Senator Walker of Somerset moved
that the convention do now proceed to
the election of a commissioner of ag-
riculture.
Senator BOYNTON Of Lincoln: Mr..
Chairman. 1 can certainly see no
good reason why this convention at
this time should see fit to skip over
the list that has been on our consti-
tuition for years and leave the head
of 1t that we have been working upon
for several days and take up the last
man appointed. OF course, the motive
for that is plain to be seen; I hope,
however, that this convention will at
this time vote down this motion.
The question being on the motion
of Senator Walker Of Somerset, that
the convention proceed to vote for
commissioner of agriculture,
viva voce vote being doubted,
Mr.. Descoteaux of Biddeford called
for division.
Chairman HERSEY: The Chair will
appoint the monitors of the House as
the monitors Of the convention. The
pending question is on the motion Of
Senator Walker Of Somerset, that the
convention proceed to ballot for a
commissioner Of agriculture. Those in
favor of the motion will rise and stand
in their places uptil counted.
division being had, SO voted in
the affirmative and 81 against.
So the motion was lost.
