Mr. Henry Oeorge |o i r> aloud In Ihe deaert no

Mr. Henry Oeorge'a rhetortcal exuberance. il
h.is on th.. other hand bobm turn for practlea]
?olltka whlcb may or may not prokmg his noto?

jr r nf aefeal al ih- nexl electlon.
The Independenl Labor Party. ao far as it hai
any politi.nl exlatence, is underatood to bc the
r itl ,11 of Mr. Keir Hardie. Perhaps he ar I Mi
Ter. Mann are entltled to divi.i-- that honoi be?
tween them. There may be others. less known to
fame. It is not y-t very numeroua or very
p. w-i'ful, but it has played B part in al leaal
three elections: Mid-I.anark. the Attercllffe dl
VUUon "f Sheffleld. and Leiceeter. Its creat. r dlB
playi the naaal pareatal ahTectlon foi hla off
aprlng, and enlarces npon the organlxatlon and
gtrength and proapecta <>f his llttle cllqae, per
hapa at Rreater letiRth than the public cares for,
-\Ve may sklp raoal of that. I ani dlapoaed to
thlnk tli.it if anybody could once convlnce the
Eagllah worhingman that his claaa IntereatB
would be promoted by caatlng In his lot with tha
ludependents. the wrorkingman would do Bo. In
that (a*? some Btrong. or relatlvely Btrong man
would come to the 1'ront. and Mr. Keir Hardie
would Ro to the rear. But that i- in the dlm
fature,
What is intereatlng n-.w la the dlacloaure flrsl
of the nttltude and aecondly of the programme
<,f the Independenta Th<- nttltade la of moBl
practtcal algnlflcnnce. The article r..ks with
hatred of the Uberata, nnd it is clear enough
that if the preaenl member for Bouth Weal Ham
ean carry his aquadfl aith him Ihey alll vote
nnii-I.lberal at the nexl electlon. now probably
very near. "For the preaent." says Mr. Hardie,
-the party is atrongly nntl-Llbernl in feellng.
This is nol due to nny aympathy wltb Torylam,
bul to aanfual at Ihe way in whi.h the Llberal
party has br.ken falth with Its aupp >rti ra." ln
gtancea of ihe broken faith are n..t glven. There
is to be a Natlonal c.nference before the _? rn
*rai electlon, in order t.> nacare unlformlty of
actlon all over the country. Whal the Cnn
ference wlll (1" b* utdlcated in'the foUouriag
rather portentoua parugrapb:
"Elther the whole of Ihe Independenl Labor
party vota arlll l.ast for oae or other of the
orthodos <) partlea, or tha whole party arlll ab
[stain from votlag ln all eoaatltuenclefl whera
there is no Independenl Labor Party or Boclal
Democratlc F>deratlon candldate, and, judging
from what I know of the present temper of the
membera, my oplnlon la that. at th.- gpproachlng
general electlon. th.- vote aill be wlthheld."
This ra'ses the ejuaataOn h'.w larj,'.- the vote is
whlch is t.. i.e wlthheld and what tbe effecl of
the abetentka* is llkely I i be on the general i -
Bult. Mr. Hardie gOM int'> aoBM rath- r "lal. rate
calcuiati.-i s baeed upon Ogarea whi.h have no
guthority. n has t,. be aald that his mi n
B.rtlon 1* not BufBcient i >vldence. He bl n il well
Informed. and his s,atements in time past have
often been very recklaaa; as. for InaUnce, hla re
eae! daclaratlOB that more than a million of men
wlthla a llmited area were oul of employment,
If H were true, as Mr Hardie aaaerta, tbal his
party rontroli al leaal 9 per cent of th.- total
votlag power In Ihe e*atrea of laduatry, h< or
they m!Kht probably hold the fate of th- Mln
Istry In thelr haads ln whlch cnae L rd R ?
hary would probably be ealled upon lo make an?
other BijeecB, aad Ihe place of the Labor quea
tion ln the Mlnistdial programme would have
,,. be altered. Baya Mr, Hardie, In his confideat,
cocksare way:
Bighteen araU are hold by BUprjortera of the
Llberal Oovernmeni by majorltlea of leaa than
i<?i v itea Thitty-flve Beata are almllarly held ny
majoritlea over 108 bul under 850 votea.
Now if .n theae conatltuenclea, th- Inaepenueni
Labor Partv vote was withh.id- I, .?. If tbeimem
bera of Ibe Indep.-nd.nt Labor Party dld not
vote for elther candldate the present membera
WOUld be def-lted. If it V/.-re ,1. cld.-l tO -,.St tl.e
Independenl Labor Party vote exclualvely for
Tory eandldatea, more than one-half of the prea
ent Llberal membera wouM ba defeated through
out lha c.untry.
That is pretty tall talk f..r a leader whoae foi
lowerg by his own computation do not excecd
50f-0o The t?t?l electorate of ?reat Hritaln is
about ?lx milllons. The strenK'.h of the Inde
pendentfl. such as II K la concentrated ln Lan
cashire. Cl cshlre. Yorkshlre. Scotland. and Lon?
don Mr Hardie/s eoBteattoa is that with leaa
than one per cent of Ibe whole numb-r of votera,
r,:i pronpci about a faw Induatrlal caatraa, he ean
put a Llberal or r,,ns.-rvative Minlstry into powi r
at hls wiu. Th. abaatattty of this la obvloui
enough. There are aaatt, no doubt. whlch the
Independenta may carry. or may glve to elther
Llberal or C.-nservatlve. ?ven ??'? assumes that
Mr. Hardie? statement of the numbcrs <if hls
own cnrolled followers is ac.-urate Morcver. he
contendn that the Labor vote cm.es in nearly
equal proportlon from .-a.-h political party; a C )B
tentlon of whlch he probably doeB nol BM thg
force. I have not heard that the whipfl or party
manaRera nn elther Baia are graatly dlfturbed bl
Mr. K. !r Hardie'- vaticlnatlons.
These are daya. however, when each VOte nnd
