“In our form of government, anybody can aspire to be elected. But does just anybody get votes? No, Commissioner, he doesn’t get any votes unless he’s got a crowd of people who are all bound together in some way. That’s what a political party is—a group of people who stand by each other. They get a candidate. They promote him. Gradually a policy works itself out. If you don’t have a two-party system, you’ll have the kind of bedlam they have in France.”
