WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.--Congres-
sional advocates Of the initiative and
referendum expressed confidence to-
day that the attack upon the system

States yesterday would prove TO be
complete failure. Questions asked by
several Of the justices We're aimed az
tho argument that only legislatures
have the power 10 enact laws. The
judges called for authorities sustain
ing that contention and they were not
forthcoming
The fact that in all. or practically
all the states, the constitutions, the
highest law IN every state, have been
enacted by the vote OF the people, Is
chiefly relied upon by the Il and r"
advocates 20 win their case.
It seemed, they said today. that II
the highest law could be enacted by
popular vote. the same method could
be used in tho enactment Of minoi
laws.
