rect legislation already the statute books and all
that they did was to amend them.
Now, it that Governor Frazier does not believe
direct legislation he does not have confidence in the
ability of the voters to cast an intelligent ballot and tor
that has denied the people the right to vote on n
tiatve petitions. He is calling referendum election tor
June 18th when he would heed the wishes of $4,000 vot
who have signed initiative petitions asking that an ln
tave election be held July 8th that it would give the
people chance to vote for against the initiation OF Ger
tain laws and at the time to vote for against the
referendum The reason the governor gives for not hold
ing the initiative election at the time the referendum eec
ton is hed is because the people, he says would be con
fused in the issues and consequently presume that the
governor thinks that the ordinary voter is not as ntel
gen he and for that it necessary for him to
exercise sort OF guardianship the voters and protect
them against any pit falls that may be set for the VI
course you and have mistaken idea that the voter is
competent to pass laws and legislation without being
censured by anyone don't know whether the governor
has things sized up right not but the people OF this
state not competent to vote negenty an intia-
tive legislation and referendum tthe same time and at
the election then think that ought to disquay
such voters until they could pass certain examination
and let the governor hold these examinations and when
he finds the voters competent to voe then he could
make them eligible to participate in these elections But
this might be dangerous proceeding might not al
ways have Nonpartisan governor and for that reason
perhaps might be wise to make provision that when
Nonpartisan governor finds the people not
petent to pass these elections then shall dsquafy
the voters until such time that he has opportunity to
satisfy himself that they possess sufficient intelligence to
vote. Yours truly,

one Of the rulers Of the state when people were dead or
had left the country to make oath that they were present

dreds have given limitations of him
when leading his band. Many also
know that he is composer of operas,
words and music, has written some
splendid books and that he has COM
posed more than 100 successful
marches. But only his friends know
him when he puts aside his uniform
and becomes plain American citizen,
ready for any fun or frolic. He is a
lover and student of nature, and pass
es weeks every year "out in the
wilds,' with his horses, his dogs and
his guns. "Always treat animals like
friends and not like slaves" is his
motto, and if you are DESTROYS of ar
gument just dispute his assertion that
the greatest of all recreations are the
companionship Of a good horse and a
faithful dog dependable gun, fol
lowed by chat with a pretty girl.
Mr.. Sousa has become one of the
best trap shooters in the country, and
his home at Port Washington, L. l., is
Uttered with the trophies he has won
Lieut.. Sousa and his world famous
band will be heard at the Chautauqus
