Excerpt from First Biennial Message of Governor Hiram W. Johnson Before the Senate and Assembly of the State of California, in Joint Assembly, at Sacramento, Monday, January 6, 1913 This is m record, made by your predecessors and approved by yourselves, which it is now yours to emulate, and to supplement and complete. The general policy that has characterized the present State govern ment is one that has not been partisan in character, and to' which men Of all political predilections, and particularly those Of different parties in the Legislature, have contributed. The policy Of the State Govern ment in the future will be the same as for the past two years; and in upholding that policy the present administration asks the aid Of all the representatives Of the people; and if the policy shall meet with success and approval it may well be considered the policy Of all those who believe in popular rule and in constancy and fidelity in the execu tion Of a trust regardless wholly Of partisan lines.
