hold. And it is high time for them to
wake up. 1t is fact beyond dispute
that year after year the offices are par

en- or so men, none Of them of any par
ticular consequence aside from his CON

planned long in advance, and the offices
are used largely i'll payment OF political
debts. 1t cannot be denied that good
men get into office by the operation OF
the system, but the system itself is all
wrong. Under it the people have practi-
cally no voice in the selection of their SER
wants; they simply ratify the action OF
