GREATEST DAY
IN BRITISH POLITICS
Winding up of the Peers Campaign
Was Marked BY Violence In
Some Sections.

LONDON, Jan. 8.-Twenty thousand
political meetings held throughout
England during the past week Gull
minated tonight in riots, brick throw
ing and wild demonstrations against
the conservative party In the election
which is now engrossing England.
Meetings conducted by the Duke Of
Devonshire, the Earl of Stanhope and
the Duke of Norfolk in the constituent
cies Of Skipton, the south end of Lon
don and in Brixton, were marked by
the widest demonstrations.
Only the fearlessness and good hui.
NOR of the Duke of Norfolk prevented
serious rioting at Brixton, where the
excited voters stormed the lecture
hall and absolutely refused to allow
the speker to hold public meeting.
He was finally forced to make his adj
dress with an audience made up
solely of reporters.
In the opinion of the best political
judges today was the greatest day ever
known in English politics. 1t virtually
marked the wind up of the campaign
in so far as the peers canvass Is con-
cerned, as they cannot take an active
part in the election after the assurances
OF their writs on Monday.
It is estimated that 10000 political
meetings were held in England
today and approximately 100000 parties
engaged in house to house canvass
es, 10000 combining their attention to
London alone.
Violence of the day came apace
with activity At Milestown, in South
Tyrone, where T. w. Russell, former
ly one of the Unionists leaders, but
now identified with the liberals, at
tempted to speak, several hundred per.
sons created him with cries Of traitor
and ATTEMPTED to rush" his carriage
The mob was armed with black
thorns. but Gordon of police sur
rounded Russell and prevented the
rioters from reaching him. Free
trade VS.. protection is the line on
which the final battles are being
fought. One of the biggest meetings
of the day was that addressed by
Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd
George at Plymouth this afternoon.
Ten thousand people heard him and
went mad with enthusiasm at the
chancellors onslaughts on the union
lists. :,
protectionists are declaring in all
+heir speeches that Germany fears the
adoption OF protective policy by
england. Such policy, they say
would greatly enhance English indus
tr;es at the expense Of Germany.
