By WOODROW WILSON.

The following letter from Governor
Woodrow Wilson, OF New Jersey, to
Prof. r. II. Dabney, of the University
of Virginia, is published in the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch:
NV Dear Heath: We did not have
a chance when | was with you to have
our talk out about the initiative,
referendum and recall. II may De
worth while, therefore, in view OF the
importance of the subject, to sum
marize somewhat more formally what
said to you in scraps
In the first place, with regard 10
NV own state of mind, j surrendered
TO the facts, as every CANDID man
must. Ny whole prepossession, my
whole reasoning, was against these
thlrics. But when | came into contact
with candid, honest, public-spir!ted
men who could speak with regard
for example, to Oregon) from per-
sonal observation and experience,
they foored me fiat with their nara
ton OF what had actually happened.
found IN the men who had advocat-
cd these things, who had put them
into operation and who had ac-
conplished things by them, not critics
Or opponents OF representative gov
eminent. but men who were eager to
restore II where II had been lost, and
who had taken-successfully taken
these means to recover for the people
what they had unquestionably lost
control of their own affairs.
In short, they were not trying to
change our institutions. The initia-

journalistic organs OF the special
interests are doing their utmost to
discredit Gov. Wilson as Democratic
presidential candidate.
That proves they, and the interests
behind them, both hate and fear the
Jersey governors candidacy
Their latest "bombshell' fired at
him is the charge that he has proved
himself ungrateful 10 Editor George
Harvey OF Harper's Weekly Mr.. Har'
yey explains. with vast pathos, why
he removed GOV. Wilson's name from
the masthead of his paper as its pFesi-
dentiRi candidate He says he did II
at Gov. Wilson's request. The Cover
ror, he says. told him the support OF
Harpers Weekly wasn't wanted; that
IL was hurtful, not helpful
The good old saying, "A man is
known by the company he keeps,
holds true here. Woodrow Wilson
chooses not 10 keep the company OF
the masters OF Americas monopolies,
nor OF their editorial servants. He
prefers the company of the plain peo-
pie. He has cast his lot with them.
His political future is in their hands.

II interested me very much to find
that even in Oregon literally no one
thought of these rev methods or ac-
ton as a substitute for representative
institutions, but only as a means OF
stimulation and control. They are as
devoted TO the idea of our representa-
tive institutions as we are, and are
bent npon realizing these ideas in
