Senate proceedings The si THIRD PARTY MYTHS jfpring and the proximity of the primaries have reawakened the fancy of Ihe disgruntle politicians the economic hobby riders the eternal reformers and the everlasting secessionists and again they clamor and cry out for a third party Every presidential campaign witnesses the same fireworks Thee have been times when third party talk advanced to organization and even to the polls but after the election the third party is always and forever third The Committee of Forty-eight and other organizations or groups throughout the country are now indulging in chatter as to third party movement Apparently they have come up for air and talk But it is to be noted that all of them are talking in fragments with side utterances as to possible combinations that are admitted to be necessary to the organization of such move This year with the approach of spring third party talk is waking from its four sleep and is again registering in the news columns But to those who have studied the trend of political events and have followed the currents of political and economic thought it is only talk of a cheap sort at that In certain years now long gone there has been real substance in such talk Those who then nursed third party dreams were united to a degree that warranted the movement The issues that they urged were general and the backers of the move away from the major parties were somewhat united in interest and thought and aspirations But this year no such warrant for the thiijd party movement exists Those who are working for it- are variously assorted and hold to different interests and purposes many of which not only are at variance but are conflicting These groups are Widely scattered and the interests they represent are more widely placed Those in the East? with interests distinctive to the East are now chorusing with groups in the West representative of interests distinctively Western and groups in the North are chorusing with those in the South Those organizations are trying to sing the same song but they have no common chord As among themselves they are notably off key and there is no rule of political harmony that will aid them Even more widely divergent are the groups when consid-ed in their element make-ups Those elements include farmers workers and certain other classes of the population Combination has in some instances already been attempted "but' ances remains moving manifestly The now be it must the may campaigns elements consumer product cf he buys urges hand the and
