If the Democratic candidates for Con- | gress cannot agree upon a program before the election they are not likely to agree upon a bill afterwards. The influence of the special interests is so great that it is absolutely necessary to pledge congressmen in advance in order that they may be fortified against the pressure which the pro- tected interests bring to bear against the legislators.
