Washington, July 1.-Ridicule
of the initiative, referendum and re-
call was the burden of speech in the
senate today by Sutherland (Repub-
lican, Utah..
During the last few years." he
said, "the United States has become
the ground of operation for an am
liable band of insurgent soothsayers,
indulging in cabalistic utterances re-
specting the initiative, referendum
and recall, sundry ingenious devices
for realizing the millennium by the
simple method of voting it out of its
present state of incubation. The
tendency Of so-called popular govern
ment is to esmasculate and ultimate
ly destroy representative government.
Legislatures will be swallowed up
by the initiative and referendum;
courts will be obliterated by the re-
call; political parties will be Jug
gled out of existence by the direct
primary, and, upon these ruins, will
rise the recently organized Progress
sive League, which is progressing
like woman getting off a car-with
her back to the front"
