fiuences 1t Is almost impossible for the
sincere rank and file workers to strug-
gle. The characterless Populist who is
prominent in council will betray his
cause as readily as the degenerate DEM
ocrat will throw aside the traditions of

principle. as such compacts usually are,
there is slight hope that men Of sincere
convictions will be listened to or that
the doctrines they represent will receive
even secondary consideration. The men
who are running the fusion machine
have little time to think of principles
and the people: they are too much en-
crossed looking after plumber and
