Governor Budd vetoed Caminettrs bilf
this afternoon. He said: "A careful
scrutiny of the terms Of bill No. 273 has
led me to believe that in the present
form 1t should not become law. While
decisions are numerous holding that the
expression when 1t appears occurs in
a law Of this kind 1t is construed as re-
quiring an allegation of facts, not opin-
ions, conclusions or hearsay, yet the
provisions contained In the bill, that he
does believe may modify these decisions
to such an extent that such belief may
be sufficient to cause the disqualified
tion of a Judge, which the introducer
from his statement was not his inten-
tion."
