Lone Star Statesman Quotes From
President-Elect Wllson-Dld Not
Favor His Selection But Wishes
His Administration Success.

Washington, Jan 4.-The swan song
OF Senator Bailey was the feature in
congress that attracted throngs to the
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 Baileyjs
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
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 direct democracy
In which the people would rule with
out the Intervention of representatives
and adopted 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 opinions OF
men identified with history to prove
that a representative democracy
was better than a 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.
Il am a Democrat" said Senator
Bailey, land though I did not favor
his selection, no man living hopes
more for the success of his admins
tration than / do"
He quoted from Governor Wilson's
works to the effect that the views
men express on the stump were often
tempered by the common counsel
they enjoy when they finally come
into control of the government.
How often have we seen men roar
nightly when they are seeking elec-
ton, to COO gently when they have at
tanned It," added Senator Bailey.
1T has come to choice between
the side led by the mighty spirits OF
another day, and the side led by the
noisy demonstrators OF today. For
my part, | am ready to enlist under
the banner of the mighty dead-of
Washington and Jefferson and Madi-
son.
"They say that representative gov
eminent has broken down in our gov
eminent" said Senator Bailey. III
that were true 1t would almost justify
a revision. But / maintain 1t Is not
