Humphrey's viewpoint is radically wrong His pri theory is that the public is en titled to n g that any friends of his want and can get This explains, in short, why he favored the Guggenheim plans to open up Alaska in- stead of the government operation and leas- ing plans. It explains why he was willing to pay millions of dollars to private companies as ship subsidies, but opposed the La Follette seamen’s bill to make traveling on the high seas more safe. It expia: why he OPPOSED WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND THE INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM, AND RECALL—he feared direct legislation. He did not vote for the direct election of senators. HE VOTED AGAINST THE EIGHT- HOUR LAW ON GOVERNMENT WORK IN THE CANAL ZONE. He voted for the “pork barrel” and “spoils” system of appropriating public moneys. | He opposed civil service, vot- jing to abolish the civil service commission, so that there could be more jobs distributed to political ward heelers.
