 The President-The question will be on the motion of the gentleman from Washington to reconsider the vote. whereby the amendment was adopted.
 MT. Samferd--I understood this vote was on the reconsideration of the whole section
 The President--The vote just taken was to reconsider the vote whereby the section wassadopted. Now the question is to reconsider the vote whereby the amendment was adopted.
 MT. White-Which amendment was that. MT. President?
 The President-The amendment offer lT, de Graffenried. MT. White-As understood the read- ing of the section as amended, there was an amendment adopted at a later time than the amendment of the deie- gate from Hale. The Presfdent-No, the gentleman is mistaken.
 MT. White--T am not, from the read ing of the section by the secretary. The President-It may have been read out of it's order.
 The Clerk-They were read out of order.
 Mir. White-I make the point of order that the Journal shows different. The President-The last amendment | adopted was the amendment offered by the gentleman from Hale, and the mo- tion now is to reconsider the vote whereby the Convention adopted that l amendment.
 MT Boone-That vote was in favor of a reconsideration of the section. Now. MT. President, I move you to strike out from the section the amend ment offered by the gentleman from Hale. and on that move the previous question.
 Mir. White--I make the point of order that the motion is not In order. The President-The Chair would rule that the motion of the gentleman from Mobile is not in order for the res son there is question pending. and that | is the motion of the gentleman frcm Washington to reconsider the vote whereby the amendment offered by the gentleman from Hale was adopted. MT Samford-On that I call for the | previous question. l MT White--I make the point of order tn NEaA la amendments and the adoption of those | amendments as shown by the Journal. | and that we cannot remember contrary | to the Journal
 The President--The gentleman Is cor rect. The Journal will control, unless the Journal Is corrected. but 1t is in the power of the Convention to correct the Journal if they see fit. Mir. deGraffenrled-I rise to a point of inquiry.
 The President-But the Journal sus- the amendment offered by the gentle man from Hale was the last offered. Mir. deGraffenrted-I rise to a ques- l tion of inquiry to save time. As I un- derstand 1t the whole section was adopted by the House on Saturday. and has now been reconsidered and is be- fore the House. Will not the gentle man from Mobile move as a substitute for the pending question, that so much of the section as as injected by vir- tue of my amendment should be stricken therefrom.
 The President The Chair is inclined to think, after the. convention has adopted this amendment upon a direct vote, that the proper mode of reaching 1t, instead of making another amend ment by striking out, would be to move to reconsider the action whereby the amendment. to the section was adopted.
 Mir. Boohe-4 call for the p:c1ious question.
 Upon vote the main question was ordered.
 MT. Wilson (Wash!ngton)-Id desire to offer a substitute. At the suggestion of members around me, move to lay the amendment offered by the gentle man from Hale on the table.
 Mir. Reese-I make the point of order that the gentleman rose for the pur- pose of offering a substitute and then made a motion to lay the amendment on the table.
 MT. Wilson (Washington)-The sub stitute had not reached the secretary, and had not been read.
 MT. Reese-The gentleman stated that he rose for the purpose of offering substitute and he should not be | recognized at the time that he made the motion to table.
 Mr. Wilson (Washlngton)-I had the floor, and 1t seems to be 1t is imme- teral that I rose to do one thing and | did another.
 The President-The Chair Is unable to control the mental operations of delegates while on the floor.
 The motion to table the amendment was carried upon a viva voce vote. Mir. deGraffenried--I give notice that on tomorrow, after calling the roll. snail move to take from the table the amendment which has just been laid upon the table.
 l MT. Wilson, rise to a point of in l quiry. Is not that in effect recon siGering more than once? The President--The Chair would hold that a motion to take from the table would be in order. MT. Jones (Montgomery)-I would l like to inquire where the original sec | tion now StandS.
 The Presidential Is before the house for consideration.
 Mir. Jones-With the other amend meAts.
 The President-With the other l amendments which were incorporated into it, yes.
 MT. Jones (Montgomery)-Now move the previous question on the sec- ton as reported, with the amendments thereto which were adopted. Upon a vote being taken, the main | question was ordered. MT. deGraffenried-I want to give notice that l voted for the adoption of ! tn
