GOVERNOR DIX'S BACK UP
lRy Telegrarh 70 The Tribune ]

Albany. March S.-An open revolt of
the upstate Democrats against the dom
ination Of Charles F. Murphy, boss Of
Tammany Hall. in control Of the Demo-
cratic party in this state, is the almost
certain result OF Murphy's determined
refusal to accept Herbert p. Bissell, OF
Buffalo, whom Governor Dix has nomi-
mated for member Of the upstate Public
Service Commission. In opposing Bisse'i
the Tammany leader is acceding to the
wishes of William II. Fitzpatrick, boss
Of Erie County, taking the stand that
he cannot go against those leaders who
have stuck to him. Governor Dix, on the
other hand. is just as determined not t.
he dictated 10 by Murphy in the appoint
rnent Of public officials. He has told
Risseu that he will not send in another
name to succeed Public Service Com
missioner McCarroll in the 1st District
in the place Of that Of Edward G. Riggs,
u,bom the Senate refused to confirm. un-
az tho Senate has acted on Bisselps
name. And if the Senate refuses TO con-
firm Bissell il is understood to be his in
tention to leave the present Republican
incumbents In office. This would mean
that their successors would have to be
apnojnted by the Governor elected next
fall.
The differences between Murphy and
tho Governor have caused such a wave
of resentment against Tammany among
unetate Democrats that Tammany's
control of the state Democracy may he
broken at the spring convention in New
Work on April II. Democratic Senators
bere to-day were not backward in ex-
,roseing their disgust with the attitude

Toledo March S-Speaking tonight
70 an audience that filled to overflowing
the Toledo Coliseum, designed to hold
$500 persons, President Taft declared
his opposition 10 the recall of judicial
decisions.
The President did not mention Colonel
Roosevelt and his Columbus speech. but
he assaied some Of the doctrines advo-
Gated by his predecessor In the White
House.
Practically every person i'm the audi
ence carried an American flag. and the
flags sprang into action and the crowd
applauded and cheered Mr.. Tafts dee
laration that the recall Of decisions was
without merit. reactisnary Instead or
progressive, revolutionary and unstable.
The President spoke as follows:
In the last year or two we have heard
much Of radical methods OF changing the
Judiciary system. If We would properly
consider these proposals and stand on soild
and safe ground we must re-examine the
Fundamental principles OF staOf 81 tbe popoIdld world

states bound into one; OF more than ninety
millions OF people. and with a humane
guardianship OF ten millions more-nlne IN

From our body polite we have eXcised

FIVE CAR LINES TIED UP

Five main lines OF street railway traf-

and for nearly two hours long lines Of

inexplicable manner one OF the big feed

Crews of electricians were rushed to
various points. and finally found the
trouble spot But even when found, the
lob was a long and tedious one. All the
mower had to be shut off while the sec

away and the break spliced.
Thousands of shoppers depend OH these

Los Angeles. March S.-J. B. McNa-

tuberculosis. and ]. ]. Mcnamara, his
brother. serving a fifteen-year term, is
in poor health. according TO Malcolm

Laren said.
Both brothers are looking very poor
ly. Neither one has been accustomed u
confinement. let alone the treacherous
dust OF the jute mill Though j. b. Nc
Namara is naturally slender, he has lost
about fifteen pounds since his trip north.
He is a sick man. and owing TO the fact
that he is suffering from tuberculosis 1t
is probable that he will never recover.
j. J. Mcnamara is stronger and big
ger than his brother. but he has lost
more weight than the latter man. The
prison palor is already apparent on his

I For these reasons we believe in popular
government. Government Is a human In
stTumentality to secure the greatest good
to the greatest number and the greatest
happiness to the individual Experience
and especially the growth of popular gov
crnmcnt I'm our own history, has shown
that in the long run every class OF the
people. and by that I mean those similarly
situated. are better able to secure attention
to their welfare than any other class, how
ever altrulstic the latter class may be. Oi
course this assumes that the members oi
the class have reasonable intelligence and
capacity for knowing their own rights and
interest.
The Best Kind Of Government.
,, Hence it follows that the best govern
ment. In the sense OF the government most
certain to provide for and protect the
rights and governmental needs or every
: class, is that one In which every class mas
a voice. In recognition OF this. the ten
dency from earliest times In our history has
. been the enlargement OF the electorate 10
include I'm the ultimate source Of govern
mental power as many as possible OF those
governed. But even to-day the electorate
is not more In number than one-fourth OF
the total number of those who are citizens
of the nation and are the people for
whom the government Is maintained and
whose rights and happiness the govern
ment is intended to secure. More than this,
government by unanimous vote of the
electorate is impossible. and therefore the
We find, therefore that government by
the people Is, under our present system
government by majority of one-fourth OF
those whose rights and happiness are to be
affected by the course and conduct of the
government. This is the nearest to gov
ernment by the whole people We have ever
had Woman's suffrage will change this.
and Il Is doubtless coming as soon as the
electorate can be certain that most women
desire IL and will assume its burden and
responsibility. But even then the .electo-
rate will only be part OF the whole peo-
ple. In other words. the electorate Is a
representative governing body for the
whole people for which the government
was established. and the controlling major
ity OF the electorate is body still less
numerous.
IL is thus apparent that ours Is a govern
mont OF all the people by representative
