But how about the referendum and initiative measures the constitutional amendments upon which you will called to vote? ‘The candidates are so busy telling about themselves it they have no time to speak on these measures—and, oubtedly, an alarming number of voters haven't got slightest idea of what it’s all about. And yet these measures are really more important than issues which are to be decided. Because a candidate is elected for six years, at most, hile these measures have a permanent effect upon the of the state—the laws which will govern not only but your children and your children’s children.

Bo let us remember, tf we would be true to all that our duties impel us to do, no part ts completely and faithfully played tf lack- ing In mutual effort and ald, and he ts remiss and unworthy of fame who falls to ug teamwork a part of his game!
