The one- Ie is not an easy matter for one to break with his party'and to sever an allegiance of a'life time. Party affiliations are' strong in most of us, and we are loath to 'admit that our party.can err-in matters of pol- icy.

It is this: unswerv- ing allegiance of ours to our party' that is the bane of party government." The gov- }ernment relies on our Votes, counts on our loyalty, and becomes 'careless, reckless and indifferent to the cduntry's weal.
