A Little Lieutenant Governor

In his speech to the Tippecanoe
Club at Cleveland Thursday night
Lieutenant Governor Treadway de-
clared that Governor lHarmon's at
Ititude in demanding taxation reform
and power to investigate the state
Offices was dictated by politics. was
insincere, lacked good faith, and
was nothing more than buncombe.
So this Is the sort or man whom
the Republican legislature demeed
should name one of the committee
Of two, the governor 10 name the
other. II a committee is named to
Investigate state offices and institu-
tions.
Besides the grave breach of Of
fetal courtesy by the lieutenant gov
ernor, entirely unprovoked by word
or deed on the part of Governo'
Harmon, the lieutenant governor is
giving additional proof OF the
partisan hostility maintained toward
the governor from the beginning OF
he administration
The Republican legislative would
not give the governor the authority
he asked to investigate state offices
and institutions. II passed a bill
to create Il committee of two men
10 whom executive authority should
be delegated To still further di-
vide executive authority and bic the
hands Of Goernor Harmon, the leg
islature took away from the COVER
NO the right to- name both mem
hers of such committee, a restric-
ton never before placed on any gov
ernor in the 106 years Of the states
existence, by empowering the lieu
tenant governor TO name one Of the
probers.
Does anv rational man suppose
that a lieutenant governor who
would make such a vivacious. un-
rooked and unwarranted attack on
the goernor as Mr.. Treadway was
guilty OF in his Tippecanoe club
speech world deal fairly with the
governor in the creation or a com
mittee to probe state offices and in
stitutions?
In his attempt to belittle the
states lhg governor the ltitle lieu
tenant governor has only further
belttled himself.
