Il am aware that in the writing Of a
platform il Is impossible 10 SUIT the npln-
ions Of all. / recognize that people who
IN NIX VIII differ, and that We often md in
a platform things upon which We can not
fully agree, and We fan TO find in plat
forms sometimes the attention to poll
cIes which We regard as important But
the platforms are not written by all Of
he party they are written by majority
Of the party. Ana when a majority q d
party writes a platform the others in
the party must ether stand upon II or get
out Of The party. There Is no other
plan known except the rule Of a major
ity. and il is better for minority 10 he
alieuated than Tor the voice Of a majority
