HENRY RICHARDS
BEFORE THE EQUAL
SUFFRAGE LEAGUE

Henry Richards gave a most inter-
esting talk on the subject of Party
Tuesday evening to the members ana
friends of the Equal Suffrage League
He said that though volumes begin
ming with Aristotle had been written
on the principles and operations of
the division of people into parties. the
question was still little understood
Various reasons are assigned by these
writer's for party divisions, one of the
most common being different degrees
of wealth. and much has been written
of the classes and the masses MI
Richards gave four conditions gov
erning persons choice OF pontlcal
uorty: first, his habit of mind, as
conservative or radical: second. asso-
citation with his family and TRENDS
third self-interest: fourth. DEFINITE
policy or ideal. The relation or party
opposition to the accompaniment U
best results in government is SHOWN
Nv the fact that in time OF eHier-
oency. or in crisis, as in the pres
ont war. the cry always is, Drop
MARTY lines let there he only one
marty now" In England with the peo-
nle united in one party more reforms
have been effected in the last two
wears than would ordinarily have been
brought about in two decades.
Mr.. Richards also gave lucid re-
view of the merits of compulsory MIL
itarv service in preference to Volun-
tarv service. He showed that univer-
sal military service. when combined
with democracy, can not possibly lead
70 militarism. as so many fear.
