HOKE VETOED BILLS FOR THE SAME_REASON Governor’s Critics Have Another Bone to Gnaw THEY ARE CRITICISING HIM FOB A SIN WHICH THEIR TIN-GOD WAS GUILTY OF DURING HIS TERM OF OFFICE. Atlanta, Go., Sept. 12.—Like the old story of the man whose ox was gored, it appears to make a decided difference, according to a ‘well known friend of Gov. Joseph M. Brown, to the name and Identity of the gov ernor who vetoes a bill on the ground that it is unconstitutional.- Gov. Brown has recently (been ex tensively criticised in certain quar ter® for vetoeing the bill requiring tbe railroads to pull mileage on their trains. The leading ground on which Gov. BVown vetoed the, bill was, as he stated, Its apparent un- constltutionality. \ His critics have charged that if the bill were uncon stitutional, or if there were grounds ■ for believing lt*Hincon®tttutlonal, he should have approvided it and let the courts pass on it. The friend in question, who has been Investigating the matter, finds that Gov. Hoke Smith vetoed at least two bills on the ground that they were unconstitutional, and he ®ays there ie no record of any similar criticism having attached to him for this action.
