An Associated Press reporter asked Mr..
Martin what course Governor Clarke
would take In the matter
Upon this l can say TINT, under the
law, the governor of the state has no mower
on authority to interfere except upon GER
tain contingencies that cannot possibly
arise in this case Governor Clarke can be
relied upon at all times and under all cir
oumstances to sec that the laws of the state
are enforced, so far as authority to do so is
invested In him by the laws and constitu-
tion of our state. His official action is
equally beyond the influence of the puri-
tan, the pharisee or the outlaw. He will
be dictated by no influences except his own
sense of duty, and any one capable of de-
terinining the duties of a governor, as do
nned by law, can forecast his line of action
with greater certainty than by any other
test"
But suppose the governor should call
special session of the Legislature, and rec
ommend that prize fighting be made q
felony?" .7
Upon this point the views of the gov
ernor are SO well known in our state that
i feel that he would not take such action"
