SNUB Mr.. CHURCHILL
Premier and Supporters With.
draw When He Speaks.

LONDON, March 29.-The usual mo-
ton providing for the adjournment OF
the house of commons over the Easter
holidays gave the Liberal leader an OPP
portunity to make a spirited attack on
the government. He caustically criti-
cised in detail the whole policy of the
ministry, which, he declared, except In
the matter of Chinese labor, was mark
ed by "indecision, confusion and vacil-.
lation, tortuous course and misty
atmosphere" Sir Henry added that he
did not think it was in accordance with
the spirit of the constitution that
Premier Balfour should retain power
when the country had shown at every
opportunity afforded 1t that he no
longer enjoyed It's favor.
Mr.. Balfour, replying, said he noted
the anxiety of the Liberal leader that
he should resign, but he was quite un-
able to see why the government should
take the unprecedented course Of re-
signing office while it retained the con-
f1dence Of the house. Sir Henry could
settle the question of the governments
resignation or not by vote of censure
Mr.. Balfour concluded with declaring
CndC the SOVefuIIleuI . LSCdl poiiSy WoS
that of real, progressive free trade.
When Winston Spencer Churchill
Conservative rose and pressed Mr..
Balfour for further explanation of
the governments fiscal policy, saying
the vacillation Of the government had
caused him to become one OF its oppo-
nents instead of one Of its supporters.
the premier and all the Unionists ex-
cept ten trooped out of the house. The
incident led to protests on the part of
other members against the discourtesy
shown to Mr.. Churchill.
The house adjourned until April IL.
Mr.. Balfour says that the budget prob
ably will be introduced April 10. 6
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. says that
while he does not anticipate an early

Money LavishIy in a Judi.

Special to The Globe.
MADISON, Wis, March 29.-Never be-
fore in the history of wisconsin has there
been spent in a judicial election so
much money as in the present contest be-
tween the two Republican factions, the
stalwarts and the administration people,
over the election of supreme court JUS
tice L. K Luce, Of Superior, is the
stalfart candidate, and James G. KeT-
win, of Neenah, is the administra-
TONS choice. Both are backed by large
followings of Democrats, but the i'm
preston seems to prevail that the SUI
perior man will draw the more Demo
cratic votes of the two and will be elect
ed.
1t has been the boast of Wisconsin that
the judiciary has been kept free from
politics, but that departure has been
made in the supreme court contest is no
longer denied. Active and expensive lit
erary bureaus are maintained by the
friends of each candidate. Much of the
literature for Mr.. Kerwin is being sent
out. 1t is understood, from the literary
campaign bureau of Gov. La Toilette in
the capitol here. On this score the gov
ernor has been severely criticised.
