YOUR HELP IS NEEDED That the outiaw legislature of 915 pi = rotten laws is generally known, as to that. The referendum campaign, however, has a bigger stake than merely overruling some of these bad laws. The stake is—POPULAR GOVERNMENT. If the referendum campaign fails, direct government fails, If enough gjgnatures are not obtained for the referendum measures, no plunder, however shameful; no iniquity, however obnoxious, can be defeated by the people if a treacherous legislature wills otnerwise. In the early stages of the referendum campaign. the most important service you can pertorm is to provide a place where the petitions may be readily signed by voters in your district. Have you a store or an office where a set of petitions may be placed?
