. 688 Aspirants for Office, but
;1 Oily 17 Are Certain of Elec
tlon Life Job of Speaker.
. ' 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.
The labor leaders, Arthur Henderson

One Gets 25 Year Sentence
After, Victim. Describes How
He Was Attacked. ' .
Aggregate terms of 73 years in. the
penitentiary have been Imposed upon
four prisoners oy Circuit Judge Bro
naugh In two days, and all for the crime
of highway robbery. The eeverest puni
Ishment of any came to William Mitch
ell yesterday afternoon when he waa or
dered to the Salem prison fqr 25 yeara.
Charles Whitynlng, Fred Mattson and
Earl McCroskey, who held up Oeorge
Estes, were sentenced to M. 18 and 10
yeara each.
Mitchell's crime waa the holding up of
Vlncenio Buono on the night of De
cember 16 at Front and Clay streets.
Buono grappled with him, and four or
five shots were fired by each man dur
ing the struggle. Buono escaped Injury,
but Mitchell was badly wounded, and
for a time It was thought he might die.
Buono, the little Italian saloonkeeper,
who played the part of victim and cap
tor, Is blind in one eye and underalxed.
He was asked to tell the court how he
shot Mitchell, and with a great variety
of gestures he Illustrated the sffalr.
Buono grappled Seneca routs, who stood
beside him, to Illustrate how he held
the highwayman, and dramatically acted
out the holdup from beginning to end,
while. Judge, spectators and prisoner
looked on with Intense Interest
When Buono had finished Judge Bro-
naugh asked Mitchell If the holdup had
been properly described. The holdup
man said that It had, unless as to the
number of shots he fired at Buono. He
did not know whether he fired four or
five, he said. ,
"It appears to me that the only differ
ence between this crime and murder is
that In this case human life was not
taken," said Judge Bronaugh.
Mitchell gave no sign of agitation
when the 26 year sentence was passed
upon him.
