DELEGATE GLEASON; Mr. Chairman and Fellow
I Delegates:
It appears to this representative at this
i Convention that for the past four weeks while this
committee has marched up a hill to reform, sometimes labor-
i iously so -~ yesterday and today we decided to very rapidly
march down that hill, for we decided yesterday that insteac
of having three branches of the government, we are going
to continue to have four branches of government; and by
-
the vote that has been concluded just now we have expanded
that four to five.
It is my humble judgment -- and I don't say
this in disrespect to any member of the Committee here
present -- that there is a great deal of politics enmeshed
in this entire question.
t
When we look back over the governors that
i'
have been elected in this State since the beginning of the
cenfary, the maiual tells us that there are I governors
; who have held that office, and of those 12 governors, 8
have come out of the offices of the attorney general and
comptrollerships before reaching the office of governor. |
