This newspaper article suggests that Massachusetts Governor John Lewis Bates lost the election because he had created so much opposition with the state legislature through vetoes. Although Bates thought he was doing what was right and the public would stand beside him, he was wrong. The article suggests it would have been better for him to have discussed matters with committees before vetoing such a large number of bills.
