POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE
By Cable.—Press Association.--Copyright London, February 10. Lord Rosebery, when presiding at a dinner in honor of Mr. Harold Cox's political independence, made a witty speech on the party system. Each party, he said, pooled its conscience, and anyone declining to submit to the party was expelled as grit was expelled for hindering an oily working machine. The silent voters' whom Mr. Cox represented, were ineffectually represented in Parliament because they were unorganised and indolent Lord Rosebery concluded that the Free Trade and Tariff Reform issue should be entrusted to a Royal Commission.
