weeks and has made no complaints at

moved sooner or later and has decided
TO undertake this step beginning this

SELLS PEERAGES
FOR CAMPAIGN
HOW ENGLISH POLITICIANS
REPLENISH TREASURES
Many Unknowns Win Titles by Con-
tributing Generous Sums to the
Carlton Club, Thus Evad-
ing the Law
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON. Dec. 2S.-When English
political parties want to replenish their
campaign funds they give peerages and
decorations to a select few of their
millionaire supporters. Common re-
port in political circles has it that Bal
four's campaign fund is richer by more
than $2,OOOOOO as a consequence of the
recent ''honors" list.
Baron Lea Sterne. who is absolutely
unknown to the public. and never oc-
cupied any public position or per-
formed any public service, paid, it is
said, $50O,OOO to the Unionist fund for
his baronetcy a couple of years ago.
Now he has contributed 81, 500, 900 more
for a peerage. The money is contrib
uted to what is known as the Carlton
club. Thus Unionists can face a gen.
eral election with a full purse. OF
course the peerage and decorations
conferred upon eX-ministers and dis
tinguished officials are given gratis
Precisely the same system is follow
ed by the Liberals. Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman, the new premier, al
ready has recommended several Lib
eral millionaires for peerages-Sir
Christopher Furness, Sir James Joicey,
Sir James Kitson and Sir Weatman
and their gratitude will take the
form of colossal contributions to the
Liberal campaign fund.
Election Costs 100000
A general election costs. in expenses
officially returned, about $4,000,0OO, but
the actual outlay of candidates in nurs.
ing a constituency for months or years
beforehand, subscribing to charities
and all manner of local funds, amounts
to eight or ten times that sum. The
late Sir Blundell Maple the furniture
millionaire, spent $4,000 yearly on his
constituency at Duwich.
There is a fixed limit to election ex-
penses, proportionate to the size of the
electorate, but this only operates dur
ing the actual contest and is easily
evaded anyway Some constituencies
cost more than others, but once an
open-handed millionaire gets hold of a
seat, no less wealthy d man can hope
to win it from him. Rank also tells
with constituency and a lord who
makes the personal acquaintance of
as many Of his constituents as possible
occupies strong position. Long John
Cecil, brother of the marquis of Exitor,
now contesting a London seat, says he
has personally canvassed the occupants
OF $1,000 houses, spending ninety full
days in this task

Season of Gayety Promised

1t appears as if Christmas week this
year will be time of unusual gayety
in country houses. even the approach
of the general election not being al
lowed to interfere with arrangements
for Christmas week.

tomobile masked parties will be a

Much fun is promised at country house

More elaborate bal masque guests
will Disguise their identity by wearing
automobile coats over ordinary even
ing dress and a formidable pair OF gog-
giles will cover the upper portion of the

removed and an hour later the guests
will leave in their automobiles.

for the leaves will be frosted and sill
vered. and the branches hung with
glistening trinkets. Chains OF colored
stones and beads will be hung in fes-
toons from silvered twigs. Turquoises
set in slender platinum chains are COW
eted treasures, and amethysts are
among the favorite stones of the hour.
Imitation opal beads, mother of pearl,
white coral, cut ganets. all are used,
together with chains of white Japan
ese, as novelties for the jeweled Christ
mas tree.
More startling still is the spade par
ty presumably an inspiration of Lord
Rosebery or one of the athletic girls
of the period. The guests arrive with
spades and the house party sallies
forth into the open and digs with
might and main. Prizes await the
guests who dig the largest area.
