PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS.
SPEECH BY LORD DUDLEY
London, October 21
Lord,Dudley, speaking at Worcester, said it waS dangerous for the country if tho House of Commons possessed professional politicians. There was some likelihood of this unless the electors were careful. Tho people of tho colonies wove more, engaged in money-making than in .England/ hence Australians made a greater number of professional politicians, which was hardly-good for the Commonwealth. While England might follow the energetic colonies in many things, he hoped it would never do so hi this respect. Some very democratic States had a body of politicians existing solely on their Parliamentary stipends. The Westminster Gazette says that if Lord Dudley had given utterance to such opinions in Australia his governorship would have boon brief.
