the church there are those who have

NATIONAL PLATFORM


of the Union Reform Party, Adopted
at Cincinnati, March !, 1899.
. Our present system of government
vests the entire law-maFing power in
representatives. The people elect
these representatives. but have no
control over their actions.
An experience of over a hundred
years in the pract:~al operation of this
system has proved that 1t does not
provide govrnment of, by and for
the people.
Representative cannot always
know certainly the will of their con-
stituents, and even where that will
has been clearly manifested it has
been continually disregarded.
Legislative bodies, from municipal
councils to the national congress, have
been controlled by corrupt influences.
Legislation has consequently been in
the interest of the corrupt few and
against the interest of the yoiceless
masses.
Under this system the people are
disfranchised on all matters of legis-
1ation. They are allowed to vote foT
meu, DuC are u6U1eu IHe T1SQL 10 VOr.
for measures. The people are gov
erned by laws which they did not en-
act and cannot repeal,
AS the result of this system great
abuses have arisen and politics ha:
become a synonym for corruption.
The people have seen these abuses
but being disfranchised on all legis-
lative questions have been unable tc
provide a remedy. They have become
divided into parties and factions con,
tending with each other in regard tt
the LEGISLATION needed Thev have
overlooked the fact that under ou1
system of government they have pow

they desire nor to prevent Legislation
