Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1906-03-15


izenship.
We demand the election Of United States
Senatoes by popular vote.
For many years New Jerseys seats IN
the United States Senate have been occu-
pied by agents and attorneys Of the rail-
roads and other public utility corporations
We demand return to the system OF
electing State Assemblymen by districts.
The present system gives into the hands
Of the party machine too much power. The
change we propose will establish closer
and more responsible relationship between
the Citizen and his representative in the
State legislature.
We demand such addition to the primary
law as experience has shown to be neces-
sary TO the full protection of the voter IN
the selection of his party's candidates.
As advocates and supporters Of democratic
principles in governments, we demand
system Of direct legislation, through the
Initiative and Referendum. The Iuitiative
allows a number of citizens, stipulated by
law, to present TO the legislature, any law
they may desire to have enacted, and to
compel legislative action thereon. The
Referendum provides that stipulated
number of citizens may demand that any
act before it becomes law shall be sub
mitted TO a vote Of the citizens of the State,
or of the political division Of the State di-
recsly concerned n the proposed law. y,
