Address of Judge Walter Clark on governing power and reform

In a Richmond address Judge Walter Clark urges graduates to grasp the pest of money power over politics. He argues that actual governing power now lies with wealth, not people, and calls for constitutional changes, including electing Senators and federal judges by the people and curbing corporate influence. The speech places the issue alongside stark historical parallels and warns of looming upheaval.
