But they cannot with stand the frenzy of hate which seeks under tne guise of political earnest ness to blot out American brotherhood and to cunningly persuade our people that a crusade of envy and malice Is no more than a zealous Inslstense upon their manhood rights, Political parties are exceedingly hu man; and they easier fall before temp tatlon than individuals, by so much as partisan success is the law of their life and because their responsibility Is Impersonal.
