TEA PARTIES \ AND BANQUETS
 FOR GOVERNORS

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 30-The Gov ernors who came to Kentucky, to confer on how the ship of the State should be piloted, have started off by jettisoning heavy cargo of burning issues and are merrily sailing away on a placid sea of tea parties. ban quets and receptions. These questions they declare, verge close to the shores of politics. Some of the western Coy ernors who came to the conference to help the advance of progressive political ideas, are wondering what they are here for. The committee on procedure was composed of Governor Fort, of New Jersey, chairman; Gov ernor Draper, of Massachusetts; Gov ernor Ansell of South Carolina and Governor Harmon of Ohio.
 The Governors have also refused to discuss votes for women and uniform divorce laws, which the women want. The House of Governors has been the recipient of bombarment of letters, from Woman's Suffrage organizations all over the country, asking that they please do something or, at least show where the House stands on this is- sue. The House dodges.
 "The duties of the Governors are executive, not legislative" said Cover nor Wilson of Kentucky, explaining.
 There is likelihood that an insur- gent movement may develop among the western Governors who will demand that these issues be discussed before the Governors start for their homes.
 This morning the House of Cover nors moved from Frankfort, where 1t held its first session, to Louisville, where the remaining sessions are to be held Governor Norris read a pa- per on conservation from the States standpoint. He favorS State conser- vation as against National conserva- tion. He called the National conser- vationists "faddists'' and made the issue State conservation vs. National conservation, as one between the east and the west.
