questioned master of both the Repub-

The inducements for this coalition
letween business and politics have
been tempting in this young state.
Vast natural resources have lain open
inviting private exploitation. Fran
chises and charters Of enormous po-

ton as population and the social de-
mands arising from the increasing
numbers grew. Able men as individu-
ais and in associations, acting in ac-
cordance with the spirit of their day
and environment, unmatched by pub
lie opinion, have, organized systemat-
lcally and seized and appropriated
these now immensely valuable proper
ties and franchises. These men and
corporations did away with the annoy
ance of laws and law officers by also
organizing and appropriating the en-
tire machinery Of state government
throughout every department and in
cluding party organization. It is these
gentlemen and their successors who
are responsible for the great innova-
tions now necessary to curb their
threatening attitude toward our politi-
cal institutions. They must bear the
responsibility for the rapid changes
already made and other changes pend
