 The President--who were otherwise

 The President-<Does the Com,nittee accept the amendment7
 MT. white-No sir.
 The iPresident--The question will be upon the question offered by the gen. tleman from Greene.
 MT. White-I want to state that the difficulty about. the amendment offered by the gentleman from Greene IS thai 1t deprives all those who happen not to be registered at the time; that Is, per- sons who move from one ward to an- other in the cities. and they move there every year. They are not allowed to vote at all under his ar ger in 1t, those coming of age since that time, and those who moved into the county since that time are not al- lowed to register. and there is the dan ger in It. Nts
 MT. Coleman (Greene)--This Is a very important proposition. It will not do to undertake to register them all, because we can never do 1t, but all who have been registered, and are competent, and if you desire 1t. all those who have become vf age, just so you do not require them all to. come and register again.
 Mr. White-lt should be just like the Committee reported 1t. We studied 1t carefully. That was gone over by the Committee. The Committee adopt cd what they thought was the only feasible thing to do and to carry out our pledges that we would re-submit this question to the people of Ala bama. a4st
