“A party should not contain utterly incongruous elements, radically divided on the real issues, and acting together only on false and dead issues insincerely painted as real and vital. It should not in the several States as well as in the Nation be prostituted to the service of the baser type of political boss. It should be so composed that there should be a reasonable agreement in the actions taken by it both in the Nation and in the several States. Judged by these standards, both of the old parties break down.” ShouldWellsRealStatesActionTogetherPoliticalNationsPartyActingBreakIssuesTakenTypeElementsStandardsReasonableAgreementBossDividedJudgedBreaking DownActing Together Author:Theodore Roosevelt
