commendatory paragraph is taken.
It refers to the state administration
and all the departments of the state
government: "A state administration
consists of all the various state depart

be judged only by the acts of the gov
ernor himself but by the work of all
these departments. By this standard
the administration of Governor Van

prevail of the people. but never in the
history of the state have the depart
ments made a more brilliant record. !"
