p.D,csL sur REPRESENTATIVES,.

Connecticut is commonly considered
the most conservative State In the
nation. The speeches of Governor VIII
son at Hartford and New Hacen last
week were, therefore, notable and Sig
nificant for he did not avail himself
of the politicians trick OF adapting
his announcements TO the local at
mosphere and proclaiming himstif
conservative OF. conservatives. with
the remarkable frankness that rings
In every deliverance that ever ieil
from his lips. he preached to the peo-
pie of the Nutmeg State the most radi-
cal ideas for which he stands.
In New Haven. he affirmed his SYM
pathy with many of the policies OF
IaFoIlette; in Hartford he boldly
champ;oned the direct primary, the
cirec. election OF United States sena-
tor and the initiative and referendum
Yet he took no new ground in the
Connecticut speeches. Governor Will
son vigorously opposed the recall Oh
judges, but defended the recall or
executive or administrative Officers,
and the initiative and referendum Just
as he did a year ago, on the ground
tia, these methods are not intended
and could never be intended to be
substitutes for representative govern
ment, but are rather measures de-
signed TO supplement representative
government in States where represen-
tat:ye government temporarily ceases
to represent the people. The Democra-
tic candidate has never advocated the
application to the Federal government
Of the initiative, referendum and re-
call. but would restrict these specifics
in governmental disease to the States
alone He regards them as emergency
devices for checking unrepresentative
or undemocratic government. They
cannot displace representative inst-
tutions in the States. as experience
has fully DEMONSTRATED.
Governor wilson's views are moder-
ate in comparison with those Of Roose-
welt and IaFollette. Unlike Roosevelt,
the Democratic candidate does not ad-
vocate the recall OF judicial decisions
By popular vote Unlike LaFollette,
he does not insist that the recall shall
be applied TO the Federal judiciary.
He has given evidence Of his capacity
to advance and to feel sympathetically
the Democratic impulses of the people
but as to tn. fundamentals of con-
stitutionai government he remains
sound and wise. He believes that re-
preventative government is the best
form Of government and, in the long
run. the swiftest and most efficient. al
though he believes at the same time
that the people have a right to es-
tahlish sufficient and adequate SAFE
guards OF their control Of govern

For three hours the battle ragged
and at its close 29O rattlers were
counted strewn on the ground, and
not man had been bitten. The rep
tiles were slightly dormant owing to
the GOODNESS, but when aroused would
sally forth from the cave. Clubs,
shotguns and rifles were used in the
slaughter. When no more snakes
emerged from the cave a. repeating
shotgun was discharged into it and
about fifty more were dragged forth.
Some Of the specimens killed meas.

others were only few inches in

be stuffed and placed on exhibition.
For years the farmers in that neigh

great number of rattlesnakes. The

Mr.. Smith is on the Peoples ranch.
