Tells of Awakening.
Continuing, the visitor described his
awakening to the fact that there were
bosses in New Jersey, and that these
bosses Were in control Of the govern
ment and were in conspiracy to give
the people anything except what they
wanted Then he told how he, IAN inno-
cent, ignorant Of the old ways of doing
things had gone in for politics, bucked
the old machine and twice smashed 1t.
Winding up his dissertation on the
bosses Governor Wilson said any boss
anywhere was not a sign OF life, but an
indication of decay.
The nation has been using only part
Of its brains, he asserted, and the country
is full of great unused forces, like labor
and lawyers and commercial club MEM

lunched at noon, saying the majority Of
them had been always content to sit back
and vote the party ticket straight, or just

while the party has been put in the hands
Of receivers. Men Outside the parties

movement intimately with monopoly

said he sympathized with the progressive
program and subscribed to it, but that it
would be hopeless to carry out this pro-

Roosevelt.
In closing his argument, Mr.. Wilson
said the plan is to build new govern
