proved by me under the belief that

passage of some bills containing an
emergency clause or an appropriation,
the constitutional injunction had not

measures, on their final passage, the
votes of a majority of all elected to
each house OF the General Assembly.

in some instances, l at once consulted
the Journals of each house relating to
every bill thereafter submitted to me
and in each case where the required
vote had not been cast for it, l return
ed it with my objections.
