 So the motion to table the motion to | reconsider was lost. During the roll call:- MT. Oates-I am paired with the dele gate from Butler. MT. Long; and if he were present he would vote no and would vote aye.
 l MT. Samford-I am paired with some gentleman on that proposition, but | have forgotten who it is, and I there | fore ask to be allowed not to vote at all.
 MT. Sanford (Montgomery)-As am against the suspension of the legisla- tive power of the people for four years. | I shall vote no.
 After the roll call:-- MT. White-I want to announce that was paired with my colleague from Jefferson, MT. Cornwell, who would have voted aye and l no. I overlooked l 1t at the time the roll was called. MT. Oates-I am informed that I was | mistaken in regard to the way the dele gate from Butler would vote if he were | present; that he would vote the same
 way that have voted, aye. The President-The Secretary will
 call the roll of delegates. Mir. Sanford (Montgomery)-As.u un- | der the rules I was not permitted to argue this question-to be allowed to put in the stenographic report what would have said if I had been given an opportunity MT. Rogers (Sumter)-I move that permission be given him to print his
 remarks in the stenographic report. Upon vote being taken, permission | was granted.
 MT. Beddow-I rise to question of personal privilege. In The Montgom- cry Advertiser this morning 1t Is re- ported that appealed from a decision of the President of this Convention Among other things, it says President Knox ruled that the point of order was not well taken, and Mir. Beddow ap- pealed from the decision of the chair. ] desire to say that at no time durine the session of this Convention have appealed from the ruling of the Presi- dent That so far IS l am concerned the relations between myself and the | President have been most pleasant, SC
 much so that have always been will
 ing to sustain the President
 mittee on Schedule. Printing and
 Incidental Expenses made a re-
 port on a resolution that l had intro duced and the passage of which had | at heart, because it came from those | who elected and sent me to this Con vention and was sustained by Zo'oVO voters of the State of Alabama and l that resolution was placed upon the calendar but my motion that the reso-
 lution be taken up and put upon us passage was ignored. l acqu!esced Ill | that ruling of the President, but on yesterday. while the gentleman from | Chambers (Judge Robinson) was In the Chair. a committee made a report. In order to sustain the President l raised the point of order that that should take | the same course that my resolution had taken and in everything the point of order the ruling of the President was reversed. My intention in making the | point of order was to sustain the rul- 1 ing of the President of this CCnven- tion and I desire to ask that the Mont | gomery Advertiser to do me tfe ccur- tesy of saying l did not appeal from | the President of the Convention. The President-The StanoSrdpher will note the gentleman's statement. Mir Blackwell yielded his turn to MT. Williams of Marengo. Resolution No. 245. by MT. Williams of Marengo.

 | The roll of the Committees was call-
 ed and when the Committee on Scned-
 ule, Printing and Incidental Expenses was reached MT. Heflin of Randolph, called up the report of that Committee
 which had heretofore been placed on l the calendar.
 The report was read as follows: Report of the Committee on Schedule, Printing and Incidental Expenses. ] Mir. President:
