 | MT. Hefin-The Chair rules in the | face of Rule 29 that it requires a sus- | pension of the rules. I was satisfied the Convention would not suspend the
 rules for that purpose. I now move
 and wish to state my reasons why Objection was made. Mir. Jenkins-I would like to ask the | gentleman a question. President pro tem--Will the gentle | man yield?
 MT. Hefin-Yes. MT. Jenkins-I would ask if the Con- vention could not go into Committee of the Whole. and if the gentleman will accept that; that the Convention re- solve itself into a Committee of the Whole this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Mir Graham (Talladega)-1 rise to a | point of order. The rules of this Con-
