JUD EXPLAINS.
In explaining his vote upon the agricul.
cultural college appropriation bill, Mr.. La
Moure stated that Mr.. Worst hadreceived
$500 for his services as lieutenant cover.
nor for 10 months services, also $4,5OO
from the agricultural college as it's presi.
dent making 5000 in all that
he had received from the state. MI. La.
Moure said that the gentleman. had nc
right to hold the two offices at the same
time and in support of his position read
section rs of the state constitution
which provides that the lieutenant gov.
can not hold any other office dur.
ing his term. This being the case Mr.
LaMoure thought that Mi. Worst should
either refund to the state the 1880 he
took for his salary as lieutenant governor
or the $500 he took as president of the
college, and would, therefore, vote
against the bill.
Mr.. LaMoure closed his remarks by
saying that he did not consider Mr.
Worst in any other light than a mar
wholly unfit for the position.
