Prospects of Privileged Classes Los

for Peoples Representatives

Dublin JAN 1S.-The result of the city
elections >on Monday under the new Irish
local government act are chiefly notewor
thy for the success of the labor party. OF
sixty representatives in Dublin, fifteen of
the candidates of the labor party were
elected. In Limerick, twenty four of the
forty representatives elected belong to the
labor party. John Daily. who was recent
ly released from prison, where he was
serving a sentence for treason and felony,
heads the poll. He will be proposed for
the mayoraity.
The more important elections under the
new act. those in the counties, will take
place in March.
The Irish local government act revolu-
tionizes the local government of the coun-
try. Appeals which have been made to
the people to sink political differences and
to return as their representatives men,
bers of the classes which have hitherto
monopolized the Offices, have had little eff
feet.
Throughout the country every town and
county council, and poor law boards will
be used as an engine to promote home
rule and the various measures which the
majority Of the people desire.
The change in system means the taking
away from the hitherto privileged classes
land the handing over to the representa-
tiyes Of the masses of a vast amount of
patronage.
Offices which were hitherto beyond the
reach of Catholics and Nationalsts. will
now be thrown open to them. and il will
