Excerpt from Government by All the People: Or the Initiative, the Referendum and the Recall as Instruments of DemocracyFor their unconscious help in the preparation of this book I am grateful to the nameless pioneers who have spent their strength and haply lost their lives struggling to roll away the stone from the sepulchre of democracy, to William S. U'ren and John R. Haynes, annunciators and provers on the other edge of the continent of the resurrection of the body politic, to William J. Bryan, Robert M. Lafollette, Woodrow Wilson, and Theodore Roosevelt, the great apostles to the gentiles, and last but not least to Joseph G. Cannon, James R. Day, Joseph W. Bailey, William Barnes, Jr., and Nicholas Murray Butler, intrepid rearguards of retreating paganism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
