The Montana Governor is the chief executive officer of the State of Montana. During the
territorial period [1864-1889], the Governor was appointed by the President of the United
States. Since statehood the Governor has been elected in statewide election.
The duties of the office were established in the 1889 Constitution. These duties included
overall administration of state government; serving on various boards, including the Board
of Prison Commissioners, the Board of Examiners, and others; convening special sessions as
needed; signing or vetoing legislation passed by the Legislative Assembly; receiving regular
reports from departments of the executive branch; appointing non-elective officials of state
government and appointing replacements when elected officials die in office; granting
pardons and commutations of sentence; and being the official representative of the state in
its relations with the United States and other state governments.
Records consist of general correspondence of Joseph K. Toole's two administrations
(1889-1892 and 1901-1905), J.E. Rickards administration (1893-1896), and Robert Burns
Smith's administration (1897-1900). The correspondence with individual constituents,
organizations, and government agencies, is arranged alphabetically. There are also a few
speeches by Toole.
Arranged by subgroup and series. Some material housed in manuscript volumes.
