Sections | and OF article 4 were
adopted without discussion.
Mr.. Cooch wanted to amend section
3 no as to require only a majority vote
of the Senate to confirm the appoint,
ment of ths Chancellor and Judges.
MIR. Spruance defended the report OF
the committee, saying that the idea
was to make tho Governor cautious.
DIR. Pratt said the three- fifths 70
quirement would be in the nature of
an intimidation to the Governor, and
Mr.. Bradford favored majority.
According to Mr.. Hartman tho re-
quirement OF two-thirds vote would
operate in taking away from rhe
Governor the power to appoint and
vesting that power in the Senate.
The amendment to strike out three
fiftbs and insert majority was then
adopted by rising vote.
DIR. Pratt then moved TO eliminate
that portion of the section which pro-
vides for nom partisan judiciary, aud
spoke in favor of the amendment. Mr..
salisbury opposed the amendment,
saying that he believed there was a
sentiment against having all the judges
of one political party, and Mr.. Spfu-
ance also spoke in favor of the nom
partisan feature, saying tEat he had
known of Governors who said they
wished there was some constitutional
provision that would Justify them in
making appointments from the opposite
political party.
Mr.. Clark opposed the amendment.
snying that his constituents were very
much in favor OF the nom partisan idea.
Mr.. johnson said that in his opinion
it was wrong to inject any such idea
into the Constitution and benesth the
dignity OF the convention.
Mr.. Martin opposed the motion to
strike out. saying that he had always
believed in non partisan judiciary.
Mr.. Hartman opposed the report, say
ing that it injected politics into tho
courts. MIR. Cavender took the opposite
view. On call OF tho yeas and nays
