BRITISH CAMPAIGN BEGINS
New Premier viii Make First speech
I'm London and MT. BaIfour
Opens In Leeds.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE great polit. cal
campaign in the United Kingdom will be
fairly inaugurated during the coming week,
when the new prime minister, Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman, will speak at Albert
Hall, London, and Mr.. Balfour at Leeds. 1t
Is expected the respective leaders of the
government and opposition will then out
line the main issues and platforms of their
parties Alfred Lyttelton. colonial secretary
in Mr.. Balfours cabinet, speaking at Learn
ington tonight. said the unionists would
place their fiscal policy before the country.
This is taken to mean that some modihca-
ton of what is known as the Chamberlain
policy is intended. Mr.. Lyttelton also said
the unionists would base their fight against
the liberals on Sir Henry Campbell Ban
nerman's well known home rule proclivities
With regard to the fiscal policy Mr. Lyttel-
ton, who may be understood as speaking for
the unionists said the whole policy OF his
party would be for the prevention of un-
fair competition and colonial preference.
! Christmas week will bring an enforced
truce between all the parties so far as an
active campaign is concerned but the ac-
| tivity will begin after the new year
The campaign, II is thought, will be short
and sharp. writs are expected to issue
I January s. which means that most OF the
elections will be over by January IS though
actually some OF the constituencies have
until January Is. At any event, the cleo
] lions will be decided within the month OF
January and Parliament will meet Feb
ruary Is
| One OF the most interesting pieces o
news developing in the week is the prac
teal certainty that Lord Curzon OF Kedles
ton. former viceroy of India. will represent
the City Of London in the House OF Com
mons in succession TO Sir Joseph Dimsdale

employed MIR Shonts
GaIIinRcr Discusses Salaries.
Mr.. Gallinger then spoke on the merits
of the salary roll, saying that he had be
lieved that Mr.. shonts' salary is too high
and he was certain that the $1,000 paid
MIR. Bishop as press agent is beyond
all reason. and ! hope" he said, that
in due time that gentleman will perform
more work or that his salary will be re-
duced TO $500, the sum paid his prede-
cessor"
With those and perhaps few other cN-
ceptions he believed the pay roll reason
able. He especially defended the $4,000
payments to the auditor and the purchas-
ing agent and quoted the testimony OF
Secretary Taft in support of this contention
showing that they had already saved the
government $4,000 by securing reduc-
ton of the figures Of the lowest bidders
Mr. Hopkins suggested that IL all the
bids had been rejected still more might
have been saved

Mr. Hale spoke of the difficulties In
dealing with a single position In legislation

tions had been unit as to the undesirable

II am authorized to state and state
here that this view of the committee on

whole machinery of the press bureau is tn

administrative measure and there is no
change in the position of anyone"
Mr.. Culberson expressed the hope that
Bishops salary would be readjusted. but
Mr. Hale said he had been given no au-
thority to speak on that point: that would
be matter for future consideration. Mr..
Culberson expressed the opinion that the
method of control of the isthman zone had
