ABSTRACT
The propagandist efforts displayed by the party Organizations are far from reaching the whole, or even the majority, of the electorate. It is not certain that the effect produced even on those who are drawn into them is of a permanent nature. In places where there is an Association,-and this is in the vast majority of cases,-the club exists side by side with it, at one time with an absolutely independent position, at another as its social branch, the executive committee of the Caucus being the managing committee of the club and the secretary of the Association obligingly discharging the functions of manager of the club. All over the country, even in the villages, there are now political working-men's clubs. In the large towns there are dozens of them. The clubs, which are the "social" counterpart of the Associations, serve, like them, as a permanent organization for receiving and keeping the adherents of the parties.
