The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-08-02
Legislature for this Constitutional Con-

Mr. deGraffenreid--I am trying to find out where the Democratic party said it would remain only fifty days in session.
 MT. Sloan-I don't know. only that candidate from our county came hack and told us and thought 1t was true. J never found out that 1t was not, ] hope the Convention will adopt this amendment. I think 1t is nothing but justice, and a large minority under the whole section as 1t is will not have rep resentation before the Board of Regls- trars and think they ought to have 1t.
 MT. Chapman-I move to lay the amendment on the table.
 MT. Morrisette-Will the gentleman from Blount permit an inquiry? l would like to ask the gentlemen if in his experience in politics
 MT. Sloan-This Is my first experi- ence, want to tell you-
 MT. Morrisett-to appoint one Repub- lican, a Populist and Democrat, IT you will ever register any body?
 MT. Chapman-I insist upon my mo- ton.
 MT. Morrisette-I ask the gentleman to please answer my question l ask 1t in good faith.
 MT. Sloan-I will answer the ques- ton. I think it will depend altogether upon the Registrars about that.
 MT. Morrisette-One Republican one a Democrat and one a Populate, could you get those three people together. on any proposition on earth. I never agreed with a Populite on any proposi- ton in my life, and If was member of the board I could not agree with one.
 MT. SloAn-You remind me Of the gentleman that was always fussinK with his wife. She had been trying to please him in every way possible and when he came to his dinner she met him at the door with his dinner on plate, and finally he found out he could not find any other way to get row with her, he threw the place on the floor and 1t broke ali to pieces. He said, 1t is row I want and row I am going to have. (Laughter) The President-The question is on the motion of the gentleman from Sum ter to table the amendment of the gentleman from blount. A vote being taken the motion to table was adopted.
 MT. white-I move the adoption of the subdivision 2. and on that I call for the previous question. ME. please withdraw that-I have an amendment. MT. white-I withdraw it. but hope
 the gentlemen will renew it after the amendment Is read.
 The Secretary read the amendment as follows: that the Legislature shall by law provide for the purging of the reg istration list of the names of those H. legally registered or those who die. become insane, convicted of crime or otherwise disqualified as electors under tn eprovisions of this Constitution. MT. White-I will state to the gen.
 tieman from Montgomery that we have just such a provision as that which think will be more appropriate at another place.
 MT. Lomax-I did not know. I will withdraw my amendment. The President-The question Is shall the main question be now put.
