Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - June 9, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news showers these Days by George a Sokolsky Hon. James a. Farley at seventy. James a. Farley is Spry energetic aggressive he attends More Public dinners than any Man in new York and wherever he goes he gets special applause he has become one of the most liked men in the big town. I was recently talking to a re Pul can elder statesman about How it happens that men grow increasingly popular As they grow older and he replied that the Public Recognises common sense when it sees it furthermore he said if the democrats in new York state had brains enough to nominate Jim Parley for United states senator they would win an enormous Victory because All democrats would vote for him and so would most republicans. I cannot appraise the statistics of such a situation but casual observation would justify the Assumption that a great Many republicans. Weary of the Lack of leadership in their own party would vote for James a Farley As a personal tribute to an upright citizen. The political parties Are breaking Down in Many areas because As parties they stand for nothing distinctive. They have become vehicles for electing particular persons without regard to party or principles who manage to get themselves nominated. The voters Are growing weary of the same names the attitude sizing of the press Gentry and puffing. We have just witnessed in France and it is being repeated in Italy the consequences of the total breakdown of political parties.

In a w orld where they will bring Light and inspiration to the 2. Tile two party system. While great Britain does not have fixed tenure in office for policy making Public officials it has developed a permanent civil service which is above party and a social system of rewards now entered in Queen Elizabeth ii that makes for stability. Great Britain also has the two party system. Attempts have been made during the Roosevelt and Eisenhower administrations to destroy the two party system. Roosevelt succeeded in establishing splinter groups in various areas using the democratic party As a general catch All. The result was that during his regime tile big City Bosses increased their Power. Eisenhower failed to unify the Republican and democratic parties in his person. Whereas de Gaulle does say a i Ani France a president Eisenhower cannot say Quot i am the United As he developed his address declared by Many As one of the Best baccalaureate addresses they had Ever heard he paid High tribute to his Mother and father.
