But those of you who aspire to, or who obtain without special effort on your part, political station, are likely to find yourself exposed to temptation which will test your virtue of what sort it is. In order to secure your election you will find yourself urged by some of your friends who have had more experience than you to adopt measures at which your conscience or your sense of propriety and decency revolts. Once elected, you will find yourself besieged by designing men to favor legislation ...which on its face appears innocent, but which really opens the way for them to accomplish nefarious ends. You may soon learn what is the tyranny of party, if on good scruples you hesitate to follow its bidding on any measure. You will soon be taught that if you ex- pect any of the beneficent acts which you have proposed to be adopted you must be prepared to vote for certain measures desired by other men which you do not ap- prove. You will be asked to put your conscience or your judgment into the market for a trade.
