GLYNN OUTLINES
HIS POLICIES
As Acting Governor He Will Allow No
political Earthquakes and No
Factional Reprisals.n

Albany, N. Y, Aug 2l.-There will
be no political earthquakes and no fac
tional reprisals" during the incumbency
of Martin II. Glynn as acting governor,
Mr.. Glynn so declared in statement
last night outlining his policy. The is
suance of this statement was Mr..
Glynn's first official act after taking
possession Of the new executive cham
bers on the third floor OF the capitol
assigned to him yesterday by the trus-
tees of public buildings.
On the floor beneath, Governor Sulzer
continued to discharge the functions of
chief executive in the old executive suite.
He was surrounded by his clerical stall,
the members of which were much per-
turbed over an announcement by Mr..
Glynn that they would be requisitioned
by him for service as they might be
needed. This promises an immediate
clash of authority, as attempted dis
missal may follow refusal of these en-
ployes to obey either claimant of the
governorship. Acting Governor Glynn's
statement follows:
''0wing to the duties thrust upon me
by the constitution, i wish to make
clear the policy | purpose to pursue as
acting governor.
Il do not intend to employ tempo
rary occupancy Of the governorship for
the purpose Of partisan warfare.
"Under me, as acting governor, there
will be no political earthquakes and no
factional reprisals.
II have no intention of removing de-
partmental heads for mere political rea-
sons.
II propose to discharge my sworn
for the best interests OF the
public
Il ask the hearty cooperation of all
state officials and all good citizens TO
help bring order out of chaos in the
state government until the court of i'm
peachment shall have rendered a ver-
diet.
"The duties devolying upon me ] did
not seek. They are imposed upon me
by the constitution, and |
am determined to live up to the consti-
tuition.
Il believe in law and order, and the
affairs of the state must proceed in en-
orderly manner, according to constitu-
tional provisions.
Il propose to discharge the duties of
acting governor without fear or favor,
without ostentation on advertisement,
without factional purpose or personal
motive.
no act of mine will compound the
present confusion. Official chaos must
end and the affairs OF the state proceed
as if no impeachment proceedings were

only such things as may be necessary
Tor the smooth running OF the business
If the state"
No business was transacted by the
legislature, both houses meeting and ad
ouTning until next Wednesday night
rhe Democratic leaders announced that
very effort would be made to have
quorum present then, as considerable inn
,ortant business is pending, including
he proposal to pass several bills over
Governor Suffers veto.
Acting Governor Glynn and Speaker
flynn of the assembly were the only
public buildings trustees who attended
he meeting of that board yesterday.
Both these men were members of the
I'D board, and as they constitute a quo
um it is thought that no objection can
'e raised as to the legality of their ae-
ion in designating new executive |
partments. This designation had hard |
y been made when painters got busy |
emoving the old signs upon the doors !
nd labelling them in accordance with |
he new occupancy. They had been oc-
upied by the state department of eff |
iency and economy.
