"Unless they havo a change Of heart between now and Decent

llcpublican leaders In tho Scnato and-, House. The twelve fol
lowers of the Jute 1m Follctte wh0 sit in the House, will be read

llo-llum. Well,' and why not? This is u Democracy and a lie
iinbjic politically administered by parties. At the recent Presiden
tial election the Ainericuu people, by au overwhelming majority,
voted to place this government under the control of l'rcsident
Coolidgc as the leader of the Kepublican party.
The people emphatically declared they believed in President
Coolidgc and his policies and wanted them carried out. But Mr.
La Follctte and his followers declare they do not believe in Presi
dent Coolidgc and his policies and do not want them carried out.
In short, they oppose the first principle of freedom and Democracy,
which is popular rule. " . ' '
Such an attitude as La Follctte shows therefore, does uot appeal
to us as either good sportsmanship, good politics or common ' hcukc.
Political parties are entirely artificial organizations, the mem
bership constantly changing, as the principles and individual opin
ions change. i '
Senator Lit Follctte and his followers have not been read out of
the Republican party, they liave deserted it.
Such desertion, we do not condemn, for if a person ceases to
believe in the principles of a political party, such a person should
withdraw, both in justice to that party and to himself.
What wo do condemn, and what we can't understand, on any
basis of good sense or good morals, is for an individual to desert his
party and work for its defeat, and still pretend to be a member of
the party, and insist upon receiving political benefits from it,
If La Follctte and his followers wish to be Republicans, let them
act liko Republicans. Jf they don't wish to be, let them withdraw,
and form a party of their own, or support some party in which
they do believe.
Hut above all, let them stop fighting the Republican
party on one hand and then wailing because they are treated as
opponents on the other. Such an attitude would be iniquitous if it
were not so childish. .
