their  widespread  and  strong  connection  with  people  in  all
          areas; canvassers  have been  formed;  in  each  area there are
          those standing in for the politicians, the ones who help render
          very  powerful  and  sincere  networks,  and  thus  establish  a
          fairly foothold. In  view of campaigning for votes, they employ
          about the same method: making a regular visit to the people
          in  each  locality.  This  is  done  not  only  during  the  time  of
          campaign for votes. Working that hard, together with  its tak-
          ing  part  in  any  activities  hold  in  the  areas  religious  rites  of
          passage  or festivals  organized  according  to  various. occa-
          sional  customs and traditions, for example it  pays off. How-
          ever participation is considered only one of canvassing ways.
          When  opportunities allow, the  party organizes  a formal  ad-
          dress to the public in  the town of Surat Thani.  With  all  these
          activities and performances, the residents of Surat Thani in all
          ages  felt  tied  up  with  the  Democrat  Party.  Any  politicians
          moving  out  of  the  Democrat  Party  would  not  be  elected;
          however, when he or she moves back, then he or she will  be
          re-elected. It, therefore, can be safely concluded that the people
          of Surat Thani have both trust and confidence on the Demo-
          crat Party.
               The attachment the residents of Surat Thani  have had
          for  the  politicians  come  more  through  the  party  than  that
          from  the  politicians. No  wonder. in  almost  all  national  elec-
          tions and  in  all  ages, the only  party winning  the Surat Thani
          people's heart has been the Democrat Party.
