passed the council without opposition in the house jb i 6 encountered some very ill feeling and much nonar non sense on the part of certain lib eral 1 1 members the memorial was construed by them into an insult to the go ve anor 11 I 1 f the gentlemen who indulged in this sort of argument had bad not been so fired and it if some sobbe of them had not indulged in other ways they would not probably have become so unreasonably excited the memorial contains nothing persona per souA it is a simple narration narra tipp of facts which are indisputable tt is a necessary adjunct to the bill if the statement that the governor vetoed the bill is an insult to him how much more of an insult must that veto have been to the Legisla tui e and the people who elected its members there is IA nothing insulting insult irig in the language purport or object of this memorial mem kial the right iba f petition is inalienable the national nannal legislature requires any act passed by the utah assembly or the filling of elective offices to be submitted to congress this bill would have been sent seat and congress would have been to f approve it even if tt it b had received the file governors Governo vs signature what insult then is offered to the governor by asking congress to approve it now C certain liberals during the closing hours of the legislature while the wearied members were waiting on the action of the govera or reminded them when some of his bis actions were objected to that the governor is king that were true in effect there is a power above that kind of a king J and the subjects have the right to appeal ILP peal wit twit if it is an insult to such it a ruler to have the simple fact stated to power that he had vetoed a bill people who are not abject serfs will think it nothing r but proper that he should be in that manner insulted we fidak scarcely eVly bel believe leine that the governor fools feels insulted by this memorial Wel belleve he has too much goo anio sense for that and his officious clous friends friend paid him a very poor when they claimed h he e was insulted by the clear out cut statement of what he had done it was a strong reflection upon upon that act at uI valent to saying that telling the truth was an insult to the governor the fact is nothing could be bO pointed out in the memorial that to is incorrect or contrary to law or objectionable in language therefore some such subterfuge as the In insult salt nonsense had bad to be resorted to as an excuse on martof part of those liberal members who voted against the memorial if congress can only be induced to examine the bill carefully and weigh the fried froth that makes up the governors veto message there will be strong ground for hope that this needed legislation may become law by an act w which even alleged king cannot veto |
