Re~eutS Party Attachment
The tendency is 10 resent attachment
( TO party or party organization. and 10
/ AN assertion OF individual opinion and
purpose at the expense of party discip-
/ line. The movement is toward faCJI0uaI-
ism and small groups rather than toward
large party organization, and the leaders
Of the party organization are subjected
/ 10 the seTeTest attacks and 10 the ques-
ro1 OF their motives without any ade-
qaatc evidence TO justify II.
II am far from saving that the Re
publican party is perfect. No party
which has exercised such power as Il has
exercised for the last seventeen years
could Dee expected TO maintain either in
IT'S rank and file or In irs marara,,ar,

therefore they are the result of H.
and we must not be blind 10 the
weight Of such an argument in an cleo

in the cost Of necessities can easily be
traced 10 the increase in our measure Of

sibly in some cases to the combinations

attacks upon the bill and the gross mis-
