Emmett Wilson On
Direct Legislation.

The platform of Emmett Wilson,
candidate for congress from the third
congressional district, is full OF good
meat for democratic consumption.
One of the best planks in II is the
one dealing with what is known as di-
rect legislation, or the initiative. refer
endum. and recall OF these measures
Mr. Wilson says:
Having the utmost confidence in the
capacity OF the whole people to in
diligently govern themselves. I favor
what is known as the initiative and
referendum.
believe that legislation giving to
the people the power TO initiate laws,
or TO approve or repudiate those
passed by the legislature, is one of the
best means proposed of bringing pub
lie officials to a consciousness that
they are servants Of the people. Such
a position does not destroy represen-
tative government, but restores gov
eminent to the people
BY the initiative, we mean the
power in the people to initiate such
laws as they think proper and by the
referendum we mean the power in tho
people to have referred to them for
their approval or disapproval measures
which may have been passed by the
legislature or by congress-
The recall is a means of exercising
direct control over administrative
officers, and would, believe, cause the
officers administering the affairs of the
people to realize more fully that they
are directly responsible to the people.
These powers, that is, the initiative,
referendum and recall may not often
be exercised by the people. but they
should at least have the right to call
them into play when the necessity
arises.
This is the right sort OF doctrine and
1t will fall on very receptive ears.

NOMINATION. WOULD
MEAN SURE DEFEAT
Tampa Tribune.


Shortly after the appearance in the
state Of a personal representative of
Oscar w. Underwood, candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton, we find the state flooded with
four-page supplements, sent out with
practically every weekly paper in the
state, and some of the dailies, detail
ing the great abilities and wonderful
service to Democracy of the gentleman
from Alabama. These supplements
were offered to every newspaper in the
state and, IT is presumed, the cam
paign management of Mr.. Underwood
is prepared to furnish them in unlim-
tied numbers. Coincident with the
sudden awakening of Underwood ad-
vocates in Florida, we learn that his
campaign in the state has been placed
in the keeping of Pleasant Holt and
Frank Chase, of Jacksonville.
The Tribune admires Mr.. Underwood
as one of the strongest and best of the
Democrats in congress. He has dem
onstrated remarkable ability as the
leader of the majority in the house of
representatives. There is no question
ing his craftsmanship or his honesty.
But, as the Tribune views 1t. the Dem
ocratic party would make lamentable
mistake in nominating him for presi-
dent. That he would not carry state
outside of the always Democratic
southern states and that the result OF
the ill-advised selection would be 4
landslide for the Republican ticket,
there can be no question with any man
who knows anything at all about ma
tional politics.
The Democrats of the north may de-
| lude the Underwood boomers with fair
sounding yet evasive remarks about
/ the time having arrived for the cleo
| ton of a southern man as president,
| but they will be found singing an en-
/ tirely different tune when the cOnyen-
| ton meets; and, should Mr.. Under

Candidates Sometimes
Make Serious Mistakes.

Candidates for Office are only human
beings, after all, and are prone to make
mistakes and plumbers just the same
as the man who makes out the bill
for groceries, or teaches a Sunday
school class.
Strange to say. however, that all of
the candidates for state, congressional
and county office have neglected one
important plank which should be ad-
vocated. Park Trammell even forgot
to favor it and not one realized that
it might be made the one issue in the
campaign.
The perpetuity of the gopher is what
we refer to.
How any would-be statesman could
forget so great a subject, we cannot
imagine. 1t was serious blunder and
all of the candidates for Office blum
dered. and for so doing, cannot lay
any claims to real craftsmanship.
When the candidates partake of the
gopher gumbo at The Journals ban
quet after the famous Rube-J Journal
ball game, we expect to see every can
didate adopt some plan for keeping
with us that wonderful piece of flesh
and blood known as the Florida gopher.

THURSDAY, MARCH Fl. 1912.
A Friendly Suggestion
to Mr.. Jennings.

It is none OF The Journals business
that the Pensacola News should con-
tinue to make fool of itself 1t is Of
little material concern to anybody that
the News should write itself down, day
after day, as a publication devoid
either of intelligence or Of conscience.
But 1t is a continued matter of sur
prise and incredulity that T. A. Jen-
nings, whose money is invested in the
Pensacola News. should permit the
News to pursue policy that is as
mendacious on the one hand as 1t is
1udicrous on the other.
Under its present policy. the Pensa-
cola. News commands neither the re-
spect nor confidence of any consider
able number Of people. For months,
by dirty insinuation and little sneaking
innuendo, 1t has continued to make
covert attacks on The Journal, though
it has never had the courage or the
honesty to make direct statement or
a plain charge of any kind.
The Journal has no objection to this
and If Mr.. Jennings desires to have
the News run on that kind OF a policy,
that is his privilege.
But in all friendliness we would sug-
gest to Mr.. Jennings that the News
could accomplish more good and COM
mand more respect If it were conducted
on a higher plane of journalistic in
telligence.
1t is no. concern of The Journals
that the Pensacola News is coWmitted
to the advocacy Of special Interest
policies; that the special interest can
didates find in it ready, though pitt
fully weak, champion whenever they
appear; that. local public service cor
porations can always look to It for
support, whether in defeat of regula-
tive legislation or the passage of a
friendly ordinances: that 1t serves Its
boss in AFFECT obedience whenever the
boss gives the word. All of this the
public discerns and measures at its
own value.
Mr.. Jennings may not realize to
what an extent the News is bringing
discredit on itself and on him, and we
merely offer him this friendly sug
gestion which he may adopt or reject
as his best judgment dictates.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-03-21

or he must himself be afraid of allow
ing the people to control his actions.
as their representative, in the per-
Torrance of duties which they select
him to perform.
Mr.. Wilson has done well in making
himself plain on this question and he
will find the vast majority of the peo-
pie in accord with his position.
