IA GOOD EXAMPLE.

Congressman-ele elect Berger says in a
post election statement:
Il did not make a personal campaign
NOR campaign for myself. did not
TASK anyone to vote for me. [ always
asked vote for the entire ticket,
which represented the working class. I"
So he did, and it is fact that the
candidates Of the other parties. defeat
ed Or victorious, may we'll ponder
over.
One Of the unfortunate fruits of the
open primary, as we have iU in
Wisconsin, 10 that it weakena party
spirit and party solidarity. while it
makes for personal politics and per-
sonal campaigning,
The Social Democrats hold a private
primary within the party and thus
escape the demoralizing consequences
of the official primary later on, in
which they merely participate pro
forma in order 10 get their candidates
on the ticket
Then they enter the campaign as a
party and not as individual office
seekers Each candidate whoops- 'er-
up for Socialism, for the whole ticket
and only incidentally for himself.
Eager as Mr.. Berger was to be elected,
he did not blow his own horn over
and above that of the county candi-
dates except as the regular means were
provided by the organization. Con.
tTast this with the attitude of the old
party candidates. True, they spoke
for the principles and policies of their
party or rather those of their faction,
but the insistent emphasis was ever on
the personal pronoun. 1t was Elect
me" first, and Stand by the party
a long distance second
1t has come to the pass that if a
candidate believed that he would lose
votes by helping another candidate of
his party he would not dream of prof.
fering the assistance.
No party can retain its fighting
front under such conditions. The
Democratic organization succumbed
long ago and the Republican body is
dependent for It's cohesion on the
power of a single leader. This may
work we'll enough where there is no
strongly organized third party but
where there is, as here in Milwaukee,
one sees the inevitable result. Let
the old parties look to it. Milwaukee
