Some Of the ASSemblymen
Object to Secret Joint
Session Yesterday
LEGISLATURE COMMITTEE
AT STATE INSTITUTIONS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
STATE HOUSE. DOVER, Del, Jan.
25.-Much dissatisfaction has been
stirred up over the secret joint ses-
sion of the Legislature following the
Joint session TO ballot for Senator
yesterday. II is the first time, so far
as is known, that such a session has
been held behind closed doors. The
Constitution OF the State requires
that sessions of the Legislature shall
be public, but provision is made for
secret sessions Of the Senate to con-
slider confirmation of appointments
and questions OF character and fitness
that may arise. AS a matter OF fact
nothing was discussed in the secret
joint session yeterday that could not
have been talked over publicly.
Some of the legislators say it was
not a session of the Legislature but
just a Joint conference but IL is a
fact that neither branch had ar
journed when the members sitting in
Joint session were requested by Pres
ident pro tenn. Marshall 70 remain
for a conference The public was
requested to retire. and newspaper
reporters who fingered at their ta-
Nlf were 0Hhtu u itdNt iuN l0ohis
During the conference Representa-
i've Grantland and some other Re
publican members protested against
secret sessions. claiming that they
ire unconstitutional A sharp dis
ussion was held on that point. The
oint conference decided TO divide the
legislature into committees to visit
arious State institutions.
