A paper on "Municipal Political Parties'' by Milo R. Maltbte of New York city, was read by the secretary. He said In part: •The adoption by the national parlies of municipal programmes—tlu- announcement of their position# upon municipal questions —l*.

Th. voter is tax to content to vole the same ticket tn municipal a* tn national elections. He Insists upon knowing what the party * position Is upon local ques tions "What Is wanted Is not so much the In dependent party as ihe Independent man; the man who has high Ideals and yet an accurate estimate of how rapidly progress can be made; the man who will abandon any party the moment It ceases to repre sent his Ideas; the man who applauds vir tue, horieaty and efficiency wherever he rtnrts them The larger the proportion of such men, the more nearly perfect demo cratic governments will grow; the smaller the proportion the less will principles he considered, Ihe more sluggish and Irre sponsible wdll parties become and the more frequently will they full to express the popular will.” ('•tier on INiiltlr*.
