Col. parkhurst
II was an unexpected pleasure to
haye present at the meeting Col
Parkharst and he was called upon to
say few words. He spoke briefly on
the subject OF parties.
The word Itself has come to carry
a little of ,reproach. he said. and it
might well be dropped, leaving only
the fundamental differences Of honest
opinion that may exist regarding every
question. Groups Of people get to-
gethsr. representing the two sides of
the argument and come to be known
as political parties, He declared it
entirely wholesome in our political
life that these divisions have exist
ed. regarding. principles, not men. and
stated his belief that as long as they
continue to exist the country 10 safe.
When they are dropped tho country
runs into danger Of political extinction.
He deplored mugwumbism and de-
clared that only by group action can
We set good government. Principles
and the divisions that come from prin-
ciplss should be the criterion for Sc
lection Of our allegiance, he said.
He made the assertion that there
should be no, closed time for polit-
tcal activity, especially in these pres
ent times The inevitable law of re-
action will swing the pndsulum back,
he said. and called all those who be-
lieve in Republican principles to en-
deavor5 to make them effective in ev-
ery-day life for the coming years

taken by leagues. each organization
having one vote. If they can not
agree. the two presidents then will APP
pear before Judge lands and his de-
cision will be final.
This arrangement is a compromise
between plans suggested by the two
sides The IL clubs wanted the vote
to be entirely by clubs. while the
johnson faction held out for vote by
leagues. The two plans were COM
bined.

bring the minor leagues into the plan.

American League. will confer with a
committee of six from the minor
leagues. II the minors come in. they

The club owners may decide later to
appoint two civilian associates to act

to the club owners, that Judge Charles
A. Mcdonald Of Chicago will be one
or them, although no vote was taken
today.
Judge Mcdonald Indirectly brought
on the baseball war. for he started the
baseball scandal investigation which
brought about the proposaIc for ,n
