Taft s Party Affair. Secretary Taft, In an address at a ban quet given by the progressive party last night, spoke of the history of the party division and declared that their existence wa a necessary part of the change In the .Philippines. . "The only ' method of conducting popular government," he said, "Is by political parties. The federal party at tbe time of it organisation was in no sense political. When It existed It wa the only party organised to convince the people to accept the promise of the Ameri can. It worked bravely and faithfully to this end and to such an extent that much of the success of the early government of tbe island waa In no small measure due to the federalist. They sought peace and taught the people to seek peace. "After the firm establishment of the government had been accomplished, a change wa natural. In election for mem ber of the assembly it wa natural for the- people to divide. Knowing and be lieving that both the nationalist and pro gressive parties have the Interests of the government at heart, the . question of which shall control is settled only by an election. "The first principle of party politics necessary to learn Is that defeat must not cause discouragement. The first lesson In self-government that voter have to learn ' - to be good losers, and when that 1 learned, to be good winners, because self Tovernment Imposes restraint on both side. "The minority must not strive to atrike down the work of their opponents because they are not in control and the majority -nust so conduct .affairs as to show that the eople have part in the government. Nothing has given greater pleasure or more onfldenee in the success of what we are lolng -than the action of the assembly. All matter up to date have been treated 'n conservative manner by both the Yilnority and the majority. All I ask Is hat the minority, while pointing out the "aults of the majority,' may -always conduct tself with pride, so a to, show the assem bly is a success." The secretary referred to mistakes of the ?uhan government, due to lack of interest n public affairs on the part of the leglsla 'or of that Islu&d. and declared that the Philippines ' aasemby showed a difference in this respect.'
