note among the clippings in
closed with your letter the report
Of a.speech made by Mr. Small on
the evening of your jubilation in
Kankakee In this speech Mr..
Small takes his stand squarely
against the initiative and referen-
dunn. These are the two measures
that are taking the power out Of the
hands of the few political bosses and
submitting every question to the vot-
ers. Mr.. Small opposes these meas
ures. He says that the right of the
voters TO recall judge will be max
ing the legislative and judicial
branches of our government mere
playthings in the hands of thought
less mobs." That, you will recall.
IS the exact language Of John Ire
land, an archbishop IN the Roman
Catholic church, IN his speech in
Chicago. It does not sound good to
me and I will tell you why I am
a part Of that "thoughtless mob" It
may be all right for an archbishop
to call me and my fellow voters in
this state of Illinois a "thoughtless
mob" but it does not come so well
from a man who would like to be
elected by that same "thoughtless
mob" as governor of this state. Why
are We a "thoughtless nob?" Why
is il wicked that We should haE%
things submitted TO US for our vote?
What in the world is wrong with the
voters of Illinois that high officials
in the church and big republican
politicians are so free to say that to
let us vote on any question will be
submitting that question TO
thoughtless mob. Mr. Small may be
a much more thoughtful man than
the average voter. but II may still
be a question whether the voters de-
sire any longer 70 turn over all
questions of government 70 so
thoughtful a man even though he be.

In your letter you have no word
TO say of anything except the indi-
vidual and private life of your
friend which seem 10 be very nice
but in his speech he told you to
place principles above men" This
you have failed to do. I. for one,
doubt very much whether We can
afford to select a man for governor
merely because he is kind TO his
wife and goes TO bed early and is
Methodist Will you kindly tell us
now what policies he stands for and
which way he faces in the important
fight that is on just now to deter
mine whether this shall be a govern
