1

but they have got to be good friends of yours, otherwise

2

you won't succeed. I don't know why I said all that.

Should the Governor have the power to dele-

gate his powers of executive clemency?

5

No, he gets advice instead, and it is usual

to talk, as Governor Tawes and Mayor McKeldin have said,

for the exercise of it, and if it should be spread around

10

in various places, well, you run the risk of getting in a

mess. I think the Governor should accept that responsi-

18

20

Should the Governor have a veto power?

21
