Partisan BigOtry
BIZ James T. Williams, Jr.

1t was the Republican party,
as we now know 1t, which in
the 1860's and early 70's began
an assault upon the court, un.
founded and indefensible, ma
licious and vindictive." This as
Sault was made lin the vain
effort to make the court a part
of the political machine and to
compel it to serve party pur.
poseS."
Always it has been the par.
tisans of the bigoted type and
never the people on their own
initiative that in a national
crisis put the American system
of government in jeopardy.
Neither the Democratic party
nor the Republican party is free
from the shame of having, at
one time or another in the past,
stopped to partisan attempts
ito undermine what cannot bs
directly overthrown."
In the light Of this melan.

pealed to true Americans Of
both political parties when he
said:
"Whether Democrats or Re.

GREED OR FEAR
In both houses Of Congress
today, as Senator Borah well
knows, there are members who
have been driven by the greed
for partisan favors or by fear
of partisan penalties to vote
for measures which they well
knew were probably unconsti.

place in the Congress Of the
United States. Yet some Of
them have the audacity to
aspire to a place in the Fed
