10 THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7. 1911 GOV. WILSON AS FOE OF BOSSISM Utterly Routed Smith In Fight Over U. S. Senatorship. SMASHED ONE MAN POWER N.w Jersey Executive's Determination Yielded Victory and Was Conspicu ous Evidsnce of His Purpose to Show No Quarter When His Conviction of Right Met Opposition. Hon. Wuutlrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey, has come very sharply into the Kjlltkul limelight In the last few months by reason of his fearless and effective advocacy of the rights of the people to govern themselves without interference from the great corporations and vested Interests. Governor Wilson is a native of Vlr glula, having been born at Staunton lee. 2S, He Is the son of a Ireshyterian minister of Scotch Irish deweut As a boy he lived in the south and at the age of nineteen en tered Trlnoeton university, from which he was (radunted In He took a course In law at the University of Virginia and was admitted to the bar. He practiced law la Atlanta for two ymi i 9 1911. by American Press Association. OVEB.NOR WOODROW WILBOS OF SW JERSEY. years and then took a postgraduate course In political economy, history and Jurisprudence at Johns nopklns tjnlverslty, Baltimore. His writings on political subjects while at Johns Hopkins attracted much attention, and he was offered the professorial chair at Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, the famous college for women, where he remained for three years. From Bryn Mawr he went to Wesleyan uni versity, at Middletown, Conn., as pro fessor of history and political econo my, and in 1890 he Joined the faculty of Princeton university as professor of political economy and Jurispru dence. The title of this chnlr was later changed to professor of Jurispru dence and politics. In 102 Trofessor Wilson was chosen president of Princeton university and occupied that position for eight years. His In cutnlencT of the office was a contin ual fight against special privileges and an effort to make the university more democratic than It had been In the past. In 1910 President Wilson was nominated as the candidate of the Pemorrnts of New Jersey for gov ernor and was elected by a plurality of nearly 00.000 after a speaking cam paign that was remarkable In rousing the ieop!e of the state from one end to the other and swinging to his sup port thousands of Itepubllcans who were dissatisfied with the present con duct and management of the Repub lican party. Governor Wilson has more than fulfilled his pledges. lie promised the jwople of New Jersey that he would Ie their representative at the Mute capltol and wonld guard the in terests of the whole people to the best of his ability. Among the Hieciflc promises wbl' h he made were that he would do all in his power to secure the enactment of the public utilities Mil for the control of railroads and other public service corporations; a re vised primary law that would give the leople absolute control of the nomina tions for all officers, including dele gates to presidential conventions, and take the selection of candidates out of the hands of the losses; a corrupt practices law that would make bribery and the use of money of corporations In elections difficult. If not Impossible; a law providing for the commission government of cities by the votes of the citizens and including .the features vt the Initiative and referendum and the recall; an employers' liability law which would protect the interests of the workers automatically without making It necessary for them to go to court to obtain their rights In case of Injury while at work and several re form laws of great local Importance In tie in o state. Although the legislature of New Jer sey ss Ieiiiooratic on Joint ballot, the semite was Republican, and at limt It seemed to every one that Gov ernor Wilson had undertaken a hope less task of endeavoring to force these reforms through an unwilling legisla ture. People declared that he would find practical politic something en tirely different from the academic the ories which were supposed to be his political stock la trade, but they reck oned without their man. They did not realize that all of Governor Wilson's life had been a training for active participation In politics and that til studies aud research into political hi tory aud political method had given him a wider knowledge of the power of the people under agresslve leader ship than any of the bosses of either party possessed. His whole political theory is based upon the right of the people to rule and their power to rule when their efforts are properly conceit trated, aud he demonstrated that his theory was correct when one after an other his proposed reforms were forced through the legislature by the power of public opinion. Even before Governor Wilson took hU seat in the executive chamber he had won a victory over the bosses In his own party, which had inspired the people with renewed confidence and terrorized the professional politicians who were Inclined to oppose his re forms. The election of a I'nlted States senator from New Jersey was the first Important work for the new legislature to undertake. James Smith, Jr., long known as the big boss of the Demo cratic party in the state, had decided that he wanted this particular plum for himself, and he announced him self as a candidate, but at the pri maries held early In 1910 James A. Martlne, a clean and popular citizen, had been a candidate for the senatorial nomination and had received the in dorsement of the people at the polls. Smith's name had not been presented at the primaries. This did not make any difference to Smith, who thought that his power as boss was sufficient to override the will of the people. Governor-Elect Wilson declared that Smith should not be senator, that he had no claim upon the office and that Martlne had the strongest claim of all, that of popular Indorsement. The fight be tween the old boss and the new leader was short, sharp and decisive. Back- d by public opinion, the new governor won, and Martlne was elected senator on the fir3t ballot. Vlth these triumphs to his credit It Is email wonder that the people of the TTnlted States are coming to look upon Woodrow Wilson ns one of the great est political leaders who have been de veloped In recent years. A progressive of the progressives. It does not worry Governor Wilson any to be called a radical. In fact, he calls himself a radical. "I am radical," said Governor Wilson recently, "and the first ele ment of my radicalism is: Let's get at the root of the whole thing and resume popular government. We mean to have the kind of government we thought we had. I am ready to draw the Initiative and referendum at any time. I believe In It. I have not the slightest fear of Its disturbing our theory of representative government. I don't worry about theories anyhow; It's facts that worry me. The fact Is we In New Jersey have not got any thing but the theory, while in states where they have tried It the Initiative and referendum has given them back representative government. It works, you know, without being called on to work at all. Where legislative repre sentatives know that if they fall real ly to represent, the people have the power to take the legislation back Into their own hands, those representatives have an effective motive to represent. The Initiative and referendum is like a gun behind the door for use in case of emergency, but a mighty good per suader nevertheless." It Is perhaps unnecessary to add to this explanation of Governor Wilson's attitude toward rublic affairs that 'fry -3 ksW 1W . I f 1911, by American Press Association. MRS. WOODROW WILSON. be Is against special privilege of ev ery kind and that he is particularly against the high protective tariff sys tem and what he terms the outrageous I'ulne-Aldrirb tariff law, and perhaps It Is unnecessary to add that these are no new convictions on Governor Wilson's part, but are the fruit of a lifetime of study and observation of political affairs, of a life sjeut in train ing for active public service for which the opjKirtunlty has Just come to him. In his home life the governor Is su premely happy. Ills tastes are qnlet, and his chanring wife and three bright and attractive daughters are the center of all of his recreations and amusements. Rather fond of the open air, he Is not a sportsman In any sense of the term, although he occasionally finds opportunity to play golf, which be does very badly, with some of his most Intimate friends. When It was announced In April that Governor Wil son was to visit the Pacific const dur ing May he was fairly deluged with telegrams from every part of the west.
