action That additional popular governments our
leaders in Washington occasions have stated that
the object of Americas entrance into and prosecution OF
the war, although in different terms
We have popular government without freedom OF

nare representing on political matters opposite views on
certain policies Through these parties the people select hrs
primaries and then in the general election their servants
