List of Candidates Is Still Far from

ASSOCIATED Press
LONDON, Jan, with the first
pollings of the general election only
a fortnight away the campaign shows
less popular excitement than the last
stages of previous general elections
Since the first tremendous uproar
over the rejection of the budget by
the house of lords and the general ex-
plosion of oratorlcal fireworks with a
remarkable amount of personal abuse
by rival politicians the contest has
settled into a dull bombardment of
speeches and newspaper articles deal
ing with the house of lords and tariff
reform.
The list of candidates still is far
from complete, while fractional squab-
bles between reformers and free trad
ers in the Unionist ranks forces the
radicals and laborites in the govern
ment forces to leave many opportu-
mites for changes in nominations al
ready made in order to avoid three
cornered fights.
The peers on the platform continue
10 furnish a picturesque element.

They were compelled to face the
public in order to vindicate the claims
of their classes to power and as a good
proportion of them shine more brill
liantly at foX-hunting than at states

them down.
The newspapers are wrangling
fiereely over the question of whether
the cost of living is higher and wheth-
er more Unemployment exists In
America than in Great Britain.

Miner are leading the opposition S
fight. with Austin Chamberlain put

Lord Charles Beresfcrd accusing the
government of neglecting The navy.
David Lloyd George and Winston
Churchill of the administration forces
draw the largest crowds.
Lord CurZon's declaration that a
hereditary chamber is sure TO contain
more able men than an elective one
has been the most discussed utteranee
of the week.
Betting at Whites club, which is the
sporting rendezvous for the aristoc-
racy. is even that the Liberals will
have a small majority Independent OF
the Laborites and the Irish members.
The Liberals already are eonceding
the loss of some London constituencies
which turned the color of the last cleo

IN Es MONIES. Iowa, Jan, 1.-The
fight for tariff revision and more
n progressive principles will go on
more seriously than ever and will WIN
in the end
Thus declared Senator Albert B,
Cumrnins in an address here tonight al
the Progressive Republican organiza-
ton dinner.
Much interest attached to the sena-
tors address, as it was regarded as
furnishing the keynote for the pro-
gressive fight in this state. A large
number heard his defiance of the con-
servative element in the Republican
party.
with respect to the tariff said
Senator Cummins, the stand-patters
feel it makes little if any difference
how high the duties are If they be high
enough to exclude importations When
they approach their subject their first,
and / have sometimes thought their
only, concern Is for the producer. They
are so much afraid of hurting him that
they close their ears to every voice
save him and assume that, knowing
what he wants. he will not ask for
more than he deserves.
1.-THE echoes of the platform of 1905
which contains pledges of the Republic
can party to the people have become
so faint in their councils that they are
drowned in the cries of impoverished
manufacturers.
Remembers Promise
''On the other hand the progressives
remember that we promised the Amer
lean people that the duties on imported
competitive commodities should be
measured by the difference between the
cost of production in this and rival
lands and that we made the promise
in order to give at once protection to
the producer from unequal competition
and protection to the consumer from
extortion.
I'VE know that in many fields of in
dustry home competition had been SUBJ
stantially destroyed, and we intend TO
subject our home. producers TO the fire
of foreign competition if prices were
raised above a fair and reasonable
profit
4 do not attempt to obscure or to
minimize the extent of our defeat, but
If any one harbors the delusion that
the passage of the recent tariff law
ended the fight for fair and reasonable
protective duties it would be wise for
him at once to reform his conclusion.

Contingent"
ASSOCIATED PressI

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The event
from which almost the first days of the
republic has distinguished the celebra-
ton of the new year in Washington
the presidents reception at the White
/ House-took on a new interest today
as the first public reception planned
/ for the administration of Mr.. Taft.
On New Years day the White House
doors swing open to all the world, and
during the appointed hours of the re-
! eeption of citizens the poor and humble
| pass in review and receive the clasp of
the chief executive on equal footing
with the richest of the community.
The public reception, of course, al
ways is preceded by an hour or more
of formality when the president greets
the members of the cabinet the dip
lomats, the senators and representa-
tives the high officials of the govern
ment, the officers of the army and
navy, and members of the various civic
organizations who pass through the
famed Blue Room at hours especially
set apart for them.
Reception Large
Some idea of the magnitude to which
| the New Years reception at the
White House has grown may be had
from the fact thai President Roosevelt,
during the last two or three years of
his term attained a high-water mark
of shaking hands with more than 5000
men and. women.
| Mrs. Taft joined the receiving party
/ during the early part of the reception.
! She remained until the cabinet, the
supreme court and the diplomatic corps
| had paid their respects, and then re-
| tired, leaving the remaining women of
the official family to do the honors.
1t being the presidents first New
Years reception, there was great pres
sure for the honor Of wishing him the
compliments of the season. a.
The "citizen" contingent was made
up largely of Washington people.
The time for their reception had
| been fixed at o'clock, but three hours
earlier the crowds began to gather, and
by II o'clock the lines stretched for
blocks, extending beyond the state, war
and navy department building, and
down Seventeenth street.
Fifty Minute
The president shook hands during
part of the reception at the rate OF
from forty to fifty persons minute
When the reception ended at 1855 pm
the president hao shaken hands with
5575 persons.
During the diplomatic portion of the
reception the greatest attention was
.given to the four young sons of the
new Chinese minister. In Oriental
robes, with white and pink ribbons in
their hair they added picturesqueness
to the scene.
Speaker Cannon was half an hour
late and had to go through the line
long after members of congress. Rep
resentative Murdoch, one of the insur-
gent leaders, cot most cordial reeep-
ton from the president. So did Clifford
Pinchot.
1t was reported Mr. Pinchot and Sec
rotary Baliinger shook hands, but this
proved incorrect.
