Is impossible TO reach agreement
upon all questions. Parties are
formed by those who reach a con-
sensus of opinion. 1t was the intent
of the founding fathers to give to
this Republic a dependable and en-

sentative in form, and it was de-
signed to make political parties not

the effective agencies through which
hopes and aspirations and convic-
