Those 260,000 votes in 1916, in spite of the old Single Tax
'leaders' largely joining hands with big business, indicate that
the crust is pretty thin in California. It isn't a job for
organizations to 'lead'. The people are demanding more than we
ever dared hope to secure for them thru reform. ..."
