They want a 'fair deal' for themselves and the other fellow. These ideas must be kept as living goals before the group. When this happens crooked politics is doomed. This is why so many of the crooked politicians do everything they can to keep people from getting together. It is their specialty to divide group from group along religious lines, or nationally background lines. Their political prescription is: Get the Catholics to vote against what the Protestants wants . ... or in Utah get the Mormoms to vote, etc. Keep them divided, confused, angry. This is the type of action which sours many would-b- e political workers. The answer to this kind of politics is political action in support of broad democratic objectives. All parties have an interest in building and preserving of American unity. Politicians who divide citizens into groups and play them against each other for their own advantage are undermining .democracy and preparing the way for its breakdown. Such men should be fought both inside and outside of the parties to which they belong. They can be fought most effectively by the individual getting in and wprking for clean political action.
