 The senator said that politics pre- sented a great field for the university man who wished to benefit his fellows, but he laid particular stress on the danger of accepting an official position
 before the college graduate has master ed his profession. The senator cited many examples of the deadening inffu- ence that office holding in a government bureau has on a man who accepts such a position before he has independently worked for himself On the whole, Senator Depew's speech covered much the same ground as that of District At
 torney William Trayers Jerome, who
 spoke to the university men a few
 weeks ago. The senator, however, al-
 though giving the practical side of poll
 itics it's full weight seemed to outline
 a course of conduct involving greater
 adherence to the ideal. Proceeding MT
 Depew said:
 Now, I know that you say, How
 about the party boss; where does he
 come in, how is he created. and how
 can he he eliminated?" As l have
 said before, popular government can
 not exist without parties and parties cannot exist without organization. The party is great, free army. At its head is the national committee. TO this committee is entrusted the presl- dential campaign and the maintenance of an organization between one cleo ton and aother. Then comes the state committee in each commonwealth. Sub- ordinate to the state committee and acting under it's instructions are the county committees; subordinate to the
 county committee and acting under its instructions are the district and waro committees in the cities, the town com- mittees in the country.

ACCEPTS INVITATION OF YALE LAY SCHOOL POLITICAL CLUE.

 duction b. Alexander Cumming.
 Senator Chauheey M Depew of New York addressed 15O2. Yale men at Hen drie hall last night op the subject of aPolitics.' The senator had accepted the invitation of the Yale Law School Political club, an organization that. is rapidly making place for itself in university life by it's active partfcipa- tion in vital matters. So much inter est was evidenced in the coming of Senator Depew that the political club was obliged to confine admission to members of the university only. As it was. the audience was entirely repre- sentative of Yale.
 On his talk on politics, the senator confined himself almost entirely to that aspect of politics in which the oppor- tunities of young men to make their way in it might appear. His references to the practical side of politics as con- trasted with the theoretical aspect were such as to be helpful and much appre ciated. At the close of the speech, a Yale cheer was given the senator.
 AlHXd0QeT CuIIlHlluSs 4. Nl, LII. D., the president of the Yale Law School Political club, in introducing the speak, CT of the evening, said:
 "The Yale Law School Political club and it's friends are most fortunate this evening in having the opportunity of hearing something of the actual work ings of practical politics from one of the ablest and most distinguished lead- CTS in public life; a typical Yale man, and one, than whom, there is alo greater friend of Yale university. l take great pleasure in saying that Senator Depew will address us upon the subject Pol itics.''
 The senator philosophical bit at the commencement of his speech and said:
 You have been studying political economy and the science of government. In a few weeks you graduate from this university and enter upon the practical duties O. life. You will find during the whole of your careers a wonderful difference between theory and practice.
