New General Election Not Unlikely.
Concerning the parliamentary situation
in Great Britain, Mr.. Boyle said:
Representatives OF the Lords and Com
mons are at present holding a conference
on the veto question, and II the lords as a
result of this conference do not consent to
forfeit their veto, another general election
will be thrown upon the British Isles-an
election in which the main battle will be
between the rising democracy and the
dying aristocracy of Great Britain and Ire
/ land. 1t will be a contest between nearly A,
OVO,OOO people and COO lords. II the democracy
| wins. which seems almost certain, then the
| door will be opened to Irish home rule.
The democracy of England has already
/ declared itself for Ireland and already
there is a majority Of 124 in favor of home
/ rule for Ireland.
THE London Times true to its tradl-
tons, is now starting a campaign against
Ireland. II declares its intention to con-
! test every Irish seat in Parliament at
! the next election, not with the hope OF
| winning, but for the avowed purpose OF
! bankrupting the Irish fund. II is for the
! purpose Of raising funds for this campaign
that we Irish are now In this country. We
are appealing to Irishmen and friends oil
Ireland to support the old country in its
last battle with English aristocracy."
