d,iece by piece, the monster machines

,.uf the two great parties.
Surprising though it he to most citi-

i nave no status In law. In neither Con
;Stttution nor statute are to be found
any spcciiicat tons for assembling their
I complicated cogs. sewers and springs,
lnr for the operating them after they
'aiave been put together. The engi-
meers who constructed the republic
lovor dreamed that such mechanisms
would be needed. In no other country
even our sister republics--arc such
devices used, or anything like them
The Constitution left the matter of
choosing presidential electors TO the
State Legislatures, which generally
made the choice themselves, form any
years. Then the electors. meeting in
uhe States, voted for candidates nomi-
mated at tine National Capitol by party
cuucuses composed entirely of men,

they acquiesced in the choice OF their

their candidates. So the convention

The cnormity of the task of putting
