STORY by B HARVEY ITS HERE COME SEE VOTE THE PARTY NOT THE INDIVIDUAL Political parties are found in every democratic They are always suppressed by dic tators Thus there seems to be some connection between part ies and democracy And yet there widespread opinion that parties ore an evil There is tendency to blame the parties for all the graft and corruption found In politics There is a feeling too that party is a threat to national un ity Party loyalty it is said tak es the place of national loyalty Trio views are reflected in a tendency to vote for thc indi vidual rather than the party That tendency Is often encour aged by politicians themselves have Been candidates conduct their whole campaign on the basis of personal qualification without ever mentioning the policies or the record of their party Such an attitude is a mis take us see why acquires some education in ec onomies and politic- I mo in spite of himself And is forc ed to look at from the public and national rather than the personal or local point of view This great educative for ce would be lost if campaigns were conducted on a personal rather a party binds parties perform some val- liable services In democratic government Perhaps the great est of these is educational An election a contest is an in teresting event In party strug gle the various issues before the electorate are debuted from angle Even the voter who little for the general welfare can hardly escape the excitement of election He Mussolini and Hitler made their most telling attack nil de mocracy by training their orat orical guns on the party system They claimed that parties were all peeking selfish in terest at the expense of the nat ional interest They ridiculed the party system as de vice through which onehalf the political ability of the country wis occupied preventing the other half from gelling anything done There is some weight in that criticism but only where there arc num erous parlies organized on oar- row local or occupational inter ests Where there is a twoparly system belli parlies have to de vise platforms of wide appeal have to appeal to hide pendentminded people and to fairminded people As long as the voters themselves are pub liespirited the panic have adopt policies can he de fended In Ihc name of the pub lic And when you have a two party Ay stent in which one par- normally has a majority in Parliament the Opposition rail not prevent Government from getting things dene Hut it can and docs perform a valu able service as a watch dog of the public a vuiec of the public conscience An opposition party is requir ed for reason it is an alter v government at and ready to take over without purge or revolution or civil war any lime the voting pub lic wan is a change Admittedly personal qualities should always he ignored If you think that candidate of your party is altogether un worthy you may be justified In voting against him as a belated against the action of who nominated him Again if you happen to have an to vote for can didal of exceptional of mind character a I Woodsworlh mi Arthur Mel- or Wilfred you would he abundantly Justi fied In voting for him even If you did not entirely favor his policies But you might vote a- even such men these if you thought their policies would lead to dimeter There is the crux of the mat ter The purpose of an election is choose our rulers and to decide our national In the recent federal election the voleis were called upon to decide whether to keep Mr St Laurent and Company at the helm of our Ship or Slate or to them with Mr Drew and Company In making that choice two questions were re levant- Which of the contenders would pursue the best policies Which would run the of the country best We do not elect our from lie Legislature as the Americans do We not vote for Mr St Laurent or Mr Drew unless we happen vole in or Carleton The only way we can choose be twee them is by voting for the parly We do not decide en policy by direct vote The only way we run our policies Is by voting for the parly whose pol icies wo prefer Our purpose is not to select a collection of follows but tn get the best gov eminent and select the best pol icies for the country Unless the candidate exceptionally had we should ignore personal fact ors and vote for the party J of IT BREAKS THE PATTERNS OF THE PAST THE 57 Chevrolet
