THE TVO-pARTY SYSTEM is the foun-

If * based upon the theory lhat the people
pntrust one or the other OF the major polit-
cal parties with the responsibility Tor oper-
,t;nd their Government That means tre-
1o,rdon. load Of responsibility for whichever
n,rtv honnens to be in power. With that re-
Snonsibilitv should 90 the authority neceS-

the party. "a. -,..
Congressional elections OF 1910
, it means that if, as now seems inevitable,
the Republican Party Is calico upon TO take
control of Congress, the Party must be given

Renuhicans throughout the nation should
- knrn that thought in mind as the campaign
. progresses this year. They Shoulo remember
$ that the election of Republican Congress
- means the election of Congress IN which
Rcpublicans-rcal RepublcanS-control both
e the Senate and the House OF representatives
: There is in some quarters too mucn OF DIS
t nosition TO look with favor, or at least with
tnlnr,tinn unon thr election of Democrats
who are Villinn occasionally to vote with Re-
= nuhIican members ON controversial issues.
II is. of course, nattering to Republicans
@ to receive such evidences OF support from
q patriotic Democrats
q But the support which Democrat mem
e hcrs are able to give is of no assistance what
ever to the Republican Party IN exercising
o. effective control of the Legislative nfanch OF
O the Federal Government. Congress functions
lc through the committee system. II a majority
s of Members Of the House of Representatives,,
'c for example. is composed of Republicans that
t. means that every committee IN the House Is
ly controlled by Republicans, that every COM
mittec chairman is a Rcpubhc'n' that Re
publican bills will have priority IN consider
lr alton by the House itself.
al AT the moment we have Il tragic llluStra-
'd ton of what happens when one party has Il
V. nominal majority in the Legislative branch
tc but has actually lost effective CONTROL There
tn are still nominal Democrat maIortlcS IN both
IS the Senate and the lIOusc-mal0rltleS which
ld look substantial on paper. Actually, however
as is proved by the do-nothlng record OF the
i'll Administration for the past year OF more, the
ms Democrats do not have real control of Con
I'M %rcSs.
s" The chief sufferer from this unfortunat,
cd condition is the Government of the | lmte'
id, StateS-in its prestige abroad and IN th
TO- chaos on the domestic front.
