Two things alone can bring success.

The first is honesty in public men, without which no popular government can long succeed.

The second is complete publicity of all the affairs in which the public has an interest, such as the business of corporations and political expenses during campaigns and between them.

To these ends, many unfaithful public servants must be retired, much wise legislation must be framed and passed, and the struggle will be bitter and long.

But it will be well worth all it will cost, for self-government is at stake.
There can be no legislative cure-all for great political evils, but legislation can make easier the effective expression and execution of the popular will.
