Lone Star Statesman Quotes From
PresIdent-EIect WIlson-Dld Not
Favor His Selection, but Wishes
His Administrator Success.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The swan eooG
of Senator Bailey was the feature y
tcng.esstthat, a. tS&eted thi'oags 70 tYs
capitol Thursday. The retiring sena-
tor. defending his own career In con-
gress, made an elaborate attack on
the initiative and referendum.
Practically none of Senator Bailey's
address had been prepared In ad-
vance. 1t dealt principally with the
principle of the initiative and referen-
dunn, and he directed his words to-
ward his resolution. declaring that
such system Of direct legislation
as the initiative and referendum
would establish is in conflict with the
representative principle on which the
republic is founded"
The wise and patriotic statesmen
who dedicated this republic to liberty
and independence" declared Senator
Bailey. rejected a direct democracy
in which the people would rule with
out the Intervention of representatives
and adopted a representative democ-
racy In which the people should rule
through their duly chosen agents"
The senator quoted from states
men who participated In the formation
of the Constitution and the organiza-
ton Of the government to show that
they had never intended that the re-
public form Of government should
give way to direct legislation by the
people. such as the initiative and ref
erendum would provide.
This is a republican democracy"
he said, and cited again opinion Of
men identified with history to prove
that representative democracy"
was better than true democracy.
Senator Bailey said he would not
quote from lawyers, because they do
not seem to be in high favor now
with those who wish to work this
change In the government"
Il never had client who was my
master in any manner" he declared
at one point.
Mr.. Bailey quoted from works Of
President-elect Wilson.
II am a Democrat" said Senator
Bailey, "and though l did not favor
his selection. no man living hopes
more for the success of his admins
tration than l do"

Cannot Be Returned.

deas we're granted Friday by the Uni

Of thirty.two of the thirty-three labor

Of Frank M. Ryan was placed at $40.
900. The bonds we're made on basis
of $4,000 for each year Of the term
to which the men had been sen
fenced.
In fixing the bonds Judge Baker re-
viewed the evidence and the argu
ments in the case and stated that the
bonds should be large enough to make
the persons furnishing them very
much concerned in getting the men
into court when they are wanted.
The charge is not one in which ex.
tradition may be resorted to. he said
II the men should once get out Of the
country, he declared 1t doubtful II
they could be compelled to return or
II the government could punish them
Only thirty.two of the thirty-three
committed men we're specifically rep
resented. although all were mentioned
in the petition. Herbert 8. Hockin OF
Indianapolis had expressed a willing
ness to serve his sentence and not
ask an appeal.
Attorneys for the 33 convicted labor
leaders at once took steps to provide
suitable bonds for their clients.
The bonds for the 80 men, as fixed
by the court. aggregate $1.070,000.
Immediately following the decision
of the court of appeals the point was
raised by whom the bonds should be
approved. 1t was agreed by the court
and the attorneys that Federal Judge
Anderson In the district court at In
dianapolis should be the Judge to ap
prove the. bonds.
