Six months ago liberals predicted an . ;
enornfou landslide, which would leave-,
their, party with a clear majority over
all sections of th house of commons.'.
Many prominent liberals ara depending
oa a majority of 10 over , the conserva

expect the llberala to Just balanoe the
conservatives. These calculatlona reckon -
the labor . members, . of whom ' ther -would

ault would place Mr. Redmond and home .
rule In tha forefront of British politics, .
In which caae the Campbell-Bannerman '

retirement of oertaln member ot th -Imperialist

It Is essential that there should be a .
