I know that speaking with parties, which I do, but not very often, is seen by many as a 'contamination.'

I couldn't have attended half the parties that I was supposed to have been to according to the newspapers. It bothers me.

Party honesty is party expediency.

I am sure that the party system is right and necessary. There must be some scum.

This is just not the Democratic Party we used to know.

I'm not a party person.

I only knew a few people, literally a handful of people, al of whom had been in the Party long before I was, all of whom were known by the FBI and were known to the Committee.

I think it no accident that most of those emigrating to America in the 19th century identified with the Democratic Party. We are a heterogeneous party made up of Americans of diverse backgrounds.

I joined the Party definitely in 1923 after having already been in sympathy with it before.
