Governor Hill has told 4 correspondent Of
"Thc World" just what he thinks or rather
lust what he wants 70 have the people think
,hat he thinks about the work of the Icgi,-
htiye session recently ended. He diScouI>es
Of ballot reform, rapid transit, the Worlds
Fair. high license, weekly payments, country
roads. and, incidentally, of Democratic fences
and the Judgment 70 come. Nobody who fol
lows him with sympathetic attention can longer
loubt that. wha,cvcr hi, foblc may be- ON
ni>ccnce +, his vocation. For one thing, it.
now appears that he is the sole and original
author of ballot reform, wherever found. lie
invented it, and he might have been rich be-
yond the dreams of avaricc 10y th, time if he
had been selfish enough 10 apply for patent.
II was he who induced the Australians 20 Civ"
The system trial, and when he denounced il
only three years ago n a "mOnSrcl foreign
thing" it WAS his native mOdcSty that spoke
and not his convictions MIL We n'ccrlncd
from the interview in "The Wor!d' that the
law lust enacted for this State l. dear TO the
Governors heart, primarily because II contains
the cardinal features Of the Australian system,
and that this is what b. and his party have
been striving after in good and bad weather
=
we aSccrtained all this we never really apprc-
ciated how painful he must have found it TO
condemn the proposed system as San innoya-
ton, revolutionary inconvcncnt, and ALSO
lutely useless"
Coming down 10 details, the Governor de-
cares that Ncw-Yorli now has the best Election
law in the United States and one of it's sweet
est Blooms is the registration provision. i
confess he says, that this "haS been more
than / dared hope for at the beginning of the
session" How artlcSs and bcwitching the
phlaseoOgy so dcmure and coy. 81 con-
fcsS." Not al tell You, young fellow, and
don't you forget it," but 81 confess" Just
like tender, winsome maiden, and yet the
whole country knows that the Governor is a
great man, who would rather be President
than be right any day in the year.
