Majority Would Otherwise
Impose on the Minor
ity, He Says

Washington, d. C.-President Taft
today SEM "A veto message to on
gress killing the resolution for the
admission OF Arizona and New MeNi-
co. They cannot become states
through the action OF congress at
session unless the bill is passed over
the presidents veto. This is not eX-
pected.
President Taft based his objection
to the resolution granting these err
ritories statehood. to the provision in
the Arizon constitution making the
judiciary nf thar state subject to the
recall.
The judicial recall is vigorously
denounced by the president as per-
nicious and destructive of free gov
eminent" He said farther:
IF i should sign this resolution,
l do not see how l could escape form
responsibility for the judicial recall
as found in the Arizona constitution,
which is so destructive OF the indie
pendence of the judiciary and so
likely to subject the rights of the
individual to possible tyrrany by the
popular majority and therefore in
furious to the cause of free govern
ment. Government is for all the
people and not solely for, a majority
of them.
"All have recognized thai a major
ity of the people, unrestrained by
law, when aroused and without the
SOLDERING effect of d~elibebation, may
do injustice to the minority. Hence
arises the necessity for a constitu-
ton which the will of the majority
shall be permitted to guide the course
of the government, but only un6er
controlling checks that experience
has shown to be necessary to secure
to the minority its share of benefits
intended for the whole people,.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-William j
!. Bryan, in an interview here today, at
tacks President Taft's veto of the
statehood bill for Arizona and New
Mexico because of the judicial recall
Bryan says the veto is the height OF
: folly. for the bill provides that the
: people must vote upon the recall be-
for its adoption at the first election
Oregon, he says, has the recall
