An hour and half was spent In debate
Only three Republicans vo.ed against the

/ Senator Wiltshire OF King made strong

After Assistant Secretary DeWolf had
read the message and the vetoed bill, the
question. Shall the bin pass. notw.th
standing the veto of the governor was
put by the president. when Miller of
Thurston arose. II he believed what the
governor said WAS true he would have TO
vote against the people. He believed the
representatives of the people snouid have
as much 30 say az any one man elected
10 any elective office. He called attention
to the fact that the constitution gave the
legislature authority 10 ali offices, and
said that when the governor failed 10 APP
point capitol commissioners he violated
the laws OF the senate which he soiemnly
swore 10 obey He was therefore certain
the legislature had not invaded the rights
of the governor. but he believed that In
declaring the law unconstitutional the
governor had invaded the rights OF the
supreme court. He spoke OF previous
vetoes "by a hostile executive" and con-
tended that the governor was not acting
so mitch in the interest OF the people of
the state he was acting against a
people he was hostile 10. He referred 10
the capitol fund. aud called attention TO
the fact that all funds are mock funds.
there was not in any fund a dollar
with which 20 pay the warrants issued to-
day. The capitol fund was perhaps
mock fund. hut IL had a great timber and
land reserve behind II. ut might be
wise he said. IF the capitol fund is
mock fund. To Ill 1t with milk tickets"
