RALEIGH. N. c., January S.-Governor
Glenn says he is seriously considering
the question of delivering his biennial
message to the General Assembly Thurs
day in person, arranging n Joint session
OF the Senate and House, so that he can
address both bodies at once. His reason
for this is that the mechanical reading
OF the message in his opinion oftentimes
detracts from the effectiveness of the
message, and members in many in
stances are inclined TO give only indif-
ferent and ~listless attention. 1t Is set
tied that the Governor will request the
Assembly TO hold the joint session so
that he can read his own message, and
it is a pretty safe prediction that the
request will be granted. In that event
he will be the first Governor of North
Carolina to read his own message to Il
Legislature, although George Washington
md some Others of the early Presidents
did deliver their messages to Congress in
person.
