An interesting article on Unionist organisation appears in the Times

of Monday. The writer, the Times Parliamentary Correspondent, lays chief stress on organising the con- stituencies on the democratic basis adopted in the Liverpool area, where the Working Men's Association is affiliated to the Constitutional Association, works in harmony with it, and has representatives on all the committees of the Con- stitutional Association throughout the city. The Working Men's Association is largely self-supporting, and its activity is continuous. The principle to be aimed at is to give working men power and influence in the Conservative organisation, and the writer suggests that Alderman Salvidge, the chairman and guiding spirit of the Liverpool Working Men's Association, should be empowered to form a similar association for the whole of the North of England.
