' V (United Frm Wlf. london, Jan., 4.; -With the beginning J of' the new year, the English political ':. campaign has: burst 'forth - anew, and a torrent of apeechmaklng la pouring forth upon the country. . . ' 1 Out of the 688 aaplranta,- either al , ready nominated or yet to be chossn, i. for aeata In the next parliament, there , are a few who are not worrying about their chances. They will not be opposed V n their respective constituencies. 1 'The absolute certainties are 17" in ' number. Of these nine are Irish Na- tlonallsta and seven Irish Ctoserva ' tlvss. The seventeenth Is speaker, the 'Right Honorable James Lowther of the. tv house of oommona and of the const!' tuency of Penrith. Th speaker, ao v- cording to Immemonta! . custom, being chosen for life and consequently re- ; elected ' and reelected to 'parliament without, opposition. - , , ? ; , ' V.' paatair.to oa-artIaaa. A ' Lowther originally waa a Conserva tive, , but the theory ta that, upon elec tion to the speakership, the member ao honored, becomes atrlctly non-partisan. He also loses bis vote, except .In .case of ties. , Thla means that his con- ., tl (uency. practically , la disfranchised, i but itba speakership usually Is honor enough without the actual ballot In the house. ( .' , Several other members, while they will' have to fight for their places, are ; as certain of reelection as they , can be certain of anything In politics. ' Premier Asqulth assuredly will win ' In his old-district of East Fife. Chan-, cellor of the Exchequer David Lloydj George cannot lose Carnarvon, and War Minister Haldane and Foreign Secre i tary Grey are safe In Haddington and , Berwick, respectively."' , Barns and Buxton la Sanger. In fact, the only members of the 'cabinet who are In the least danger are John Burns, president of the local government board, and Postmaster Gen eral , Buxton, .respectively; of the Lon don , wards of Hattersea and-, Poplar. On aocount of the notorious uncertainty of London constituencies, these two will have to fight hard. 1 1 Moat of the prominent Conservatives also are confident of reelection. Arthur J. Balfour, the Conservative leader, and Sir Frederick Banbury, the most cun ning obstructionist In parliament, are absolutely certain Of success. They are the two representatives from the city of London, a patch one mile square in, the heart of the " greater metropolis. It is the center of the financial district and, unlike the erratlo outer London wards, is always, 'Conservative by 10, 000 or Jl.000 majority.-- '- , , Joseph Chamberlain will dictate the seven Birmingham seats as usual He will , have a. contest, -however. The Liberals made the mistake in 1900 .of leaving him unopposed, .a a result of which ha stumped the country at large, doing Incalculable damage ' to Liberal candidates In weak constituencies. This time he will have to remain at home to fight hla own campaign. The election of Joseph Chamberlain himself is largely a matter of compli ment, as he haa been too feeble .to at tend parliament for two years, and prob ably never will te seen at Westminster again. ...Although he was howled, down at a recent meeting In his own consti tuency of East Worcestershire. Joseph Chamberlain's son, Austenl undoubt edly aura, at leaat in hi father's opin ion, of reelection. . Otherwise, It is cer-, tain the older man would see that ha was taken car of in Birmingham.
