the one favorably acted On yesterday

eInOr Patterson, who is expected TO
veto ii, but under the constitution his
veto only operates as a suggestion
and not a stay. and a bare majority
may pass the bill over the execu-
tive 5 unfavOrable action.
The governor is allowed TO hold
tie bill five days, and if, at the eXpiTa-
