Governor Toole has been guilty of un-
warranted usurpations. AS the result of
this, two houses are now in session in
Helena, and soon, perhaps, two senates
will be. 1t will be a poor satisfaction to
Governor Toole to see the laws passed by
his trump" concern disregarded by the
State Supreme Court, and the so-called
United States senators elected by it sent
away from the senate with contempt. Yet
this is the only satisfaction he will ever
get. His partisan conduct has already
cost him public respect in Montana to q
great degree, and if he persists in it, he
will be sure to ges himself and the peo-
pie into serious trouble. Under the Mon
tana law, the first judge of claim to a
seat in the legislature is the state board
of canvassers. The second and ultimate
judge is the legislature itself, and the
governor has neither a duty to perform
nor responsibility to bear in connection
with the matter.
