Dy James Callaway. It will be recalled that some month after his Madison Square speech, Mr. Bryan wrote a long article In the N York World, In which lie favored the Initiative and referendum as national measures to be adopted as plant the Democratic platform of 1908, Oov. Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, also advocated tneso as plnuks In oil national platform to be enacted int national law. Mr. Bryan, In his editorials in his Commoner, declared these measur were popular, and had been adopted by ft number of states and added: "II good for states why not In t/jo broad er field—the nation?" 8o, there wus danger of a surprise nt Denver. As Mr. Bryan was likely to be the nominee, and as those meas ures as national laws were destructive of States and at war with the repre sentation system of the fathers, J wrote a /cries of articles for the Tele graph on the "Initiative and Referen dum" to cull to ultention or the Demo cratic party and the Southern people the real meaning of the new move ment, hoping to arouse our people be fore these measures were slipped into the platform. It was felt that an un derstanding of them bearing on our representative system of government would cause their repudiation by t.io 1 platform committee. In an article Nome months ago, un der the caption: "Benjamin II. IH11 and Win. .1. Bryan in Contract," whlcu waa copied by many Democratic pap ers North and South, I said: "Mr. IJryan Is now calling upon the Farmers’ Union of the West and the American Federation of Labor to urge the otfhctment of the initiative and referendum Into national law. He bases his demand on the ground that the national legislation 1j nut nt alt responsive tv the will of the people. The Remedy. "There Is truth In tae charge. What we have now is extensive government The representative system was per verted by Thoa. U. Reed. The pro test was led by our own lamented Charles F. Crisp. Speaker Cannon has followed the practice inaugurated by •Czar Reid.’ The legislative power In the house was lodged in the speaker under the Hold regime. The commit tee on rules and the speaker and the president destroyed tne deliberative and parliamentary features of the Houte. Hence, the administration dominated legislation. The Democrats have chafed under the present rules of the House, ami would welcome the old rules which prevented the gag now- in distance which prevents from be ing responsive to Its membership, but submissive to the will of the Speaker. "Mr. Bryan and Gov. Folk and La Fqjlotte should fight for the old Demo cratic way—for the old rules-- and *,hus make the house mere responsive jo the popular will. This were better :hnn to change the system and put upon the country that socialistic plan, the lnltlnitve and referendum, des-j tractive of stntes j "Mr. Hitt fought the Tkftte of eo imlidation and State rights destroyers face to face. 4*'t Mr. Bryan fight las practice inaugurated by Thus.

Put the democratic party In power or fivreo the Republi cans to mend their ways and make the House responsive, as of yore. "Let us keep tile faith of tho fathers —and travel the constitutional paths they trod.' Now, It U most gratifying to the Sonthern people who always had more ;ystem of government than ony other section of the Union, to read w.iat in fluence Southern members had on the platform committee at Denver. They did not agree that whatever is popu lar In democratic. They knew that Jeffersonian democracy was not ultra- pmocracy. They knew ours is not a system of unbridled Democracy as contemplated by tho ’Referendum.’ They knew ours is a government by e people, acting not In the mass, but by representatives chosen by the peo ple. So. they propose to preserve our stem and not fly to the referendum And here is the remedy the platform committee adopted, and it was happily ndorsed by tin* convention. The plank against the "Referendum” as the rent- ly *ayn: Arbitrary Power of Speaker. "The House of Representatives wan designed by tho fathers of tho Consti tution to be the popular branch of our government, responsive to the pub- will. The House of Representatives as controlled In recent years by the Re publican party, has censed to he n de liberative and legislative body, reapon- to the will uf a majority of Its hers, but has como under the ab solute domination of tho Speaker, who has entire control of Its deliberations and powers of legislation. "We have observed with amazement the popular branch of our Federal gov ernment helpless to obtain either the codsideartlon or enactment of meas ures, desired by the majority of Its members, m . . "Legislative government becomes a failure when oue member, in the per son of tho Speaker, Is more powerful than t’.yj entire body.” "We demand that the House of Rep resentatives shall again become a de liberatlvc body controlled by a major ity of the people’s representatives and not by the Speaker, and we pledge ourselves to adopt such rules and reg- ulatiens to govern the House of Rep resentatives as will enable a majority of its members to direct Its delibera- i and control legislation." s Ben Hill said: Ye are in our father's house to ; not to erect new buildings. Let entinue to reject the nejv. Let us keep the faith of tne fathers. Herein s our safety, for ns John Sharp Wil- urns puts It. "the old Democracy Is nblwav between plutocracy and mao- racy."
