I'VE believe in party organiza-
tion " declares the Brooklyn Chroni-
Gle. without it public questions
would never be fairly debated and the
issues tried before the people. We
believe in party loyalty. Without it
a contest for office becomes a mere
personal affair, in which the most un-
WORTH candidate often wins. If your
party nominates good and competent
men they are entitled to your support
even If you personally like their oppo-
nents better. 1t is only when incom-
petent and unfit men are nominated
that higher duty than that to party
arises and bolting the ticket is no
