INITIATIVE AM HI Ff BENI'L'M.
Of The Raleigh N ews and Observer,
one of the leading Democratic dai
lies of this State, has also shown
great progress. It is not only sup

FUNDAMENTAL PLANKS tation reform, but it has moved up
to another important Populist prin
ciple. Read the following editorial:
"Direct Legislative i. e. The Ini
tiative and Referendum seems to be
growing at the North. It is not a
party question, all three parties in
Massachusetts having placed it in
their platform and many leading
men in all parties having declared
for it. In South Dakota, it has been
adopted as an amendment to the
Constitution and is to be submitted
to the voters this fall. In New Jer
sey it came within two votes of suc
cess and in Kansas it passed the
House but lacked three votes of the
constitutional two-thirds in the Sen
ate. In Nebraska it has-been adopt

Whether it is a genuine reform
which shall sweep the Union as the
Australian ballot has done, or a
Utopian scheme nnsuited to our ideas
we can tell after it has been tried
elsewhere. It has done well

in a certain townthip should n quest
tbe county commitue of th party io
any county to call a conference and
the committee should deciae that
sucn a course wu not necessary or
not wise or not for tbe best interests
of the party, then how could any true
Populist in that county, who be
lieved in maintaining theorganizt
tlon of the party sustain or approve
of the action of these citizens if they
should proceed to call a conference
in the name of the whole party of
the county and attempt to lay out a
policy for the future or to take any
other action in the name of the par
ty! Would it be reasonable to sup
pose that a meeting so called would
be a representative meeting? It would
not be even representative of the
Populists of the township if there
was any difference of opinion, much
less of the Populists of the county,
and therefore, such action, instead
of being binding would create fresh
friction and dissension. Sarelv their
of your BCllon wonid ue looked upon asare-
I stated vou against the organization, and
surely their action could not be
claimed to be taken in the interest
of party unity and party harmony.
If you wish simply to hold a con
ference for consultation, and ex
change of opinion among yourselves,
then there can be no objection to
that, and those who desire to attend
may be benefitted thereby; but let
me urge you not to assume to speak
for those who do not see fit to take
part, nor attempt to take any action
in the name of the party organiza
tion, lest you stir up fresh friction
and do that which is most desired by
the monopolies and gold trust.
In this connection, permit me to
call your attention to the fact that
Mr. Coxey, a member of vour com
mittee, has already announced pub-
