NEWS AND VIEWS FROM OVER THE SEA London, Dec. 10. When the his tory of the present campaign is writ ten, It will go on record as one of the most sensational election fights Great Hritaln has witnessed. The liberals have completely recovered from the shock caused by Leader Balfour's an nouncement that the unionists would be willing to submit tariff reform to a referendum, and are doing their best to Intensify the dissatisfaction felt by those of Mr. Balfour's party who do not agree with him, In the hope of putting the unionists to ut ter rout. The unionists arc planning on gaining thirty-two seats in' order to reduce the government's coalition majority below fifty. In the last par liament the government has a coali tion lead of 124 votes. Home Secretary Winston Churchill is proving himself tho most untiring ! aker of the campaign on the gov ernment side. He hag no equal, ex cept one allow for th difference In age and strength between him and Sir Edward Grey and complete the .-o.nparlson In that way. Mr. Church ill makes from f ve to six speeches every day, traveling from city to city, without thought of the persona In convenience it causes him or the de mands 'it makes upon his energy and strength. Frequently he answers In tho last speech of the day on address made by a member of the opposition In a city fifty or sixty miles distant, and which has not been given to the press beforehand. In order to get a copy of these speeches, Churchill has his private stenographers copy thom verbatim at the opposition meet ings, then translate them while mak ing the trip between cities In automo biles provided especlaly for the pur pose. There are those who predict the resignation of Premier Asqulth In the event of the government being re turned with a coalition vote of only fifty or sixty. In that cose A. J. Bai four, th4 opposition leader, would presumably be Invited by the king to form a new cabinet. Everything would again be thrown Into the melt ing pot, In such an event, for the only course open to Balfour, who, by the way was prime minister in 1902-6, would be another appeal to the coun try. The whole situation has assum ed something of a comic aspect to out siders, but there Is nothing humorous In the feelings on either side In the great campaign, and Great Britain has never been more deeply aroused, politically.
