It also provides that in event both the governor and the president of the sen ate should pe unable to discharge the duties of the executive office the speaker of the house shall become governor to serve until the disability be removed, or until the next biennial election. MIXTirEXFItta'D TKKSf The amendment provides, also, that a governor elected to fill vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of the governor whose death, resignation or other disability brought him into office. The proposed amendment attains the same end sought by the lieutenant gov ernor amendment twice repudiated by the voters of the state by most decisive majorities. But there are other and more vital objections to it than to the lieutenant governor amendment concern ing which the electorate spoke so plainly in the negative. The adoption of the amendment by the people would make of every legislative organization fight a quasi convention for the election of a potential governor, not by direct vote ef the electorate, but by indirection and, more than probably, by manipulation. An abiding; conviction is expressed by Socialists Hope To Win Favor by 2-Syllable Words V By George B. Holmes . New j iFork. May 13. (I. N. S.) For the first time in recent years the leaders of the Socialist party are abandoning to day their assortment of stock phrases such ae "Down with capitalism! and "Dictatorship ot the proletariat, and are preparing; to go out and bid for the votes of laboring; men this year by ap pealing to their logic rather than to their class prejudice. The' ultraradical, or "left wing fac tion, has been defeated on the national convention floor and the conservative element, led by such men as Morris Hill quit, Victor Berger. Oscar Amerlnger. Cameron Kins; of California and Judge Panxen of New Tork, are in control of the party's destinies. - The Hlllqult program for political ac tion duajna; the 'coming eam'paign, which triumphed over the soviet program of J. Louis Engdahl andyhis associate ex tremists from Chicago, is designed to ap peal particularly to "the man in the street." It is, a primer of ' Socialism, with all words of more than two sylla bles barred from it. "That has been the trouble with us Socialists for 40 - years," said Victor Berger. "We have prated about Marx ian Socialism and 'proletarian ism' in all our campaigns. And not one man in JO knew what we were talking about." more than few that the chair of the state senate Is more often than not filled by those of gubernatorial caliber than otherwise. Within the relative re eeat past Jay Bowerman was president of the state senate, and he was repu diated aa a candidate for governor by the people. W. IaIt Thompson 'also held the office.:--He has not submitted him self to the ballot. Ous Moeer held the presiding position and the voters of the state registered their opinion of him as a gubernatorial candiate. He la the author of the proposed amendment. The election of a president of the sen ate is pretty badly involved In Inside politics as It Is. The office comes, all too often, from secret combinations made and promises given both Inside and outside the legislatur. ETILft ABX XXK With the president of the senate stand' ing In the role of a possible governor, as would be tbe ease under the amendment, not only would all manner of additional and Invidious influences be injected Into the election, but tbe situation would tend to engender hostility and conflict between the executive and the legisla tive branches of the state government even to a greater degree than . is at present the caee and that, usually, la bad enough. . Finally, the amendment would threw the election of a possible Interim gov emor into the hands of it men and take It away from the people ae a whole.' Whether ' the present constitu tional previsions, now adjudicated and made definite in meaning by the su preme court, by which the secretary of state succeeds 'to the governorship in case of necessity be Ideal or otherwise, it yet gives to the entire electorate of the state the opportunity to measure can didates for that office with that con tingency in mind. VOTEXS CAS CHOOSX ' ' The voters of the whole state can choose for secretary of state, amone the entire list of candidates who present themselves, that man who, la their opin ion, would best . serve . as secretary of state ana in time or necessity, as aov srnor as well. Under the terms of the proposed amendment the voters of each senatorial 4 district, and representative district as well, will choose among local candidates men for the senate and house, any one of whom may be elevated to the governorship by force of circum stances, irrespective of qualification or populy desire.
