DEMOCRACY Up 10 DATE.


For a gentleman who has spent so

ticians an astonishing capacity to
recognize an issue when he sees one

that he should have Il comprehensive
grasp OF the spirit and substance OF

that the practical politicians should
imagine that because one has been

his time teaching a lot OF young fell
lows readin, riting. and rithmetic
Governor Wilson's Los Angeles
speech did not contain any striking
new note, but in 1t he made perhaps
hif clearer that he has sagaciously
constituted himself champion OF the
alluring proposition that democracy
must be made more effective

dunn and the recall are the best de-
vices TO insure control by the peo.

but unQuestionably there j sa need

called the mechanics OF democracy.

pears to be making himself the most
