JUDICIARY
Shall the Governor Have the Power to
Remove Delinquent Sheriffs

Rev. Wilbur f. Berry of WateryiIle
one Of the secretaries of the Christian
civic League Of Maine. and Hon. G. Vey
q. Holman of Thomaston, appeared before
the committee on judiciary Friday aft
efhoon IN favor of the resolve propos-
ing a constitutional amendment which
would give the Governor the power ia
remove sheriffs. recommendation
which was contained in the inaugural
address of Gov. Milliken. Ex-Attorney
General William r. Pattangall of Au-
guSta opposed the measure.
Mr.. Holman. who was the first speak
er. said that there should be some means
to reach a sheriff who was derelict in
his duty as regards the enforcement of
the prohibitory liquor law.
/ There has been no question in the
last generation" said Mr.. Holman, "but
that there has been an abuse of the
sheriff's office by the incumbent of that
office and in many cases there has been
graft"
| Hon. William r. Pattangal of Angus

this was matter of great Importance.

the people the right to vote on an i'm
portant question.
There may be a general demand in
this State for the passage of this kind
of resolve but if there is. part of the
principle and not the whole principle is
involved" said Mr.. Pattangall. THE
principle of removing a county official
will be lost sight of and the question
will be on the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory liquor law. Up to the year 1855
the Governor had the power to remove
sheriffs and at that time he also had the
power to appoint sheriffs. in other
words, having the power to appoint sher-
ifs the Governor also had the power to
remove them
If the bills now pending before Con-
gress and this Legislature are enacted
we are going to get enforcement under
any sheriff
II believe that an idea to take the
office of sheriff out of the constitution
and make il a statutory office like that
of county attorney, for instance, should
be worthy of your consideration.
Il will ask you, gentlemen. how this
will appeal to a high class business man
in your county whom you want to run
for the office of sheriff. You go to him
and he tells you that he can't run. or
that he does not want to run, that he
does not want to go in the scramble
of a primary, that he does not think that
he can be elected in that close county
You have satisfied the candidate that he
can be nominated and elected but he
again balks and he tells you that sup
posing that he is elected sheriff he may
be removed from office by the Governor
within as hours after he takes that Of
: flee Aren't you going to get mean
class of candidates running Tor sherlf
if the constitution is amended?
In 1913 the Legislature addressed
the Governor and asked him TO remove
certain sheriffs which he did ana then
