John Dewey: “There are those who speak as if ability to choose between two tickets were a high exercise of individual freedom.”

But this conclusion is an obvious invitation to trial of forces to see where superior force lies.

There are even those who hold that the presumption is always that social loss will result from agents of the public doing anything which could be done by persons in their private capacity.

In other words, every officer of the public, whether he represents it as a voter or as a stated official, has a dual capacity.

Freedom presented itself as an end in itself, though it signified in fact liberation from oppression and tradition.
