today, as though it was necessary 10
change the constitution of this State
for that particular purpose, when it is
not necessary, and if we study the con-
stitution and history of our State we
will see that it is not necessary. This
Legislature has the power of impeach-
ment whenever any officer high in
authority in the county or in the State
fails to do his duty-at all times the
Governor may call the Legislature to-
gether for that particular purpose. It
is not true that any officer high in
authority cannot be impeached at any
time. He can be. and no additional
law is necessary. The law is strong
enough and we'll enough as it is today.
M. Mckinney of Bridgton moved
that when the vote is taken it be ty
the yeas and nays.
The motion was agreed to.
The SPEAKER: The question is on
the substitution of the minority for the
maIority report, and the majority re-
port is that the bill ought not to pass.
AL those in favor OF substituting the
minority for the majority report Will
say yes When their names are called;
all those opposed will say no. The
Clerk will call the roll.
