Speaker. I admit it. but they are not materially different. because in the BisbeeFiuley case the committee held one provision of the Constitution which was mandatory in its language to be directory merely. The language wasthat certain persons offering to vote should-" shall" was the language usedpresent to the officers certain naturalization papers at the time they offered to vote. That was a part of the constitution of Florida. and yet the Committee on Elections in construing it said the clause was not mandatory. although it was a part of the organic law of the land of Florida. but was directory merely. Hero they undertake to hold that so far as amandatory law passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania is in conflict with rhe constitution both of them must stand. both of them must be held to be mandatory. although they squarely conflict.
