protecting their own interests.
In answer, we should say we will be
as safe in the hands of a majority of
our people as we are now in the hands
of the numerous trade and transporta-
ton monopolies, who are now manag-
ing ou.. government to crafty their I'M
limited greed for gain.
The time has come in this nation
for new declaration in favor of the
sacred rights CT all humanity.
Until we are able to separate pri-
vate and corporate business interests
from politics and the management of
our public affairs, we should manage
the public interests and affairs Of the
people of this nation according to the
sound business principles that always
prevail in the management of all other
big business management. We should
plan to keep by direct election the
supreme power of our government In
the hands of a majority of those who
are affected by its management. This
we can safely do by direct election of
the legislative, judicia. and executive
departments in our government.
''Thc people should be and are the
sources Of all official power in this ma
ton, hence no official power should be
maintained or created who claims to be
greater than its source

of our people for the people, by the
people.

selecting all OF our chief officials by
direct election, not indirect as we are
now doing with many of them. This
indirect method is giving private and
corporate interests an opportunity to
obtain hy secret methods great power
in public affairs that would be impos
sible for them to obtain in the open.
after we have direct election of all of
our CHEZ public officials
I'VE should amend our constitution
to provide that a law that has been
approved and adopted by majority of
the several hundred good lawyers in
congress and approved by the president
and his cabinet of excellent legal ad :
visers should stand until it is amended
or repealed by the above legislative and
executive departments of our govern
ment
1T is absolutely absurd 20 allow any
five of our supreme court judges, some
of whom may have been selected by Sc
cret and corrupt influences, and who
know that they owe their judicial posi-
tion to these influences, to nullify or
set aside law that has been approved
and adopted by the legislative and
executive departments of this great
country
