depreciation on the law. According to
the quoted expression Of Mr.. AarsnailS
views the language Of the constitution
IL not clear on this point. and Gov
ernor Sulzer would 9ivo himself the
benefit oe the doubt by refusing to
vacate the office.
There mas been some talk Of his
ordering out troops to prevent his
forcible removal In case It were con-

render his office. Little credence. how
ever, is placed BY his friends in the
report that he would resort to such an
extremity.
