To refer to the reasons he urges as

The idea was to take away from the
governor the temptation to build up
machine by the exercise OF the ap-
pointing power and his influence gen
erally, thereby re-electing himself as
often as desired. It Is we'll to limit
the term of executive officers That
does not apply to legislative officers.
They have no executive powers OF ap-
pointment, and the like, and they can
make no trades and deals or combln-

1.-THE people who made the con-
stitution did not foresee, or could
not provide against a governor US
ing his office, however to further
his political ambitions in the direc

other office. That is matter the peo
pie must either condemn or approve
l can see no more reason for con

dulged in to re-elect himself govern
or than when it is employed to cleo
himself to some other Office. The sci

political machine, is just as obnoxi

Again, when a governor plead
