Mr. Manning continued. "The Legislature acted wisely' In retaining the right for the Governor to use the constables should it prove necessary. "The tlrst month of my administra tion has been devoted to matters of legislative appointment# that come with that office. I am very gratified with the way the General Assembly has devoted itself to the consideration of matters of State-wide interest. At the beginning of the session there were many new members and some little time was required for the) Assembly to organize itself into a compaet body. The results, however, have been very manifest ond the general Assembly showed Interest In enacting measures for improved schools', primary elections and what is of prime importance to the business interests^ of the State, the creating of a tax commission. "The" legislature devoted considera te attention to the improvement of rural Schools" Mr. Manning said, and this feature was ? in accordance r-wtth pledges made by himself and by mem bers. of the General Assembly during the recent campaign. He expressed himself as being pleased , with the re . suits accomplished in this direction.
