Charles n. Lefevre, OF Smyrna, who
was granted FIVE minutes to oppose
the measure, said his reason for OBJ
posing the initiative and referendum
bill was that men like George V. Mas
sey and former Attorney General
Hensel, Of Pennsylvania. opposed II
and saw no reason for an amendment
Of this kind. II is advocated he said
by alarmists and those desiring to
keep the people agitated on matters
Of state. The people. he commended
can obtain needed legislation from ex-
listing channels. which he contended
was borne out by the number of bills
on the General Assembly calendars
He urged that It is better TO submit
legislation TO a body of select men
than to the whole body Of voters who
can be directed by political leaders
Mr.. Lefevre maintained that under a
system of direct legislation laws
would not be enacted by a majority
vote Of all the voters. as many would
not express themselves on measures
Mr.. Knowles, given permission to
reply to Mr.. Lefevre, said: 81 am
proud TO say that | do my own think
ing. If the gentleman wants to be
limited to think as other men think
TO be circumscribed in his mental
activity by others, he differs from me
Under the initiative and referendum
the ignorant will not vote on measures
on which they are not informed, and
so we would practically disfranchise
the illiterate. AS for securing a ma
iority vote, ! want to say that some
Of the Democrats sitting here, Presi-
dent Wilson and the Governor OF this
State would not now be holding their
offices If It had been necessary for
them 10 secure a majority vote

strict party vote yesterday afternoon
the Senate defeated Representative
Moneys corrupt practices" bin to
regulate campaign expenditures The
House passed 1t early in the session.
The nine Republicans lined up solidly
against the bill on the ground that IL
was Democratic party measure, and
should have been referred 10 a con-
ference committee as was done with
the Ewing simpli6ed ballot bill en-
acted this session.
Senator Gormley, who called up the
bill stated that it was not party
measure. Senator Relnhardt ask
ed II such a bill was not advo-
Gated in the Democratic platform.
II think Il was in both the leading
party platforms replied Mr.. CORN
ley 1T is the same bill with some
changes that was introduced at the
session of 1911, which was defeated,
and which was patterned after the
Pennsylvania law"
Senator Furniss asserted that this
is a goood bill for a man to vote foi

Mr. Reinhardt said he had come to

Mr.. Reinhardt asked why a confer

was no answer to this question.
The bill contained stringent provi-

Agler Goes by Draft
From Jersey City
To Detroit Tigers

News from the Seat Of War now
located in that dear Cincinnati, has
it that Joe Agler, class of the South
ern League at first-basing in the sea
son of 1913, will not linger in Jersey
City, to which club he recently was
sold for $4,000 by the Crackers.
It seems Detroits draft for Joe has
been allowed and the Jersey club
management-unless special arrange
ments have ben made-is stung.
When Joe was sold to Jersey City
some weeks ago, the idea was that
]. c. was purchasing him as a sort
of agent for Frank Chance and the
New York Highlanders, and that Ag-
Ter would start the season of 1914
with F. Leroy Chance, The Cracker
management sold Joseph TO give him
the chance to better himself-whiCh
he certainly had earned and because
there seemed to be no way Of avoid
ing the draft process, should he be
not sold. except by the unsatisfactory
and unjust method Of covering"
