Time evils which this bill pretends to remedynro startllnit widespread mind tluncorous be-

yond all others which threaten our Governmont antI It Is not strange that any bill labolloil

electoral roform raises a blind cry for Ha en-aotmont Tho clamor that this great reform i

inoasuro should bo approved at once nndwithout stopping for im examination of Its de-

tails¬

was nt no tlmo louder than when limo billwas first presented to mo by tbo i ro out Legis-lature

¬

BO framed as to abolish nil electionswhich It proposed to reform That such n stu-pendous

¬

blunder Could pass tho LegislatureWithout detection should bo a sharp reminderthat painstaking scrutiny and careful delibe-ration

¬

are as necessary as patriotic fervorWhen the people are crying for broad theirhunger will not bo eatleilod by giving thorn astone

Political pnrtlos cannot differ as to time neces-sity

¬

ot suppressing bribery at election Cer¬

tainly such a consummation is most devoutlyto bo wished by that party which is wellKnown to haye little or no campaign fund tohavo less Vioalthy men for Its candidates andto have suffered most 68eroly from enormouspolitical corruption by its adversaries

It Is difficult to understand how so muchparty heat could have been evolved from thediscussion of a measure proposlngouds equallydesired by all honest people regardless ofparty It cnn only bo explained by tho madanxiety with which this bill was mado a party C

measure by tile majority ot time Legislatureand by the reckless haste with which It wasoriginally rushed through both Houses with ¬

out listening to suggestions criticisms oramendments presented by time minority withthe evident Intention that the bill should notba approved and that the oxocutlvo mightthereby bo placed before limo people of theState In the false light of having vetoed aroform measure

The enactment of a law which shall actuallysecure electoral reform should Involve slmnlya discussion of the best moans for accomplish ¬

fag commonly desired ends There wouldSeoul to bo no longer any occasion for partisancontroversy in this discussion If the sole ob-

ject¬

In view is the public good rather than dig-ging nits for political adversaries The pres-

ent¬

Ineed is careful deliberation keen scrutiny

and a mutual readiness and desire to clvo amidreceive the sharpest and severest criticismrequiring a temper and disposition most for-eign
