g in person orally.
Mr.. Morton, of New Hanover, aid
ne regretted to 10 50, but he opposed
he coming of the Governor before
he two houses. Two years ago he
opposed it. 1t was contrary to the
pirit and the letter of the Constitu-
ion, which had endeavored to SO
ledge about the distinctive rights of
he Executive. Legislative and Judi
ial departments of the State govern
nent, that encroachments of one up
on the other could be prevented. Tne
constitution specifically provided tina
the Governor should transmit" not
speak his message to the House
and the Senate.
Mr.. Morton further gave notice that
If the resolution was adopted he
should have a protest entered in the
Journal.
Mr.. Doughton, advocating the reso-
luton, said the Governor had already
transmitted in writing his message.
fhc resolution only requested the
Governor to come here in person and
read his message. The reading of the
message by the clerk was a mere per
functory matter, but being read by
its author. who was perfectly famil-
Jar with every matter treated, would
make a very different impression.
Mr.. Doughton then said that in the
closing days OF Governor Glenn's adj
mirable administration it would be
DONG nm scant justice to refuse to
invite him to appear before this
House. Mr.. D~Cughton closed with a
hearty tribute to the magnificent adj
ministration Of Governor Glenn. and
his encomium was greeted with great
applause.
Mr.. burlington, Of Iredell, and Mr..
HarshaW. Of Caldwell, stated that
two years ago they opposed The reso-
luton to have the Governor read his
message. but after they had heard
MN they We're, converted to the side
OF those desiring his reading instead
OF h clerk, and We're now heartily
in FAVOR OF inviting the Governor 10
come.
Mr. Stubs, Of Martin, strongly OPP
posed the resolution. There was
neither legal authority for it, nor Il
precedent in the past, until the inno-
walton OF " Years ago, this i%nnova-
tion having been made at the in
stance OF the same Governor. He IA
no right to come here under warrant
OF law or warrant of precedent. 1t
was an Infringement of the organic
law OF the land.
Mr.. Stubs insisted that he had no
Ieeling IN the matter and recog-
nized the great abilities and honest
urpoS of the Governor, but he
could not consent to this breach of the
law and of precedent simply out of Il
feeling Of kindness CT of respect for
SO excellent d man as the Governor
of North Carolina.
Mr.. Currie, of the committee,
strongly advocated the adoption of
he resolutions.
At this point a message was read
from the Governor requesting tina
he be allowed the privilege of read
ing portions Of his message, and
stating that this request was concur
red in by the Council of State.
Mr.. Haymore, OF Surry, spoke in
OPPOSITION to the resolution.
Mr.. Underwood, of Cumberland,
moved the adoption of the resolution
requesting the Governor to appear i'll
person before the House at 11:30 and
read his annual message.
