a matter of course. the Governor was
dragged in for a share of the blame for
having allowed this iniquity to flourish
under his very eyes.

and now came to the rescue of the club
by offering an amendment that the
throne room be used for the Court OF

have vacated it.
Robertson: This resolution is

has right to sit wherever it chooses.
1t has chosen to be in the heart of the
community and this Legislature cannot
force it to sit in the Bungalow. Why
not use the drill shed or Judge Dickey's
court In place of the Officers CIub?"
