Governor- elect Wilson of New Jersey, rormei head of Princeton university, took a scholarly slap at the New Nationalism in addressing the governors' today. , He said: 1 ; . . . To put a federal law oenina tne great corporations would do io givn them the right to dominate anjover rMn lorai! fiondltions and ; eauiir them with the majestia supremacy of the law creating and regulating them, to level a variety of communities before them. I believe in the exercise of federal, pow ers to the .utmost extent wherever It la necessary to bring them into action for the common benefit of the people. but I do not believe the invention ol now federal powers la necessary of de sirable." Leadership," said Wilson in another part of his address, "as I take it Is the task of suggestion, or adaptation, or Quickening thought and devising means. Referring to "big business," ne sam: , "Centralized business has built up a vast structure, with an organization and equipment . overtopping all the states and seeming to have no match and no competitor except? the federal government, which is not intended for such competition. Amidst the confused and varied statutes of the various states stands this new colossus of business- uniform, concentrated, poised upon a single plane, governed not by votes, but by commands, and seeking not service but profits." . Governor Pothier of Rhode Island, who followed Wilson,, declared against the election of United States senatorsJ by direct vote of the people. "The neoole Of Rhode Island are' un alterably opposed to such a system," he Jd. "Aa President- Taft says, the question is not a party issue, although in New England, where tne uepuoiicans tn vra bava controlled the election of senators, It is not ak all surprising that the Democratic platforms snouia demand that such an amendment be made in the constitution of the United States. As-far" as Rhode Island Is concerned the neon'e are disposed to regard the considerations actuating the framers ot the constitution as having the same weight today as whenj the document was. written. Those who do not favor the nroposltion believe' that - the? two bouses of congress should not be chos en by the same constituencies, and that for the advantage each holds over the Other to be lessened would, in fact, be of no advantage at -all.
