest in the
United States. where every member
OF Congress voted according I, his
party's interests.
Vice. President Wilder And the

Pres. Dole Yes, and the judges.
Del. Carter favored the provision.
