Governor Has Full Power

Governor Has Full Power
The governor is the chief executive
Of the state. with full power to pardon
anyone convicted Of violating it, laws.
He Is commander In chief of tho mll.-
tary force OF the state. and may invoke
that power without accountability. This
is sufficient to show that Il would he

for such an offcnsu.
The authors ~ tho constitution
knowing that such requirement would
be- absurd and impossible of execution,
and that the senate Itself should deter.

The weight Of authority and all sound
reasoning are against the conclusions
of that court The entire indofensibility
of that courts conclusion Is obvious
when applied to the case of the Gov
