Political appointments show lasting terms amid partisan moves
The piece argues appointments by the governor under statute often endure beyond a governor’s term, resisting removal for political reasons. It cites railroad, public print, banks, insurance and other offices with multi year terms and discusses the use of power for partisan ends, plus a note on parole plans and general trade optimism.
Just and real cause for suspension requires due process
The argument asserts that a statute authorizing suspension by the governor must include a fair hearing to determine cause. Without due process, suspension would violate the state constitution by depriving the official of emoluments without a real hearing, making the act unconstitutional and void. If courts read in a proper trial, the hearing must be genuine and orderly.
