Ex-GOy. J. N. Gillette

New Orleans. February 26.-"Califor- nias votes will be cast for President Taft in the republican nominating primary on the 18th day of next May" said Former Governor ]. N. Gillette. republican, of California. in a statement tonight after reading of former President Roosevelts S announcement of his candidacy for am other nomination. california feels very kindly towards President Taft. and my opinion is the result of talks with friends in San Francisco and the northern por- tion of the state. Plans for a thorough organization of the counties and cities for Taft were under way when I left sev- eral weeks ago. Colonel Roosevelt is too radical. His advocacy of plan for the people to review decisions of the highest court of the land is the craziest propo- sition ever heard of It's anarchy"
 Mr. Gillette Is on his way to California after touring the south in the interest of the San Francisco exposition.

Mexico City Stirred

Mexico City, February 26-News from Washington that a battle was in progress at Juarez, published in an afternoon paper, thrilled the capital today. AmerI- can residents. already under great strain ol apprehehsion owing to the movement or troops and talk of possible invasion believed that the crisis had arrived and that the day would doubtless see their worst fears realized-the crossing of troops into Juarez.
 With unconcealed relief the following edition announcing the mistaken char acier of the report was received
 The story was discounted at once al in, Mexican foreign office, Minister caero de- clared there was little likelihood tnat q battle would occur in the immediate vi- clnity of Juarez.

 Whether the garrison will be disposed 10 hght appears to be an open question In the minds of officials, they being ir- regulars and men whose allegiance has not been proved. It is conceded that difficult problem will be offered in .he event they should cast their lot with the rebels, since 1t would be admittedly awlS- ward for the government forces to dis lodge them without danger of grave com. plications
 Officials Reticent
 Government officials would not discuse the probable course which they would purpose in such circumstances
 The iron hand as applied to Zapatism in the state of Guerro. appeared today to have been effective. Reports from IgtIaia were to the effect that peace had prac- tically been restored in that state since, the defeat and capture of Jesus Salgado

 moment. for the decision of the judi ciary. Consider my proposition for a moment. In the first place the legis- lature that has to pass the law has to be elected. Then the law is introduced into committee and threshed out by the committee. Then il goes before the legislature and is argued to and fro and is passed. It then goes up to the governor, arguments for and against it are put before him and 1t receives his signature. It then is tried in the courts. and 1t cannot possibly come to the final court before six or eight months. It is then argued before that court, the court makes it's decision again going over the case in full, stat ing the reasons for it's decision. By that time over year will have elapsed. My proposal is that then. if the court has decided that the legislature plus the executive has exceeded the power granted by the people to them under the constitution, that the people shall themselves have the right to say whether their representatives in the legislature and the executive office were right. or whether their represen- tatives on the court were right.
 Provision should be made that no vote could be. had save at a regular election not less than six months dis tant after the appeal to the people is made. In that case you see that the minimum time would be two years of discussion by the people, two years of discussion which would include the first election, which would include the dis cussion before the committee. which would include the discussion before the House, which would include the discussion be- fore the governor which would include the decision of the court, and which then would include the six months dis cusslon before the people finally and defi- nitely acted.

If in two years the people are not able to make up their minds about d question then 1 am sorry for the commonwealth of which they are citizens and the position l take in these matters Is that of your own Massachusetts justice on the supreme court, MT. Justice Holmes. when he says in a recent decision in the Oklahoma bank case-and l quote his words-It may be said in a general way that the police power extends to all the great public needs. It may be put forth in aid of what Is sanctioned by usage or held by the prevailing morality or by a strong and preponderant opinion to be greatly and immediately necessary to the public welfare. Justice Holmes has put the claim for the exereiseFof the police power by the state even more strongly than ever 1 have put il in advocating it's ex ercise, and that opinion of Justice Holmes was given In handing down the deci- sion of the supreme court of the United States and that opinion is now part of the supreme law of the land.

 While all the initiated knew 1t was coming. it's effect the initiated will be none the less electrfying. The can- didacy of Colonel Roosevelt will appeal to Americans of all parties. If he is nominated, as l confidently expect he will sweep the country as he did fin 1904

Taft for renomination," Governor Car roll of Iowa in q statement today an nounced his support of Taft for the presidency.
 Governor Carroll intimates that Wall street influences are responsible for the opposition to President Taft.
 New York. February 26-lSpeclal.)- There is one thing that can be said about Roosevelt coming out for the nom ination.' said Gov. Emmet O'Neal of Alabama at the Waldorf today. "1t in- creases the chance for democratic victory at the next election.
 Then, of course. 1t gives the country the opportunity to settle forever the question of the third term. It will also help to determine the answer to the question as to whether this shall be representative government or purely democratic to be governed by the unre- strained will of the numerical majority.
 'I think Roosevelt will get some of the southern republicans. There will be those who believing that Roosevelt will surely be nominated. will abandon Taft. Whoever is nominated by the republicans the result will be a dissension in repub- lioan ranks which will make for our sue cess.
 "I really believe that any candidate the democrats might put up now would look like a standpat conservative com pared with Roosevelt. he is revealed in the propaganda he has outlined"

People Have Rights

"All I advocate Is giving the people of the several states the right to put thak opinion into practical effect as part of the law of the state if the state conrt declines to follow the example Of the su preme court in that matter. declines to adhere to the doctrine thus laid down by Mir Justice Holmes. a doctrine which is now part of the law of the nation. If the supreme court of the nation in it's past history and if the several state courts had lived up to the doctrine which is laid down by MT. Justice Holmes, none of the decision of which I have com plained could have been made, and there would have been no need of advocating the measure that I advocate. But. tax ing my own state. the court Of appeals of the state of New York in the working mans compensation act, referred in their opinion to this very decision to the very language l have quoted. and refused to follow it. The supreme court held one view. the court of appeals of the state took the other view and all I ask is that the people themselves in such A case shall be given chance to declare whether they shall stand by the supreme court of the nation when 1t stands for human rights or by the chief court of their own state, when it stands against human rights. If that is a revolution make the most of 1t.
 Where Is Sanctity?
 Some people speak as If there were some peculiar sanctity in a judicial opin- ion in such a matter this. Very well; in which opinion? Which is the sacred opinion? The decision of the supreme court that I have quoted, or the decision of the state cougt that conflicts with it? They cannot both be sacred. and I hold that the decision that holds for human rights Is sacred.
 Again. to listen to the arguments of certain worthy individuals who denounce the proposed change, you would think that tile purpose Of the change was to sub5ti- ute the gusty passion of the mob for decision of the court. Just across the St. Lawrence and the great lakes from the state of New York lies the great con- monwealth of Ontario, part of Canada. a commonwealth essentially precisely the same kind of government as New York. In that commonwealth the court has no power whatever to declare a legislative act unconstitutional.
 Now I do not want to go as far as that. l think it is better that we should give the courts equal power with the leg islature, but l want to keep the people as the judge between them when they differ as to whether a given law is with in the power and the right of the people to pass. l want to keep the courts and the legislature as checks upon one an- other in constitutional matters, but in those same constitutional matters want to make the people supreme whenever they think 1t necessary to decide between their two agents. the legislature and the judiciary.
 Now. understand have no pride of opinion in this matter; l am not welded
