organization. The great battles Of
the past in which Republicans won
were conducted upon a systematic
plan of organized work, embodying
an organization Of the State by con-
gressional districts. judicial dis
tricts, counties, townships and vot-
ing districts. Organization re-
quires time in its accomplishment
and patience in carrying it on. 1t
can only be affected by painstaking
applications, intelligent direction
and genuine harmony of the ele-
ments contributing to the work.
The district committeeman is as i'm

of his action as is the chairman Of
the State Central Committee. With
out his support and cooperation
the county chairman is powerless;
without the support of the county
chairman the district organizations

trict organization the State Central
Committee can do nothing. The

In fact. the ter4sf dfrect legislation

known to a dozen men ten years ago;
but the spirit back ,af'tAem has been as
old as the founding lot the country.
The Pilgrim Fathers. hefore they land

which every freeman was to vote on
the laws which were to govern them.

when it had grown too large for the

PRODUCTIVE OF Low ORGANISMS,
Scientists tell us tina. the lower you
get the order of creation, the more
young are spawned at a time. Thus a
Goldfish will spawn 100000 eggs. Of
which very few grow to maturity. Our
present system is productive of low Or
ganisms. We spawn our laws by the
hundreds and thousands, and few OF
them are of any. use. Switzerland has
set the example in direct legislation, or
a true democracy, which, to my way OF
thinking, we should follow here.
would like to say that the move
ment is making rapid progress in Aus
tralia and New Zealand, and local
progress in France, Norway and Eng
land. It is growing, too, very rapidly,
in this country. There are state direct
legislative leagues in from Is to 20
states, and some of them are doing a
great deal of active work. Direct legis-
lation constitutional amendments have
passed one house in over 20 legislatures
and an amendment passed the Populist
legislature Of South Dakota in 1896, and
was adopted by their people in 1898 by
a vote of two to one.
The Republican legislature Of Ore
gon passed an amendment, which, II
passed by the next legislature, will be
voted on by the people. The Democrat
ic legislature Of Utah passed an amend
ment last year which will be voted on
there this fall, so that honors are easy
between the parties. In all probability,

POWER IN PEOPLES HANDS.
When we make them advisors or
counselors to the people as to what to
do but always retain in the hands Of
the people the power of enacting or de-
feating a law, we will then be able to
make some progress ourselves. Direct
legislation at present has one great dis
advantage, which in the future will be
great advantage. There are no OFF,
GERS in it, no jobs, no schemes, nothing
out of which money can be made. It
simply 1t to put the power out of the
hands Of a small body of people into
the hands Of all the people. Hence,
the agitation for direct legislation has
been entirely unselfsh. and those who
have worked for it have worked because
they felt it would be a great good to
all the people.
In future this will be q tower Of
strength for it, and it looks as IL with
in the next ten years majority OF the
states and many Of the cities will fol-
