Nr VeAdcr suggested that the Governor might
serd himself before the Court of Appeals
THAT is precisely my point, said Mr.. fassc,''
"Docs the Governor asked Mr. Jacobs. eX

measure. in lis message ~
The very sending OF the measure implies a
doubt
He doesn't say that There may be an honest
difference of opinion Tie Legislature may he
ri ,ht. and he may bc right. He shows he is will
ing 10 allow n settlement Of the question by dis
interested persons.
There is nothing on earth 10 prevent his DOING
flat on his own account.
"But YOU say he is in doubt / say he SAYS
no such thing
Then SAY that. il he has absolutely no doubt.
why does he want 10 leave il to somebody else
70 change his mind in an informal way? His duty
is 70 veto the bill. il ne has no doubt
oh let us hc practical" cried Mr. Jacobs.
Would YOU. as n friend of tho bill. take chance
Of securing the Governors signature, or RISK the
loss Of it alrogether?'
when We passed IT, we took the chance OF
the Governors veto. He vetoed il once
THAT is not an answer TO my question
"Wcn I would prefer to take my chances on
the construction of the bill after il had become
a law. and when the decision Of the court would
stand
But. don't YOU see. said Mr.. Cantor, that
u cant hccomc law while he Is the Governor,
unless the LEGISLATURE ovcrrdeS his ve'o?'
IF that is the attitude Of the Governor and
he is willing 10 be ovcrrldden by the opinion OF
fourteen individual lawyers, whf does not he get
them? Isn't the action of this Legislature, three
times repeated. and the attitude Of the entire
press Of the State. reason enough for nm

think, the court would noic Willingly comply
with tine request If it should come from the
Legislature and the Executive together.
81 don't think the Governor has so small an
opinion of the dignity of his Office
THAT is a very clever answer. hut it doesn't
answer the question.

describes tie situation exactly it simply Is that
the Governor has no shadow OF a doubt about
the constiiuioraliv of the hli but that. if four
teen udacs would tell him that he is mistaken. lie
wonld accept their ". a. one hundred and sixty
LEGISLATORS may send him word three iimes--that
wouldn't influence him. The almost unanimous
voice of the press may utter its Judgment. That
produces no impression. II the Governor is really
anxious to lie convinced, he can get this opinion
without the assistance Of tine legislature.
He makes rs IL party 10 the confession that we
haze made mistake three times in passing this
