 The Majority
WOULD RESULT FROM BULL
 MOOSE POLICY
PROF. TAFTS LECTURE
Tells Yale Students That Such flair
 Trigger Methodsv of Government
 Are Retroeressive, Not Progressive.

New Haven, Conn, May 12-In his fourth lecture on Some Questions of Modern Government" at Yale today, Professor William Howard Taft characterized the form of government advocated by the progressives as hair trigger and Heading to anarchy and despotism of the majority Professor Taft's statements were made largely in connection with his discussion of the recall of legislative and administrative officers. He prom ised to discuss the recall of judicial de- cisions which embodies the recall of Judges at a later date.
 Recall an Obstacle to Efficiency.
 "The objection to the recall is not that it takes away the office from the official he said, 'but that it is an ob- stacIe to the efficiency of government. Men do not administer government fearlessly, under government of which the recall is a part. but administer it so that their enemies may have no opportunity to make malicious at tacks upon them. Government is for the purpose of accomplishing some thing. Had men like Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Madison served under the recall. they would probably all have been recalled Time has since said of them Well done, thou good and faithful servant
 "Hair-Trigeer Methods"
 Such hair trigger methods of gov ernment are said to be progressive. They are not; instead this is retro gression, it is going backward; it is adopting a feature of government re- jected years ago.
 Leaders of this movement dwell upon the statement that the people have beer seized with an almost re- lfgious zeal for cIeanness of govern ment. Aspiration for better things ought to be ridiculed by no one, but has sin left us? Are we not all subject to the same weaknesses that have been recognized for six thousand years?
 Sole Thought is SociaIistic.
 ''Is there not in every line of the campaign speeches, platforms and utterances of the men of the new school, the assumption that they have discharged all of their duty and that their sole feeling in the matter is one of brotherly love?
 '"The sole thought in it all is social istic-the idea to make the rich poorer and the poor richer, a, Ieveling of prop erty holdings. Ultimately this fact will be known. People have taken more interest in affairs of government because of the new movement but even In the western states where the new forms are in vogue, the minority is in control of affairs.
 Would Result in Despotisn.
 This will ultimately result in des- potism of the majority and lead to anarchy and revolution

coalition is to be brought about not py any mechanical means, but by a frank recognition by the rank and file of both parties that by remaining divided they are defeating all that they both favor. All we could accomplish or try to accomplish here was to start the movement for bringing about the changes in the conducting of the af- fairs of the party which seem necas- sary. These changes are to correct the evils which have been just cause of complaint in the past and are neces- sarv in order that the will of the ma jority may control in future party councils.
 Proposed Changes.
 ".The changes we shall seek are for a new basis of representation, a reeog- milton of the result of direct primaries and a different method of passing upon credentials"
