A Stolen Government: How to Restore it, and to Thwart Further Embezzlement of Power, Through the Advisory Initiative, or Public Opinion Law
Newark: The People's Lobby of New Jersey, 1908. A populist proposal by the People’s Lobby of New Jersey for a Public Opinion Law, in which “the people would have the power to force such consideration of such issues as are demanded by the public interests, by taking the questions out of party politics and out of the hands of the politicians” (p. [4]). The People’s Lobby formed in 1907 to examine bills proposed to the legislature and to propose legislation based on the will of the people. The group appears to have been active from 1907-1909. Walker was a journalist for the Newark Evening News.
