bill must be recorded in the Journal.
In his opinion it was not optional as
to whether the house wished to print
or expunge the message, and it was
the governors right and privilege to
send in such objections as he wished
in a veto message. The house did
not hear the conclusion of Mr.. Rem
bert's argument prior to taking up
other matters under its previous res
olutions. ~,
Mr.. Rembert, resuming his argu-
ment on the printing of the libel veto
message, said he understood, the ju-
dietary committee would recommend
that the libel bill be passed over the
veto Of the governor. He understood
that this recommendation had not
been incorporated in the report. He
wanted to discuss the part as to ex-
punging parts Of the message and the
recommendation to pass the bill over
the veto together. He will vote to
sustain the veto, but he wanted to
!! discuss the expunging matter as well
as sustaining the veto at one time. He
insisted that the recommendations Of
the committee were absolutely uncon-
stitutional. All he wanted tonight
was to have both parts Of the report
to 60 together and considered togeth-
er. In this matter he will defend
Governor Blease. All he wanted now
was the veto and the expunging to 60
together. .-...,-... ..' ....
Speakers Ruling. s: -
Speak Smith said the reports were
presented absolutely correctly. The
incidents and phases were absolute
ly Independent and he had so deter
mined. The reports were separate
and should be so considered, except
by unanimous consent. ~. Y
Mr.. Wander Horst, as chairman OF
the judiciary committee, said there
were two papers referred to the com
mittee, one a special message and an
other paper a vetoed bill, and there
fore two separate reports were made,
as should have been, and there was
nothing in the suggestion Of Mr. REM
! bert. : " s.@.:. ..:.5... e, ~ :,
MIR. Rembert> held that the vetoed
bill and the message go hand in hand. la
lie relieved th.s constitution had at
tempted to be oyerriden by the ju--.
dicary committee in submitting two
reports, one as to expunging the ma
jor portion of the message, and the
other to pass the act over the veto: 3.
Mr.. Wander Horst said he had no:
fight for or against the governor. He
believed the governor was wrong In
this instance. He held. that the Ian.
guage of the governor was unbecom-
ing the legislative records. It was
not a question as to views or opinions,
but merely a question Of language.
Mr.. Wander Horst held that the constl-
tuition never contemplated, and did
not say, that every word the governor
wanted printed in the Journal should
be so published; the only reason for
expunging is because of the Ian
guage. .:"..>..
Mr.. Stevenson said the report was
read, and Mr. Rembert had kept the
floor ever since. =>.>@.=
Debate Resumed Wednesday.
Many members went home this af-
ternoon. The judiciary committee
handed up both reports at one and the
same time, and if one was read before.
the other it was not the fault Of the
committee. Mr. Stevenson suggested
that the matter be taken up Monday
night and both reports be printed.
This was in line with an inquiry OF
Mr.. Magill. -. ...-E
Mr.. KDbler suggested that the argu-.
ment be continued on Wednesday.
The house decided to adjourn debate
on the, expunging report on Wednes-
day, and as only Mr.. Belser and 9th
ers objected to considering the two
reports together, and the report OF
the committee that the libel act be
passed over the governors veto Will
