over the entire country revolt
against the time-worn form Of polit-
ical organization.
'Iniative and referendum, recall, di-
rect election of senator's, direct nomin-

voters of our political parties means

other man. He then nominated Slim

platform that we stood for justice, that
we would punish men in public life and
in business life alike, and that the high

"Those have been our words and
those have been Mr.. Stimsons deeds.
What we have said he has DONE
'I feel that we should put on the
platform that we have adopted a man
whose past career is in itself an alb

do the particular work for which he
is to be elected to do, and therefore
