the Representatives
HARTFORD. May li.-~—Thc House
9 f this afternoon adopted the resolution
. adopting the revised constitution as
' drafted by the convention a year ago
after a prolonged debate by a vote of
* 10510 104.
The resolution had no representa-
t tion'clauae attached. anti this was the
reason for the almost solid Democratic.
vote against the measure. Messrs.
Chatfieid. of New Haven. Woodruff, of
;thchtield. and Stunt) of New Milford.
explained their votes against the adop
vition of the amendment by stating tliat
in their opinion the representation
. mattter was the main question anti
that any document that did not con»
tain such a clause would be defeated
at, the polls.
Ropreseittative reform was not al-
lowed to fall out of sight in today s rio-
« bhté. {t was put forward by Mr. Wood-
ruff of Litchfield in an amendment
calling for a one to a town system
Other amendments to the, same end
of reform were not put in the evident
desire on teh part of the leaders of
the House being that any representa-
’ lion question would only block action
on the main issue. The debate
brought out some exchanges of words
between Mr. Woodrutt' anti Mr. Bowen.
the former charging that "the small
towns own the state anti are not wiri-
ing to give up any of their powers.‘
The close vote was attepted with
prolonged applause when the. clerk an-
nounced it. Out of 209 voting itin‘ were
necessary for a choice. exactly that
number voting for it. By the rule
adopted this morning this will now
need a two-thirds vote of the next as-
sembly before it goes to the people.
A motion to reconsider was rejected.

The constitutional amendment re-
ported two weeks ago and providing
for the substitution of the constitution
drafted by the convention last year
for the present document came tip for
action in the House on special order.

Mr. Scovllle explained the new con-
i'”stltutlon as reported in detail. stating
that it contained no provision as to
revision of representation in the House

for the state to hold further conven-
tions. it was a brand new document.

state at large agreed that the revision
was Worth preserving.
Mr. Wells. of Newingmn. wanted
the constitution adopted and the peo-
ple |of the state given a chance to vote
on t.
Mr. l\'irachberger. of Morris. offered
an amendment. providing that each ses-
sion of the general assembly be ad-
journed not later than May 15. He
said that the people of the state. ditl
not like to have. the legislature linger-
ing along until the. summer.
Mr. Seoviiic said that amendments
of the kind offered would only hinder
the action on the main attention.
The amendment was lost.
Mr. Woodrufl’ (Dem). of Litchfielti,
offered an amendment providing that
each town in the state shall be. entit-
led to one representative. There
was much applause on the reading of
the amendment.
Mr. Wootlritff said thatlhe consider-
ed the prefieni system of representa-
tion entirel'wrong and that it ought
to be arranged in some way so that it
should at least be. logical. His own
town hart originally been the fourth in
size in the state anti was now among
the arrtallest.. but he thought it was
entirely wrong that Litchfield should
have the same representation as New
Haven. No body had given ltirn any
reason but “we‘ve got the bulge on
the. cities and we will keep it. There
will be a change in this matter sortie
tiny and it will come in a way that we
may not like. The cities will arise in
their might anti make us do it."
Mr. Bowen. of Woodstock. vigorous
ly objected to the statement made by
.lr. Woodriifi‘ that the small towns had
the power anti meant to keep it. The
towns Were simply waiting for it time
when the cities would give a fair sys-
tem of representation to the towns
without giving the state representation
"from such a quality of men as were
shown tip in the Waterbury riots."
Mr. Woodrut‘f said in answer that he
could show printed statements from
member-its of the house that showed
they said exactly what he had said
they said: "Right or wrong Were
not in anti We're going to hang on to
it."
On Mr. Banks" motion for the prev-
ious question on Mr. Wootlrutf'it am-
thc House rejected the one
to a town amendment.
Several attempts to put the previous
question on the main proposition were
headed off by Mr. Banks anti Mr. Colt
then took the floor in favor of the pro.
nosed amendment. M r. Hubbard
be extended to ten days as in other
states. During the discussion Gover-
nort Chamberlain took a seat on the
speaker's rostrum. accompanied by ex-
Prcsident Johnson. of the. Senate of
New Jersey. Senator Johnson was

ed the members during a short recess.
Mr. Banks proposed an 'amendment
changing the method of passing the
new document from majority vote. as
in the new constitution to a two-thirds
vote. as in the old document.
Mr. Banks argued at length again
that the attention of representation be
eliminated from the debate and the
main question he kept down to the
constitution regardless or representa-
tion. His amendment he. said was
for the purpose of deciding the fate
of the new constitution by the old
method of procedure.
Mr. Bicknell. of Meriden. thought the
Banks amendment was very unfair.
Mr. Hubbard of Litchfield thought
Mr. Banks' motion to have a two-
ihirds vote pass a new eonstitutoln
was correct.
Mr. Chatfleld of New Haven said he
would withdraw some representative
amendments he had prepared. He
wanted the new resolution passed, as
the l818 constitution was tattered and
torn. and the new one was up to date.
Mr. loaloe. of Glastonbury. thought
Mr. Banks' twoihlrd vote amendment
ought to pass. as it would help the
dual adoption of the document.
Mr. Banks answered that the ques
tion was a practical one and that if
his amendment was adopted there. was
some. chance that the constitution be
passed.
On motion for the previous Question
on the Banks‘ amendment the House
adopted it by a vote of 118 to 30. Dr.
Bowen (Rent and the Democratic mi-
nority voted against the amendment.
Mr. Scovelle then moved the previ-
ous question on the main resolution
and gave way to Mr. Banks of Fairfleld
for the closing argument.
Mr. Banks in a carefully elaborated
speech. outlined the reasons why the
new constitution should be adopted.
He said that many of the. moat emi-
nent lwyen of the state were in the
convention and that the document as
drafted was a "splendid piece of work
as conceded by everybody." The only
reason it was defeated at the polls was
the representative clause. One change
from the old constitution was the ma-
jority vote necessary to ms! it and
the House by action this morning had
put this back to where it was in the
first place. The only othiar change
was the provision regarding calling a
new constitutional convention. He
mid that the new proposition made it
1 convention. No hm were let down.
