About twenty years ago, Mr. Bryce, with microscopic vision, observed that the state governor was "not yet a nonentity." On the other hand the state legislature was "so much the strongest force in the several states that we may almost call it the Government and ignore all other authorities." The strangeness of sound with which these statements strike our ears at the present day is indicative of the length of the road which we have since traveled and of the change which has taken place within recent years in the relative positions of the governor and the legislature in our state governments. The unmistakable tendency which now prevails in many quarters towards an enlargement of the power of the governor directs attention anew to the administrative and political position which that officer occupies and to the manner in which his influence and prestige have been, and may be still further, increased
