WOODROW STEPS LIGHTLY,
He is Willing 70 Believe Something About
The Initiative and Referendum.

! The Initiative and Referendum.
Richmond, Va, Dec. 26.-
The following letter from
Gov Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey to Prof. r. II.
Dabney Of the University of
Virginia is published in The
Richmond Times Dispatch:
My Dear Heath: We did
not have a chance when | was
with yo1 to have our talk out
about the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall: it may be
worth while, therefore, in
view of the Importance of the
subject, for me to summarize
somewhat more formally
what [ said to you in scraps.
In the first place, with re-
gard to my own state Of mind.
1 surrendered to tie facts, as
every candid man must. My
whole prepossession, my
whole reasoning, was against
these things. But when I
came into contact with cam
did, honest, public spirited
men who could speak with
regard, for example, to Ores
gon) from personal observa
tion and experience, they
foored me flat with their
narration of what had actual>
ly happened. | found in the
men who had advocated these
things, who had put them in
to operation, and who had
accomplished things by them,
not critics or opponents Of
representative government,
but men who were eager to
restore it where it has been
taken, these means to recover
for the people what they had
unquestionahly lost, control
of their own affairs.
In short, they we're not try>
ing to change our institu-
tions. The initiative, refer
endam and recall were in
their eyes (as they are in
mine) merely a means to an
end, that end being the re-
storation of the control of
public opinion. { Where
opinion already controls,
where there is now actual,
genuine representative gov
ernment, as | believe there is
in Virginia and in the South
in general, they are not
necessary. Each state must
judge for itself. l do not
see how it could be made a
subject Of national policy.
The people will, in my
opinion, demand these
measures only where they
are manifestly necessary to
take legislation and the con-
troll of administrative action
away from special, hopeless
ly entrenched interests. They
are no general or universal
panaceas.
The recall of judges l am
absolutely against, and al>
ways have been. 1t is a
remedy for a sy mptom, not
for a disease, the disease be>
ing the control of the system
by influence which general
op .nion has ceased to control.
It interested me very much
to find that even in Oregon
literally no one thought of
these new methods of action
as a substitute for represen~
tative institutions, but only
as a means OF stimulation and
and control They are as
devoted to the idea Of our
representative institutions as
we are, and are bent upon
realizing these ideas in prac~
tice. That is their conscious
object.
AS for the recall, it is sell
dom used outside the NUNS
cipalities. [ do notremember
an instance of it's use on a
State officer. 1t is merely
ssa onn behind the door"
