Political parties the creatures of we,
the People The political power of thin
republic Is peerless among the nations
We. the people, are the rulers of our rulers
and we bind our judges with cords The
insure domestic tranquility and promote
the general welfare There is that which
disturbs the general tranquility of the
nation, and openly opposes the general wei
fare. This enemy of all righteousness,
this abomination which make:h desolate

life. Their policies are but the chaff o
paper resolves, mere nothing until tn
people with their ballots vote them or any
one of them into office and power. Tn
policy of party is the policy of each ant
every citizen who votes that way. A
political party in power should not b.
blamed for the natural effects Of its pub
lished policy when the votes of the peopl
can, whenever they please, overturn tn
rule and give the government to another

land as guilty of the high crime of permit

homes when the constitution places i
their hands weapon sufficiently powerful
