Kane has been a staunch and unwav-

The initiative and referendum, in
truth, was one of the main plank*
in the platform on which Judge Kane
was elected delegate to the constitu-
tional convention, and in that body
he was one of the foremost cham-
pions for such a provision in the
state constitution. Not only on the
floor of the convention did lie cham-

manded that the recall be inserted
in the constitution, a demand he
