LONDON, Jan. 17. That 115,000,

a conservative victory In the parlia
mentary election's now taking place
was tho grave allegation made today
by members of the liberal party.
It was further declared that this
fund had been collected from widely
different sources, Including organiza
tions that would bo benefited by a
protective tariff.
The liberals aro up In arms over
tho reported discovery of fraudulent
methods of vote-getting. They declare
that wholesale corruption of TOters
Is going on.
Seven Irish nationalists, including
John Redmond, were nominated to
day without opposition and declared

Big Fight Todar.
With the knowledge that today's
voting in 15 London constituencies
and 4 prOorlnclal constituencies en
titled to a total representation of 104
members would decide beyond all
doubt the control of the next parlia
ment, the conservatives and the lib
erals resumed their campaigning to
day tbet moment the polls were open
ed. Present Indications are that the
liberals will wla a majority of the
representatives, while tho. conserva
tives will poll a majority of the pop
ular vote. This peculiar division is
easily possible because of the exist
ing English system of constituencies.
Calculating the results of the elec
tion to date, It wa9 estimated today
that the conservatives will have to
Cain 135 Beats to be assured of n
majority in the next parliament. Even
though they realized this increase
their majority would be but one mem
ber.
A recapitulation of the balloting
nnd results of last Friday and Sat
urday Indicates to those who are con
vorsnnt with the situation that tho
losses sustained by bo liberals were
caused in a great degree by tho anti
house of lords plank of their plat
form.
In tho 74 constituencies voting last
Saturday tho liberals lost 15 seats,
Including two seats lost by their al
lies, tho laborltes.
If this percentage is maintained the
liberals will havo but 284 parliamen
tary seats In a total of 670. By tho
same cstlmnto, the corresponding
gain of tho conservatives would give

"I shall not try, however," he

The real reason why the elections
hero are hold "Tally for two weeks In

majesty of tho law has to be presont
even if only a dozen votes are polled

is an ancient ono and because tho
