More Skill at Foxhunting Than Statesmanship Is Shown John Burns, Deserted oy Labor, May Be Beaten in London. LONDON. Jan. 1. With liie . first pollings of the general election only a fortnight away, the campaign shows less 'popular excitement tha-n the last stages of previous general elections. Betting at Whites .Club, which is the sporting rendezvous for the aris tocracy, is even that the Liberals will have a small majority independent of the Laborites and the Irish members. The Liberals already are conceding th loss of some London constituencies which turned the color of the last election and which will be the first to poll in the coming election. Batter sea is likely to reject John Burns, President of the Local Government Board, because the workingmen say he has deserted them. Peers Furnish Much Fun. The peers on the platform continue to furnish a picturesque element. They were compelled to face the public In order to vindicate the claim of their class to power, and, as a good propor tion of them shine more brilliantly at fox hunting than at statesmanship, their audiences get plenty of fun out of t.hern and frequently howl them down. Since the first tremendous uproar over the rejection of the budget by the House of Lords and the general explosion of oratorical fireworks witlt a remarkable "amount of personal abuse by rival politicians, the contest has settled into a dull bombardment of speeches and newspaper articles deal ing with the House of Lords and tariff reform. Wrangle Over Cost of Living. The newspapers are wrangling fiercely over the question of whether the cost of living is higher and whether more unemployment exists in America, than in Great Britain. A. J. Balfour, Lord Curzon and Lord Mllner are leading the opposition's fight, with Austen Chamberlain putting tariff reform to the front and Lord Charles Beresford accusing the govern ment of neglecting the navy. David Lloyd-George and Winston Churchill, of the administration forces, drew the largest crowds. Lord Curzon's declaration that a hereditary chamber is sure to contain more able men than an elective one has been the most discussed utterance of the week. The list of candidates still is ' far from complete, while factional squab bles between reforms and free traders in the Unionist ranks forces the Radi cals and Laborites in the government forces to leave many opportunities for changes in nominations already made in order to avoid three-cornered fights.
