Jefferson believed la a government by
the majority; a government of the peo
ple, by the people and for the people.
He had absolute confidence la .the com
mon people. He thoroughly bejleved
In the maintenance of tha light a of tha
state as weH as In the maintenance of
the Integrity of the national govern
ment acting within their proper sphere.
Upon the submission of the first draft
of tha eonstltutloa to him ha addreaaed
Mr. Madison a letter calling attention
to tha omission therefrom of any pro-
the pros, freedom of religion, trial by
Airy, habeas corpus, th maintenance of
a well-organised mllltla in place of a
standing army, and tha reservation to
th state of : powers not expressly
granted. .
atasalltoa Distrasted lopl.
Hamilton, on tha 'other hand, dis
trusted th people, and hi Idea of gov
ernment would have shorn them practi
cally of all power; would have elimi
nated th states and placed almost all
power in th hand of th general gov
ernment. He believed In removing tha
president as far from tha people as pos
sible. He believed In th election of a
senate for life or during good behavior,
and In order to check th property-hoM-Ing
claaa and those placed; la power
through their suffrages he would have
had a house of repreaentatlvea chosen
by th elector Indiscriminately, whoa
tenure of office should be three year.
He believed in minimising th power of
th states by having th governor ap
pointed by national authority, ana giv-

Bearing la mind that the Jeffersonlan
theory prevailed at tha dawa of our

though they hav been . alow la the
realisation of thla fact they are begin
ning rapidly to retrace their steps, re

Thla I to' be don through th in
strumentality of a guarded form of rep

by the adoption of tha initiative and

tion of th several state and later of
th United States, and by a syatem of
direct nomination of candldatea for all
efflcee and particularly of candidate
for the aenate of the United Statea by
a direct vote of th people. Already
Oregon ha taken th lead In thla, and
at least -II other states of th Union
are following la It footsteps . . ;
Oregoa Takes th lVead,
Under this system, th legislature of
Oregon, which ha) Just adjourned,
without respect to party, voted for and
elected to the senate the candidate who
received the majority of ail tha vote
eaat for that office at tha laat general
election. I believe that the man In the
legislature who would have dared vio
late this Implied obligation would bave
bee burned In effigy and would have
returned to hi horn spurned and de
spised by an- - outraged constituency.
Not only should candidate for the leg
islature be pledged to do thl prior to
their election, but public sentiment
should drive them to It performance
after election, and If thl healthy pub-
lie sentiment 1 created ty the people
and by the press It Is safe to say that
I t in v the mr wolves rf the
