GOVERNMENT OF PARTY
Prohibition Candidate Enunciates q
New Political Problem

Oskaloosa, Ia, Aug. 4-Eugene Cha
fin, prohibition nominee for the presi-
lency of the United States, addressed
Two meetings here today. Among
other things he said:
We are a government by political
parties, always have been and always
will be. A republic cannot be govern
ed in any other way and q political
party never can be any better than
the rail it serves. 1t does not matter
how many good men there are in the
party. If they cannot carry the cleo
tion without their criminal element in
the party then they must serve that
criminal elecent after election and
they can get no better legislation than
this criminal element will stand for.
"A majority of the voters in every
political party in our history have
been, and now are. good men. II their
parties do bad things, such as licens-
ing the liquor traffic. it is becausa
they cannot secure an election or
reelection without serving the men
who want the license. Thus the voter
and influence Of good men are neutral
lied when given to party which can
not carry the election of bad men"
