senate Document No. Q. but l am
convinced mat at this time such leg
islat'on Is uncalled for, unwise and
contrary to what was in the minds
and hearts Of those who framed our
original Constitution. The Chair
realizes that he is not obliged to
vote except in cases OF a tie, but he
prefers to waive this fact, which
might at times save him from EN-.
barrassment. and to take his stand
with the other members of the Sem
ate as the roll is called on various
matters.
l also wish to say at this time that
have not, directly or indirectly at
tempted to influence the vote of any
member of the Legislature on this or
any other matter before it, and I
hardly need to give assurance that
my course in the future will be the
same. l can not conscientiously sup
port the Resolve. and I vote Yes"
on the motion to accept the majority
report.
Mr.. BREWSTER: Mr.. President. I
