THE INITIATIVE AND REF
ERENDUM.

The initiative and referendum
as the ordinary means of legisla
ton involve fundamental
change In our system of govern
ment, one that should not be
lightly adopted. In Il great coun-
try like ours the adoption of all
laws b. this system would be
cumbersome and impracticable.
In smaller communities, where
there Is not such n diversity and
comnleXity of interests, social
and industrial conditions, it has
worked hcnehcialIy But we
have vast diversified interests,
such MS our financial institutions.
industrial corporations and great
railway lines. difficult problems
of governing our cities, the equal
or greater problems growing out
of our foreign commerce and ag-
ricuIuWHl communities, the deli
cate relations between state and
l'htld III gov cTllllentS, ana TO ap-
ply the initiative and referen-
dunn in the framing of such laws
would tend to more completely
and instability In government.
Laws which require careful con
sideration. the examination by
committees. special knowledge
of lawyers and students of econ
omy, cannot be drawn and pass
ed in this way, This duty must
be delegated to representative
responsive to the direct will of
the people who may devote the
time necessary for such work

Bryan Invited to Conference.
Washington, Nov. 20.--Democrats
In Washington We're locally interest
cd In the news from Bermuda that
William J. Bryan has been invited by
President-Elect Wilson to confer with
him there. This indicates in their
opinion that Mr.. Bryan is to be n
factor In setting up the machinery
for the new Democratic administra.
ton
These politicians recalled that four
years ago, President Elect Taft an
nounced that Phlander G.. Knox
would be secretary Of state in the
new administration before the full
cabinet list was announced. and then
invited Mr.. Knox to advise with him
in building his cabinet Democrats
were wondering whether Mr. Bryan is
to play the same role in the Wilson
administration that Secretary Knox
has played In the Taft administration
All the information that has come to
Washington recently has given Demo
cratic statesmen the impression that
William J. Bryan will have the priv
loge Of accepting or declining the
portfolio of state. The chief question
discussed here Is as to whether NJ
Bryan will accept or decline.
O'Gorman Is Mentioned,
One prominent southern senator
claims to have positive Information
that Mr.. Bryan will decline and that
Senator James A, O'Gorman of New
York will he offered the portfolio and
will accept It, but there are other
Democrats who stand in closer rela-
lions to Mr. Bryan who believe he
will accept. Tho fact that he has ac-
copied an invitation to join the presi.
dentcloct in Bermuda, has further
convinced Observers at the national
capital that he Is to have powerful
voice in the new administration.

VERMONT POLITICS
Judge Thompson Of Barton VIII
Support State Ticket


Judge Frank ID. Thompson, OF
Barton, one of Vermont's two Roose-
welt delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton, and the recent progressive con-
testant for Frank Plumley's seat in
Congress, will support the republi-
can state ticket. When interviewed
today. Judge Thompson said:
Members of the progressive wing
of the republican party in Vermont
are solely interested in obtaining
progressive results. | believe that
progressive results in Vermont can
best be obtained by supporting the
progressive men and platform of
the republican state ticket. State
issues are distinct from national is
sues. The national contest centers
about the unfairness or fairness in
seating delegates at Chicago. That
question is in no way connected with
our State issues. Here in Vermont
the Taft forces acted with entire
fairness. there is absolutely no rea-
son why the progressive sentiment
in Vermont should fail to support
the state ticket.
Furthermore, the republican pre-
convention campaign was clean and
The platform stands
for the very principles which those
who bOlted are seeking to realize"

prevented them from cashing in on
fighters they believed won recent bat
ties here, fight fans today appealed to
local member of the state legisla-

New York boxing law at the next
session. With no decision by the ref.
cree, the disgruntled ones figure they
will have a better chance than by ac-
eepting the verdict of three news
papers. as is the custom in New
York. They contend that the pool
rooms figure too largely in local con
tests, and it is to obliterate them and
prevent agreements that they would
invoke the New York law with state
commission to exercise supreme con-
troll over all contests.

speculative bulls. Conservative iele-
