THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE
PEOPLES POWER
dayton News, July %. ]

At this time, before there is
any concerted opposition to the
initiative and referendum, the
Daily News desires to make a
prediction as to those who will
oppose the plan.
First, there will be a little Op-
position from a number of peO-
pie who sincerely believe the in
itiative and referendum is some
sort of new tangled doctrine that
is not safe. They are people
who have an abiding faith in the
wisdom Of the forefathers, and
who will claim that inasmuch as
our ancestors got along without
it, we can do the same. If there
were any desire to be rude, they
would be referred to as moss
backs, or fossils, but there is no
such desire. Hence they may
be classed under the heading of
those who fail to see that the
world moves.
Then, there will be a great
deal Of opposition from big
business" s"-from the great en-
ployers Of labor, from corpora
tions. This opposition will be
wiser than the first named, be.
cause big business" under
stands it's purposes. 1t will be !
more powerful, because it will
take greater interest and will
have more money at it's com
mand than will the world does !
nOt-mOvers.
Thesepeople understand fully |
that it is easier to secure certain |
Legislation through legislatures
than through the people. They |
know that it would be folly TO |
secure special Legislative grants
from a legislature if the people
had the right to veto it, They |
know that the great mass of
voters are intelligent, and would
reject class legislation So,
they are unwilling to have in the
a clause that gives
to the voters the right to pass
upon a legislative enactment.
In this class of people are in
cluded all Of the persons who
desire to employ children in
their shops; all Of the people
who want franchises without
paying for them; all Of the peo-
pie who hope to escape taxation;
all Of the people who want laws
passed in their favor and against

The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-08-04

During the congressional de-
bates on the Arizona constitu-
ton one of the favorite unfair
methods of the tory side was to
quote the writings of Woodrow
Wilson. Until a year ago Gov
ernoa Wilson was an opponent
of the initiative, referendum
and recall, and was considered
by many a reactionary. His
writings during that period nat
urally reflect the views he then
held. Tory Democrats like Lit
tleton of New York and tory
Republicans like Olmstead of
Pennsylvania quoted from these
writings, although both knew
quite well that Governor Wilson
has since acknowledged these
views to be erroneous. He is
now an advocate of the initia-
tive and referendum, and has
frequently so expressed himself.
In an address at Bayonne, New
Jersey, he urged the people to
adopt the commission form Of
government, with the initiative,
referendum and recall. Among
other things he said;
II have been preaching
that the initiative, the refer
endum and recall would not
work. And the deuce of it
is, that they do"

Al this juncture a large body Of Con-

The effect Of the battle was to dis

General Price insisted and even pro-

directing that the attack be made. and
McCulloch consented, provided he was
given chief command. The entire

Mcclellan came into conflict with Gen

Clellan himself recounts how, on his
second day at the capital, he called on
the president and was invited TO at
tend a cabinet meeting in the after
noon. After leaving the president he
called on General Scott and after an
extended conversation excused him
self, saying he had been invited to at
tend n meeting of the cabinet. Scott
thereupon grew indignant that sub

shown such an honor and The general
in chief not included and ordered Nc
Clellan to employ his time picking up
stragglers about Washington McClel-
Ian afterward explained to Mr. Lin
coin why he did not attend the cabinet
meeting, at which the president SEEM

The differences between the two gen
erals involved q much more serious mat
ter than social precedence, however.

templated brigadeS, divisions, corps
and armies. He objected to the old
divisions. In all except
the brigade formations Scott opposed
him. The general in chief insisted
that the geographical divisions were

Battle of Dug Springs.
The last Of July the Federal com
mander learned that the Confederates
were on the march toward Springfield
with more than 10000 troops. They
were approaching in two columns, one
from the south and the other from the
west. He decided to attack them in
detail and for this purpose moved out
with his army on Aug. I, leaving u
small garrison in the town. He aimed
his first attack at the force approach
ing from the south. BY night he had
advanced ten miles to Cave creek,
where he encamped. The next morn
ing he marched to Dug Springs, nine
teen miles from Springfield, where he
encountered the enemy under General
Rains. Dug Springs is located IN
valley about five miles long, with pro-
jecting wooded hills interrupting the
view. The presence Of the Confeder
ates was discovered through the ap-
pearance of Il cloud of dust mt the 9th
er end Of the valley. General Lyon
thereupon formed his forces in linesof
battle and advanced, with company
of infantry and another Of cavalry in
the lead Suddenly a force of Confed-
crates 500 strong emerged from the
woods and sought to cut df the in
fantry from the cavalry.
Captain Stanley, in command Of the
cavalry, ordered his men to fire as

there was a brisk fight for several
minutes, when one of Stanley's Off
lers ordered a charge. About twenty
