acknowledgement on Broadway.
Albany, N. Y, Aug. 31.-From the
floor Of the constitutional convention
former United States Senator Elihu
Root, president, condemned the sys-
tenn of "bossism" and invisible gov
eminent" which, he said, to his knowl-
edge has dominated New York for
forty years, and pleaded that the peo-
pie be armed with the short ballot,
that they may establish their own
rule. It is all wrong, he declared,
that any other rule should exist.
"This domination" Mr.. Root de-
clared, in part, "has caused a deep
and sullen and long continued resent
ment among the people at being gov
erned by men not of their choosing.
They demand change. The short
ballot plan is a solution, or at least
it may be the first step that will work
out solution" After discussing the
proposal specifically, Mr.. Root said:

"Then Mr. Plat ruled the state for
nigh upon twenty years. And the cap

"And there is today throughout this
state a deep and sullen resentment at

democracy can be changed as truly
as the atmosphere which made the

gress of the United States was blown
away by the force of public opinion.
1--WE can take this one step toward
not robbing the people of their part

Constitution Brushed Aside.

1--WE talk about the government of
the constitution. What is the govern
ment of this state? What has it been
during the forty years of my acquaint-
ance with it? The government of the
constitution. Oh, no; not half the
time, or half way. When / asked what
did the people find wrong in our state
government my mind goes back to
those periodic fits of public rage in
which the people arose and tore down
the political leaders. first OF one par
ty and then of the other party.
81 am talking about the system.
From the days of Fenton and Conk-
ling and Arthur and Cornell and Plat.
from the days of David B. Hill down
to the present, the government OF the
state has presented two different
lines of activity, one of the constitu-
tional cd statutory officers of the
state ana the other of the party lead
ers--they call them party bosses.
"They are called the systematic
invisible government For, don't
remember how many years, Mr.. Conk-
ling was the supreme ruler in this
state; the governor did not count,
legislatures did not count. And in a
great outburst of public rage he was
pulled down.

and he seems to desire the support

Having these facts clearly in mind
The Herald still believes the recogni-
ton of the Caranza faction, proyis-
ionally, is the wisest course. After
recognition, Carranza himself would
last only a very short time; he would
disappear as a serious political factor
before long. and others would gain
control of the civil and military ma
chinery. The way would be likeI to
open, then, for the gradual return to
Mexico of the exiled and debarred
element; and the strongest and best
qualified of them, by sheer force of
brain power and intellectual energy
and alertness, would gradually receive
recognition and gain political power,
both in the central government and
in the states. The drastic measures
of confiscation and criminal prosecu-
ton heretofore used aginst them
would have to be modified or aban-
doned If the new government were
to retain any standing at all among
the nations. z
