I Il believe that a majority Of the as

so,' said Senator Conner. III So there
may be a majority Of the Kent mem

favor OF resubmission at ALL but II
there IS 70 be another vote taken in
any one district, why not vote generally
on the matter
Il am fully convinced, however, that
whenever a majority Of the members
OF any one district so petition, the Leg
islature must pass the bill providing
for the election and for the penalties.
But this must not apply one way. II
a majority from Sussex should petition
