T Portland, Ore., Jan. 27, 1912. Editor Beaver State Herald, Lents, Oregon. In yours of the 25th an interesting communication from our mutual friend, W. S. U'Ren, is published concerning the origin of the “Ore- gon System.” He mentions me as having advocated the initiative and referendum as early as 1887 In fact 1 advocated it in 1884 and perhaps in 1883, in the Oregon Vidette and Anti Monopolist, published in Salem. Tn 1885 I organized several locals of the Knights of Labor in this State and advocated it wherever I went, lt attracted little attention. The real origin of it rests with a man in Switzerland whose name I have forgotten. The old form of these institutions was verbal or by show of hands at town and Cantonial meetings This Swiss statesman advocated its use on a ballot and thereby en- abled it to be used for national is- sues. One of the old pioneers ad- vocates of it on this coast was Si- meon Sietson, of San Francisco, who called my attention to it in 1882. and the oldest paper on the coast to ad- "Diazify” is the new word conied by Col. Watterson in refer ence to Roosevelt and a third term. That word doubtless ful ly expressess the situation. The "dawg” spoken of in the Missouri poem is no more abused than the one tied to W. J.
