OUR GOVERNOR TO-DAY.
OHIO WANTS TO FIND REAL EXECUTIVE
This is the one hundred and forty-fourth day that Gov. Roosevelt has been absent from Albany.
(Special to The Evening World.)
ALBANY, Oct. 22. - "Who is the acting Governor of the State to-day?" inquired G. I. Schenck, a special agent of the State of Ohio, who called at the Executive Chamber to-day with requisition papers from the Governor of Ohio, for the extradition of a man who is supposed to be in Syracuse and who is wanted in Lebanon, O., for forgery.
"We hear out in Ohio that you have a great variety of executives, a new one every day," he continued, "and the Governor of our State told me to be sure and see the right one."
"Who is the acting governor to-day?" inquired Messenger Lambert.
"Who?" echoed Messenger O'Connor and Stenographer Hill.
"I think," replied Messenger Loftus at last, "he is sitting in Col. Treadwell's chair."
Yes: Col. George Curtis Treadwell was again acting Governor of the State, but not for the special agent of Ohio. Judge Joyce was chief executive for him and the latter took the requisition papers, promising to send on the decision of the Governor, whoever it may be, by mail to Syracuse.
There is little likelihood that Col. Treadwell will be interrupted in his administration of the affairs of State for some days, although there is a question as to the comprehension of his powers with Gov. Roosevelt in the State.
The question is, does Col. Treadwell possess the executive function absolutely because he is in charge of the Executive Department notwithstanding the presence of the catch-me-if-you-can Governor of the State, or is the capital of the State movable with the elected Governor scheduled to stay from five to fifteen minutes in a hundred places during the next few days?
"Who is Governor to-day, Governor?"
The Evening World reporter asked of Gov. Roosevelt to-day as he was starting on his stumping tour.
Gov. Roosevelt grinned savagely, turned on his heel and ran away with Amos Knapp, Col. Youngs and William L. Wer, Jr., his stenographer, at his heels. They accompany him on the trip and Youngs had settled the gubernatorial question for the day before the Governor appeared.
"Treadwell will look after things at Albany to-day, I surmise," he said.
