POLITICS AS A BUSINESS AND THE REMEDY

There is without doubt a great deal Of truth in the
complaint OF the average American business man that
politics is q business, and that he has not time to at
tend to any business except his own.

last National campaign and the ancient establish
ment Of Tammany hall. make il plain that politics now
adays is a business and conducted with as much sys-
tenn as the business of any private merchant or of any
corporation or trust
