IF YOU CANT BOOST, DONT KNOCK! A TRUE TALE WITH A MORAL

C A big. broad shouldered man with a pair of deep set.

shrewdly twinkling eye*, walked into the office of Secre

tary Otto Case of the Seattle Commercial Club,

f "I'm E. H. Blodgett of Minneapolis" he boomed,

crushing Case's right hand in a bear grip. "Blodgett of

Blodgett & Co."

C He had a perfectly fine public ity-for-Seattle stunt,

sponsored by Blodgett & Co.. which is a big. responsible

concern. It required a comparatively small outlay of

money. It looked good. But—

"You see." meditatively explained Case, "money's so

tight right at this time"—

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

That the outlaw legislature of 915 passed a number of

rotten laws Is generally known. There can be on argument

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 qjgnatures are not obtained for the referendum measures.

It will mean that no robbery, however dastardly: no plunder, however

shameful: no Iniquity, however obnoxious, can be defeated by the people

if a treacherous legislature wills otherwise.

In the early stages of the refererdum campaign, the most important

service you can pertorm is to providt a place where tlie 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?

If so, communicate at once with the State Referendum league,
