favor of Populiat principlee, ia
attracting the attention of our
I great daily papers. When Popu-
lists, afsw years ago, talked even
of free aiiver they were jeered at
by Democrate who themselvee
took up the cry afterwards and
waged s vigorous csmpsign with
1 s Populist-leaning candidate for
preeident and almoet anihilated
the Popnlist organjMtion. Tke
question of government owner-
ship of public utilitim, such ss
rsihroeds, telegraph, telephonm,
waterworks, electric lights, Ac.,
was ndvoootetl by Populists and
were vigorously attacked by Demo-
crate. Now we fiad the demo-
cratic speekert and prom hi lent
on the subject or openly advocat-
ing the principle. The ssms is
true of the initintive and referen-
dum, the election of United States
ssnatora by direct vote of the
people, and ether reforms. In-
deed many democratic stnte con-
vsntions have embodied them in
their platforms recently. Munici-
pal ownership of public utllitiM,

waterworks and city lighting, hsa
actually won ia all parte of the
United States by s<|tfoiseion to
