There are about ], 600 reasons why a
man can not be a partisan and a pat
riot at the same time. One IS that
partisanism tends to make a man blind
to the filth in his own party, which
aceumulates through years Of uninter-
rupted power, while at the same time
it keeps him from recognizing the
merits Of manhood as above the in
terests OF the party leaders. The other
