EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
Under the constitution of 1818 the elective officers were the Gover- nor and Lieutenant-Governor, who held office for four years. The election returns were transmitted by the returning officers, directed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, whose duty it was to open and publish them in the presence of a majority of each house of the General Assembly. In case of a tie, the choice was made by a joint ballot of both houses. The first election for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor was held on the third Thursday of September, 1. D. 1818. Thereafter the elections were held every four years on the first Monday of August.
The Secretary of State was appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The Auditor of Public Accounts, Treasurer and Attorney-General were elected by the General Assembly, and held office for two years respectively.
By the constitution of 1848, all these officers were made elective by the people, except the Attorney-General, which office was abolished. The term of office for each was four years, except the Treasurer, which was two years.
The office of Attorney-General was again ereated by law, in 1867, and the term fixed at two years. The office was first filled by appointment by the Governor, and at the expiration of the term by election by the people.
The constitution of 1870 provides that the Executive Department shall consist of a Gorernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor of Public Accounts, Treasurer, Superintendeut of Public In- struction, and Attorney-General, who shall each, with the exception of the Treasurer, hold office for four years from the second Monday in January next after election. The Treasurer holds office for two years, and is ineligible for re-election until the expiration of two years next after the end of his term. The first election under the constitution of 1870 was held November 5, A. D. 1872.
By a law passed in 1849 the Secretary of State was made ex-officio State Superintendent of Public Schools. In 1854 the law establish- ing a system of free schools ereated the office of State Superintendent, and provided for the appointment by the Governor, upon the taking effeet of the law, of some person to hold office until the election in 1855, when a State Superintendent should be elected, and every two years thereafter.
The offices of Adjutant-General, State Geologist, and Entomolo- gist, are created by law, and filled by appointment of the Governor.
