reported by Professor Steinman of the

progress on the race track plans.
President Green volunteered to use his
automobile in dragging the roads on
either side of Moscow with King
road drag, and suggested that other
"motor-bugs" do the same.

Butler Outlines Republican Issues for Present Campaign
Defends Constitutional Government Recall and
Socialistic Tendencies-Consttution Alone Between
Man and Tyranny He Says-Lawess in Superative De-
gree is Substitution of Popular Whim for Organized
Governmental Restraint

ROCHESTER,, April 9.-When Mich
olas Murray Butler, president of Column
bia University, addressed the New
York State Republican convention as
temporary. chairman this morning, he
announced what is believed to be the
keynote of the Taft campaign in 1912
A constitutional republic was his
theme, and he declared that the su-
preme issue of 1912 was the continu-
ance of the present form of govern
ment in which the constitution stands
between men and tyranny
1T is not in heat or in temper or
in passion that the next president will
be chosen he said in closing: He will
be the deliberate choice of the Ameri-
can people after they have had time to
think, after they have had time to
weigh the attacks upon the foundation
of their government, and after they
have had time to contemplate the al
most immeasurable distance which Sc
parates that progress which is lasting
from that progress which is false and
destructive"
Socialists, and semi-socialists, were
the epithets applied to the progressives
by the chairman.
What these revolutionary elements
of the population most dislike is the
rule of law" he continued. They call
it the rule of the established order but
they mean the rule of law. Their con-
ception of government is a sort of
glorified lynching, before which the
achievements at Springfield, ILL.,, or at
Coatesyille, Penn, would fade into in
The phrase due process
of law drives them to frenzy, and
any judicial officer who, in obedience
to his oath, ventures to declare the
law to be something which is out of |
agreement with their present-day pre-
possessions, prejudices, emotions or
desires, becomes tyrant who should |
be dashed from his place on the Bench

.ality of the recall of judges. The pro-
:ess of impeachment is at hand for the
-emoval of the corrupt or unjust
udge, if such there be; the recall, be
t remembered, is aimed at the cour-
lgeous and high-minded judge who de-
ends the peoples will from the at
acks of the peoples feeling and the
he peoples passion. 1t has been well

dependent and upright judiciary they
4 want the judge to decide their way
and if he does not, they want to behead
him.
1T must be remembered that there
is one thing superior to the peoples
will and beyond the peoples reach, and
that is the everlasting distinction be-
tween right and wrong, between justice
and injustice. A majority may make
! theft legal, but they cannot make it
right. The demand for the overthrow
of courts and their finding by an ap-
peal to general opinion is an appeal
from law to lawlessness, from order to
anarchy. 1t will provide new op
portunity for calculated cunning to
play upon credulous ignorance.
The fact of the matter is that the
long temporizing of the American peo-
pie with lawlessness is beginning to
bear bitter political fruit. We cry cut
with one voice at some striking md
conspicuous evidence of disregard for
law, but we sit mutely by while a
hundred law-breaking acts less con-
spicuous in character are committed
and while the habit of lawlessness and
of contempt of law is being formed
We even applaud when some high and
popular official snaps his fingers at
the law and it's restraints upon him
This widespread lawlessness and
fundamental law itself This lawless-
ness began with disregard of criminal
statutes. 1t soon grew to include dis
regard of statutes of another kind,
which did not happen to commend
themselves to the individual law
breaker It is now widespread enough |
tai law which is the foundation OF all |
statutes and which alone stands be-
tween the individual citizen and tyran-
ny, whether it be the tyranny of a sim
gle despot or the tyranny of many
headed majority. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted by the political direct-action
men that when their dynamiting of
the government is over, the happy day
will dawn when law and the applica-
ton of law will be decided upon, not
by public officers acting under the
5anctity of a judicial oath, but by a
mob 1t is idle to suppose

ate only to action by the states and

Sidestep Instruction.

ROCHESTER,, April 9.-The rapub
lican machine workers in the opening
of the state convention here today side
stepped the question of instructing the
delegates at large for Taft. The ses-
sion was devoted to organization and
drafting a platform. Nicholas Murray
Butler. chairman, addressed the as
sembly after which it adjourned until
tomorrow at II O'Clock.
Though nearly all the delegates
present are apparently in favor of
denouncing Roosevelt's policies, the
convention seems split on the PROPOSE
ton of instructing the delegates at
large for Taft.
The fight regarding the personnel
of the resolutions committee is being
waged by factions led by Senator Root
and William Barnes, Jr.
Root showed intimate friends let
Ter purporting to be from Taft in
which Taft expressed his belief that
1T would not be advisable to instruct
the New York delegates for him."
This angered Barnes, who accused
Taft of interfering. While the roll of
delegates was being called. messen-
ger approached Barnes and said:
Washington wants you on the long
distance phone"
Tell him to wait half an hour"
said Barnes 1t is reported the per-
son on the other end of the wire was
Mckinley, Taft's con-
gressional manager.
