Ancnt the Anient dam, the fisher
men of Central Point are almost at
the point of volunteering to assist

the country the thing would not be

law. The master game wardeu
knows these things, the nttorney-
gencral knows them, and the Anient
dam people know they arc respon
sible for the death of all tho game
fish in the Rogue river. The law

TO PROMOTE
PEOPLES RULE
Democrats at Washington Orrjanlzc
Federation to Bring About Needed
Improvements In System of Party
Government.
WASHINGTON, 1). C, July 5.
During the cdoslng days of congress
some 25 ot the progressive democrats
started an organization named tho
Democratic Federation ot tho U. S. A.,
which covers a now field.
Tho central Idea Is a federation tit
organizations throughout tho country,
composed of democrats, that shall
stand for the needed Improvements In
tho systom ot party sovornment and
other progressive Issues, and oporato
by selecting In each state and In tho
nation, by postal vote, only those Is
sues upon which public sentiment Is
ogreed or can readily bo brought to
an agreement. Thon through tho
executive committees ot tho state and
national organizations tho candidates
within tho democratic party who aro
to como before tho prlmnrlos will bo
svstomatlcallv Questioned and tholr
replies published to tho mombors ot
the party. Thus the Issues will bo
raised, it is said, and It Is expoctod
that tho democratic voters will at
tend tho primaries and protect tholr
luterests vote for tho candidates
who aro pledged to tho needed Im
provements In tho system of govern
ment and the other reforms. Tho
voters' self Interest Is rolled upon to
cause them to vote that way.
Illustrations to that effect aro In.
ho literature of tho now organlzalon.
It 13 pointed out that It was through
this general system of questioning
candidates for tho re-establlshmont of
the peoplo's rulo that tho Initiative
and referendum wero secured In
Maine. Missouri, Oklahoma and oth
er states. There the lssuo wjis raised
by a committee representing tho or
ganized farmers and tho organlzea
wago earners.
The essence of it Is tho selection of
Issues by tho progressive democrats,
followed by the questioning of all
democratic candidates upon these is
sunes, beginning a consldorablo tlmo
before tho primaries aro hold. Here
tofore the issues havo been selected
by the delegates in tho democratic
state and national conventions, ex
cept as tho voters, without organiza
tion, have managed to instruct tho
delegates. In 190S in the doraocratlc
national convention tho dolegates
from two-thirds of tho states wore
thus instructed which resulted in tho
peoplo's rule program and tho nomin
ation of rogresslve leaders. It Is pro-
nnsod. sav tho founders of tho Demo
cratic Federation, that practically all
of tho dolegates In tho 1912 demo
cratic national convention will bo in
structed, easily and with full details,
and that In 1911 and 1912 practically
every democratic state platform will
declare for a people's rulo system
of government.
