LONDON, january o. WIN Jne
election only five days away, one
of the bitterest and hardest fought
political campaigns in English history
lis fast drawing to a close. Never in
recent years has there been seen the
same rancor against candidates, and
the spectacle of Dukes and even Cab
met Ministers being hooted from the
platform and subjected to all sorts
of insults has not been uncommon.
During the last week it has nearly
been impossible to hold a meeting
without an incipient riot breaking out,
even when the strongest police pro-
lection had been provided. Mobiles,
who are appearing for the first time
in many places have been jeered into
silence by workingmen when they
have tried to uphold their action in
vetoing the budget.
Both sides are united as to the i'm
portance of the issue, the Liberals
declaring that the return of the Con
servatives and the approval of the
Lords will mean fatal defeat for the
cause of democracy The COnserva'
tives. on the other hand, declare that
such action will be the last chance
to save the country from the menace
of the soclalistic regime which, they
claim, the Liberals are inaugurating
iNon-partisan observers are nearly
Unanimous in declaring that the Liber
ais will win, although by a smaller
majority than in the election four
years ago.
The illness of Arthur j. Balfour
the Conservative leader, and the vo
cal activity of the Dukes are the tw<
worst influences for the opposition tc
the present government. Most of the
peers are not trained to feel the pulse
of political audiences, so the awkward
moments at their meetings are mum
erous. Balfour's backing on the plat
form bears no comparison with the
oratory at the service of the Liberals
for Chancellor Lloyd-George is hos
in himself and Winston Churchill''
service to his party in the North o
England proves what force the Con
servatives lost when he went ovel
to the other side. For the momen
the balance of public feeling seems t.
be in favor of the Liberal government
whose old age pensions and lane
taxes are popular.
CITIES THE GREAT PROBLEM
The cities represent one of the diff
iulties of judging political elections
lin England. Liberals pressed through
the Commons a few months ago
bill for holding and elections in Lon
don on one day, but the Lords threw
lit out when it reached the uppeI
house. This was because it is bette
for the Conservatives to have thu
elections spread over many days. Fo
one thing, many rich men have vote
in many constituencies up and dow
the country because of their scatter
ed property, Polling on different day
enables them to use every vote, On
brewer has thirty such property vote

all. Some divisions have as man

these electors from a distance ar
called, so where fighting is close,
often happens that the workingmer
with only one vote each, are swampe
by these rich arrivals from outside
Hence the Liberal demand for ION

TAFT WILL WAR
ON INSURGENTS
eY WITHHOLDING PATRONAGE
FROM THOSE WHO OPPOSE
HIS POLICIES.
BATTLE is ALREADY ON
COLD SHOULDER FOR SENATORS
WHO OPPOSED PAYNE-AL-
pRlcH TARIFF BILL.

Washington-War without quarter
will be waged between the Taft admin
istration and such Republican "insur-
gents" in Congress as are now oppos-
ing, and who oppose in the future, the
Taft legislative program. The battle is
not with those tariff insurgents who
| quietly sheathed their blades after de-
| feat, but with those who have nursed
| disappointment and are whetting their
knives publicly in anticipation of con-
tinued conflict.
The battle broke suddenly Tuesday.
At first it was a single shot; then a
scattered firing; swiftly the thing
spread, until by night it had taken on
the aspects of general engagement,
the consequences of which cannot be
foretold. The substance OF it is that
the senators and congressman who
have taken q stand against the pres
ent administration and who continue
to align themselves with the opposi-
tion to the Presidents policies are to
receive no consideration in the mat
terS OF patronage.
Utterances such as that made by
Senator Cummins at a recent dinner
in Des Moines, by Senator Bristow in
previous speeches, anti-Taft articles
in Senator La Follette's magazine, and
recent interview by Senator Clapp
on the price of foodstuffs are said to
have stirred the President to action.
u f,r hot
some of the Republican insurgents in
the House have tried to secure the ap-
pointment under the administration of
men more or less openly out of har-
mony with the Taft regime.
Taft's closest friends advised him
that it would be impolitic for him to
give sinews of war to those who, they
warned him, might even cooperate
with the Democrats in Congress
against the Taft legislative program
and in the country at large by Great
ing anti-Taft sentiment in advance Of
the 1912 convention.
It is stated without reserve that the
President has listened to such advice
and has decided to follow it.
In support of the position taken by
certain leaders Of the administration,
the battle is not with the tariff insur-
gents. 1t was pointed out that Sena-
tors Nelson, Brown. Burkett and Bo-
rah, all of whom voted against the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, appear to be
persona grata at the White house,
postoffice department. land office and
internal revenue bureau, where fed
eral pie is served.
No politician who would discuss the
situation at all dared hazard an
opinion as to the political outcome Of
the contest. Some insisted that it
would arouse bitter opposition to Pres
ident Taft, while others declared that
the effect would be to make all Re-
publicans line up for or against the
President and smoke out" those who
have carefully kept a neutral position.
