AS the date OF the local option

Drys assert that 5000 new voters
were registered at the local primary

Cords Give Up Ancient Riqht.

BY a vote OF 175 to II the house of
lords passed the resolution of Lord
Rosebery calling for reform with the
object of STAYING off the drastic steps
meditated by the Asquith government
The resolution declared that a
necessary preliminary to the reform
and reconstruction of the house is the
acceptance of the principle that the
possession of a peerage should no
longer OF itself give the right to sit
and vote in the house of lords.
The adoption of this principle by
the lords is one of the most important
