We have not receded one iota fronvoui position that the judicial branch of government has no vested power to prevent the legislature i carrying out the duties prescribed by the law and constitution.

We members would be false to our oath of office If we did not resist to the utmost any attempt to thwart us in our duty to our constituents and state. "It has been rumored, intimated and charged, for obvious reasons that we would be satisfied If the governor would discharge hla'confJ dential secreUry (Mrs. O. O.
