RECONSIDER
BY A MAJORITY
Continued from page l.

Cranes substitute, motions to insert,
strike out, lay on the table, recon-
NIT, vote up and vote down, and SUBJ
stitutes by the dozen had gone to the
wall. Thurman spoke for the COM
mittee through all the stormy time,
the task being much too heavy for
Chichester. Finally, the section was
left practically as the committee of
the whole had reported it ITO the con-
Vention. 1t reads as follows:
The Final Section.
after the adoption of the constitu-
ton, all general elections for state,
district, county, precinct, municipal,
school and judicial officers, shall be
held on the Tuesday next following
the first Monday in the year in which
the election is held. Special elections
may be held as provided by law. The
terms of all officers elected ait any
general election shall commence on
the first Monday in January, next fol-
lowing the date of their election. Jul
dicial and school officers shall not be
elected on any day when other Off
GERS are elected but the time of their
election shall be as provided by law"
Can Reconsider Any Time.
When the motion came up on the
adoption of the whole article, Squires
called attention to the fact that
Thurman had promised to move to
reconsider on woman suffrage if that
should be found desirable. He said
If the article should be passed that
motion would be shut out and he sug-
gested that the article should go over
for a little time.
Thurman said the way to get around
that was to suspend the rules so as
- Ill ~ - h. d. -
any time. This was carried and this
motion can be made at any time.
By n Majority Vote.
During the debate, 1t was contended
by Hart and by Vartan in the chair,
that under the rules it will require
only a majority to reconsider instead
of two-thirds of the members.
The vote was then taken on the
whole article. Bowdle and Button
tried ito split their votes and be re-
corded AYE" on the section and mo"
on woman suffrage. Eichnor and
Evans, of Utah, explained they were
against section a. Kerr and Lam
bert said they were in favor of a
separate article.

pact with the United States was then
taken up and passed without particular

committee arose.
