pointing out that there is no DISPOSE
tion on the part of the governors to
interfere with other bodies created for
the government of the country.
There was feeling. early in the
history of this conference" Gov. Spry
said, that we might some day attempt
to usurp some of the functions of Con-
gress or other bodies by making rec
concentrations or trying to influence
legislation. but We always have pointed
out that our work al this conference
relates to the practical administra tion
of state affairs in our own states solely
In response to an address of welcome
by oliver p. Newman. chairman of the
board of Commissioners of the District
of Columbia. Gov. ROLAND H. Spauld-
ing of New Hampshire said that the
country does not hear much about
states rights these days. but. he add
ed. II do believe that the states have
some rights. and that there are some
things which the national government
ought not to claim for it's own, in
regulation and control"

ference. Gov. Emerson C. Harrington

tine addresses. Gov. Stuart of Virginia
took the opportunity, he said. ''as the
nearest neighbor to the National
Capital-unless Gov. Harrington of
Maryland disputes the point with me
Newman and he invited the governors
to Richmond on a trip by special train,
saying:
The distance between Richmond and
Washington is not SO great it was
fifty years ago 1t took four years to
make the trip when Richmond was the
capital of the Confederacy and Wash
fngton was the capital of the Union.
but such a trip can be made now in two
ard half hours
