Mr.. Tafts position is perfectly
clear. 1t is that we have in this coun-
try a special class of persons wiser
than the people, who are above the
people. who cannot be reached By the
people, but who govern them and ought
TO govern them; and who protect var
.ous classes of the people from the
whole people"
Colonel Roosevelt quoted the remarks
of William Draper Lewis, dean Of the
Law School OF the University of Fen
nsylvania. who approved Mr.. Roose-
velts plan Of a popular recall OF Judi
cial decisions regarding constitutional
amendments. but declared IL unfortu-
nate that the plan should have been
proposed by a man of such marked
characteristics" as Col Roosevelt.

ITO further the rule of the majority"
continued the speaker. the Progress
sives of the Republican party in GER
tain states have formulated certain
proposals FOR change in the form of the
state government--certain checks and
balances which may check and balance
the special interests and their allies.
First. there are the Initiative and
referendum, which are so framed that
# the legislatures obeyat the command
of some special interest. and Obstinate
ly refuse the VIII of the majority, the
majority may step in and leglslate di-
rectly"
"Then there is the direct primary
the real one, not the New York one
and that. too. the Progressives offer as
a check on the speciaf interests Most
clearly of all docs il seem TO me tina,
