Became Convinced.
One incident after another, he said,

of New York and later, in his public
life, that certain large corporations
were crooked' When he be-
came governor he said he doubted if
he knew what the initiative, rcfcren-
dun and other measures Of the kind
really were. 1t was through his ex-
perience. he said, that he came to the
belief that such measures were neces-
sary to place the people IN more direct
control of their government.
In his speech here tonight he said in
part:
''There is not particle Of hope for
social or economic reform in the trl-
umph Of either the Democratic or the
Republican party. Each is boss-riddeD
and privilege controlled. Neither dare
face the real issue Of today. Each
proposes sham remedies and tries TO
distract the attention of the people
from their real needs By the empty
sound and fury with which they quarrel
over false issues. The two old parties
serve no other purpose than that Of
