Constitutional Amendment.
Continued from 9Th prge.

ted States senator or congressman, OF
the president OF the United States.
Suppose there had been just n ma.
jority OF tine entire vote polled in the
state for state officers at the late
election, cast In favor Of the amend
ment, then 1t would have been adopt
ed by the vote Of one man would it
not?
But II there were any doubt about
the proper construction of Section
213, it seems to me IL is resolved
clearly in favor Of the construction
conIended for by those who favor the
amendment, by the fact that the
Constitution hedges the question
round about by the provision, first
That, the proposed amendment must
be passed by a two-,hirdS vote Of each
house OF the legislature, secondly. the
amendment must be ''iuseitcd" by
the legislature.
These safe guards are OF far more
importance than the mere question
OF how many votes the proposition
received at the polls. 1t Is simply
necessary that it be properly submit.
ted. II people do not want to vote
on the amendment, by what law can
you make them vote? The truth Is.
there is a large number Of people who
are Indifferent as to how the judges
are chosen. They are in doubt about
the wisdom Of the change. but are
willing that 1t shall be tried and so
did not vote. 1t may be safely assert
ed | think, that many electors who
voted in the late election who is op-
posed to an elective Judiciary voted
against the amendment. and all the
remaining electors voted for it. or are
indifferent to IL.
In this condition of the matter. !
think til legislature ought, and will
insert the amendment, and promptly
provide for the election of the judges |

sippi. against the elective judiciary
amendment and democracy.
After an amendment passes the
legislature, Sec. 273 our constitution
requires that II shall be finally set
t ed at san election at which the Gu =.
lied electors shall vote directly for or
against such go. amendment; -.
and If it shall appear That a majority
of the qualified electors voting shall
have voted for the proposed . j..
amendment, then it shall be inserted
by the next proceeding legislature as
a part Of the Constitution, and not
otherwise
The term "qualitied electors vot.
ing" naturally means those who"shall
directly vote for or against such . j..
amendment, above referred to, in
the same sentence. 1t cannot be
reasonably held otherwise, except by
isolating the last clause of thar sen.
tence, and straining .lic words Of
that isolated part to the accomplish
mcnt of a desired purpose,
1t Is almost absurd to contend,
where 1t is not otherwise unequivo-
cally provided, that the votes cast
for one Office OF measure should con
trol the vote cast on wholly differ
ent question, especially where the
provisions controlling the election on
that very question requires that
''the qualified electors shall vote d.
rectly for or against such . . amend
ment.h
The argument that a majority of
votes cast directly for or against
an amendment should not be decisive
because, possibly. only one or two
votes might be cast, applies to every
question that is submitted to the peo-
pie for a decision, at an election. 1t
il possible that there should be three
candidates for district attorney, and
that enc should receive three votes,
while the other two received two
votes each, and the mar with the
three votes should be elected. Such
remote possibilities do not control the
making Of laws or constitutions,
Those who stay away from the polls.
or go there and fail to vote upon the
various questions submitted, confer
their rights upon questions which
they do not act on those who do act
a I'd vote. Such is the almost uni
yersal law.
