total strangers to each other.
In the cuuree• of the journey to Mer-
ritton liuimun was crowded over

\ This caused u i a slight alterca-

TORIES ONLY HOPING
While Liberals Are Expecting
the Best In Elections.
Lloyd -George Makes Merry Over the
German War Scare—Keen Discus-
sion Is Going on Regarding the
Authorship of the Chamberlain Let-
ters --Liberals Think His Name is
Being Used Unscrupulously.
London, Jan. 3 ---The situation in a
nutshell is thus described: The Con-
servatives are hoping for the best and
the Liberals are expecting it.
Sir Charles Dilke says the?1L.lberafs
may lose a few seats in London, which
will have a slight effect in the country,
but that victory is assured.
Lloyd -George, in addressing an en-
thusiastic meeting of 6,000 at Reading
says he found everywhere the same
determination on the part of the peo-
ple to win. Their opponents were con-
stantly quoting colonial opinion and
they said "Hear our kinsman; why
don't you take them by the hand.
They are asking you to pay 2s, for
wheat. Why don't you do that?"
Their colonial brethren had been
watching the budget fight with great
interest and were expressing opinions
very freely • about it. They were
thoroughy ashamed of their .lordship
friends over the way they had de-
clined to pity up like men. He thought
tariff reformers were rather glad their
colonists were kinsmen across the seas
and not in England to take a part in
the election. .
The Chancellor proceeded to chaff
the scarentakers "who mistook the rat-
tling of the milkman'sin the
mornings for the jingle andtrs of
German hussars, In men and mater-
ial we were three to one on the sea
compared to (i 'rntany. Did their op-
ponenttt—thin • ):,.'at imperial souls—
imagine tie 1 t ' (i •rnlan would eat
three Briti-.: r i, they were Frank-
fort sausages.
He then dealt e.;I:1 the provision
made in the budget i,r social reform.
He of all was for the security of capi-
tol, but he wanted security for the
daily bread of sten who never knew
the sting of poverty so closely, and
flung out the humane provision for
the sick, tJte wounded and the unern-

There is one feature of the election
campaign which was resumed with re-
newed vigor after the Christmas holi-
days true to politics, which presents
several curious anomalies, even if it
docs not conceal, as some people
claim, one of the most astounding
deceptions ever practiced in. Englisn
history. -
Joseph Chamberlain is a candidate
for the West Birmingham •seat with
which lie was connected over twenty
years and will be returned unopposed.
Much of the support which the "fair
trade" doctrine is receiving in Eng-
land is due to the personality of
Chamberlain. All the world remem-
bers the blow which was struck athim
a few years ago and which, it was gene
erally supposed would forever preclude
his return to active political life.
He .}las never since appeared in
public, and it is admitted even by his
supporters that, on his being returned
to Parliament at the corning election,
he will be unable to take his seat at
Westminster.
This week he issued an address' •to
the electors of West Birmingham
which was featured by the Unionist•
press as the most important, pronoun.
ntent, in the campaign, nor is this the
limit of his activities. From his re-
treat at Highbury there have been
apr•'at.l broadcast letters and messages
which • denote a surprising recrudes--
eenca of energy on the part of a man
who physical powers had been believ-
ed to be irretrievably impaired.
lay his friends it is declared his
mental powers are los vigorous as in
the days before his paralytic seizure.
It i, even, declared he, although ad-
mittedly a cripple, suffers only from
gout and shows no trace of the other
and more serious ailment.
On the other hand, strange a';tories
are current suggesting that Chamber-
lain's nt.me has been used without his
assent, but in a way for which the
entire responsibility cannot legitimate-
ly be assigned to him. Attention has
been directed to the curious similarity
in the language of- one letter which
appeared in one Unionist organ above
the signature Joseph Chamberlain and
another published in a different paper
loer the signature of Austen Chamber -
It is stated to ix: a curious circum-
stance that all those who have had an
spoon. etity of personally visiting Jos.
Chamberlain speak of his keen inter-
est in the progress of the campaign,
but are vague and evasive in the de-
tails they give.
