Party orranizatlNns are necessarY in

E6rty 6r0S0UC anu : UCUE0.
Party organizations are necessary In
every free government When the
people are permitted to select their ru-
ers it becomes necessary to keep up q
party organization aad to hold such
party t" strict account ability for the
manner in which they discharge their
duty to the people. The beauty of our
system Of exercising the elective fran
chise is that when party fails to meet
the just expectation of the voters, they
can exI ress their will by defeating the
Objectionable party and placing others
in power whom they believe to be bet
ter qualified to discharge the duties de-
volving upon public officers.
