5* "Big Business and Government," Chap. 28, 1912. 304 AMERICAN POLITICAL IDEAS Well, they pay the bill." Senator Root said, " Good men, good citizens, honest law-abiding men, justified themselves in the directorates of these railroads and other public service corporations in spending the money of the corporations to elect Senators and Assemblymen who would protect them against strike bills." *^ More cynical than any of these apologies was the fa- mous dictum of Senator Ingalls: "The purificatio...n of politics is an iridescent dream. Government is force. Politics is a battle for supremacy. Parties are the arm- ies. The decalogue and the golden rule have no place in a political campaign. . . . The commander who lost a battle through the activity of his moral nature would be the derision and jest of history. This modern cant about the corruption of politics is fatiguing in the ex- treme." The development of political thought regarding the political party as an agency of democratic government may be summarized briefly in this way.
