This Is the historic fact which

she has the privilege Of being the
crossroads Of the Sacred Road of

As to the troublesome American

parently on the ground that to do 50

plores the Governments witch

Such, In briefest outline, are the
basic tenets Of 3 potential Wallace

But the formation of third party
Is easier threatened than carried
out. Before his custer from the
Truman cabinet Mr.. Wallace him
self often branded third-party pro-
posals as unrealistic. THE two
party system" he said on one occa-
sion, "is the only system that has
worked, and can work. in the United
States" Today. even while flirting
publicly with new party move

technical obstacles In the way.
He knows, at the very outset. that
the Nation Is stepped In the two
party tradition. He Is aware that
even II third party could overcome
the forces Of habit and tradition,
the various State election laws for
the most part have been designed
to discourage newcomers. While
minor parties are not banned In any
State, 1t has been made increasingly
difficult for them to qualify for q
place on the ballot.
In addition to these technical OBJ
stacles, new parties traditionally are
handicapped by lack of patronage as
an incentive, by inadequate financ-
ing and weak organization.
Because Of the unhappy expert
ence Of third parties, many labor
