Where was Morris
Dispatches dated July 2 report Lieutenant Governor Morris absent from Madison while Governor McGovern attended the Gettysburg celebration. A cor respondent says Morris was not in Madison to perform governor duties because he was not invited. It was understood McGovern would go to Gettysburg. Morris had right to stay away, but as state official his presence was expected to act as governor during the governor’s official visit. The upcoming U S Senate race in which Thomas Morris and F E McGovern may oppose each other is noted, but it should not affect the issue.
