	Print Article: So monstrous a travesty
		When Watson's ministry gathered for the swearing-in ceremony, their sartorial modesty symbolised the dawn of government by the common man. They ``attended in their ordinary attire'', a reporter for The Age marvelled, ``office has not transformed the sac suits of the Labor ministers into frock coats, or `plug hats' into belltoppers''.
		The "three elevens", as Alfred Deakin dubbed the triangular party system, comprising Labor, Deakin's Protectionists and George Reid's Free Traders, were not only designing the policy framework for a new nation, but devising the rules of political engagement with each other.
		However, when Watson was invited to form a ministry in April, 1904, the party lacked a precedent for conducting itself in government.

	Alfred Deakin
		Alfred Deakin was so idealistic that when he was first elected to the Victorian Parliament, he resigned immediately because he believed that administrative bungling of the poll had given him an unfair advantage.
		Deakin's youthful idealism reflected his wide reading of romantic 19th-century literature, which dwelt on the days when knighthood was in flower.
		Deakin's Factories Act became a model for all the colonies and probably aroused the enthusiasm of his new wife 'Pattie' Browne, whom he married against her wealthy father's opposition.
