DICNVHR, Col., May 8. That ho Is

Hie recall of Judges was tho.axprcsslon
hero today of Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New JuiHcy iWlion Intervlfwed,by tho
United Press as to his stand on that
mooted ipiestton.
"I would not say that I am absolute
ly ngulust tlio recall of Judges," Wilson
said. "1 would rather say that I nm un
converted to the principle. My feeling In
the matter Is this:
"The Judge's duty Ib the Interpreta
tion of the law. If tho law's application
Is against tho wishes of the people, that
Is no leasou why the Judge should bo re
cii.ied. "Thero havo been Judges who over
stepped the bounds of their powers.
Them also have been Judges who, In
their deslro to gain re-election, nllowed
that (leslte to color their decisions. But
I think these cases were exceptions.
"I believe (hiu the American bench Is
ix ulunn body. 1 feel that the Judiciary
should be Muble, hence I am not recon
ciled to the lecall of Judges."
Asked illrtctly If ho were u candldat
for president, Governor Wilson said;
"1 cuuuot answer that question direct
ly It wonld bo Impudence In anyone to
suy he wished to become president und
cool cheek for him to say ho would le
ftist) 'the nomination If It were offered.
No man Is big enough to seek that Job
and no man- Is big enough to decline II.
If I should bo nominated I could not

Governor Wilson added:
"The Impiesslon has been spread about
the country that I fought tho New Jer
sey legislature In order to forco reform
laws. That is not true. Tho legislature
and I nre on the 'most umlcubto terms"
Knhtrglng on the topic, Wilson said
that since his election the legislature of
New Jersey, for the first time In years,
found itself without a master and that
for tho flist time Its members tasted
the Joys of liberty.
