No. 6. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 37'J 



The CHAIRMAN: Clearfield having received the majority of the 

 votes east, I declare it as the next place of meeting. 



MR. HERR: Mr. Chairman, no one place has received the majority, 

 and I move that we proceed to another ballot. 



MR, HUTCHISON: The Chair has already made his decision. 



MR. EDGE: Has the Committee on Credentials reported? 



The SECRETARY: It has. 



The CHAIRMAN: We will withdraw that decision and take an- 

 other ballot. 



MR. HUTCHISON: Mr. Chairman, your idea is to have a majority 

 of all the votes cast? 



The SECRETARY: I will state that we have had no time to 

 revise the roll since the report of the Committee on Credentials 

 has been adopted, and whenever anyone whose name is called, 

 who has not been re-elected, he will please not vote. I will 

 call the roll this time by counties and then there will be no mis- 

 take. 



MR. BLYHOLDER: I move you that the place receiving the high- 

 est number of votes be declared the next place of meeting. 



MR. HERR: I would like to suggest that the place having the low- 

 est number of votes be dropped from the list after the next ballot. 



Motion seconded by Mr. Hutchison. 



DR. CONARD: I will change my vote to Clearfield, if I have that 

 privilege. 9 



The CHAIRMAN: The motion before the house is to proceed to 

 another ballot. 



The SECRETARY: I think that Mr. Heir intended that that 

 should be amended so that after this ballot the place receiving the 

 lowest number of ballots be dropped. 



Mr. Rodgers made the same motion just previously made by Mr. 

 Herr. 



MR. HERR: I move as a substitute, to drop the place receiving the 

 lowest vote after the first ballot. 



MR. BLYHOLDER: Mr. Chairman, I am willing to accept that. 

 It seems to me that we are laboring at a disadvantage. We cer- 

 tainly have precedents establishing how the election should be 

 conducted. I do not believe that we ever before required that the 

 place should have a majority of all the votes cast. 



MR. EDGE: Mr. Chairman, there is nothing in the by-laws that re- 

 fers to the matter of our selecting a place of the next meeting at all. 



The SECRETARY: In order that we may get out of the tangle 

 that we are in, I think if Mr. Blyholder will withdraw his motion 

 it will simplify matters. The original motion of Mr. Herr is capable 

 of amendment. 



Mr. Blvholder withdrew his motion.
