BOTH SIDES SURE
CONFIDENCE BASED
ON CROWDS.
English Meetings Marked by
Excitement and a Tendency
to Fight.
rRy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, Jan. 1.-THE confidence of
both parties increases as the elections
draw near.
Mr.. Churchill and other Liberal lead
ers assure their audiences that an over
whelming victory Is certain. The Union
ist candidates have raised the majority
of their incoming government to hun
dred, which is above the sanguine esti-
mate of the Member for West Birming-
ham a month ago
Close calculators bring the Unionists
the Nationalists to dead level and
leave hundred seats in doubt.
This confidence is natural on both
sides, when one remembers that the au-
diences addressed nightly are the largest
and the most demonstrative known in
recent times. The excitement is SO in
tense in inflammable sections like Essex
that the Liberal meetings are broken up
by bowling lnobs, and there is free fight
ing all around.
Mr.. Balfour's speech at York tonight
contained trenchant passages on the
Home Rule and education questions and
running commentary on Mr.. Asquith S
electioneering. His defence of the ac-
tion of the House of Lords in suspending
the budget was a marvel of dexterity,
but was not convincing.
David Lloyd George. speaking at VOL
verhampton, where Sir Henry Norman's
election is being hotly contested, con-
defnned the aristocratic bureaucracy and
the peers evasion of land valuation and
their reckless gambling in food taxes.
Mr.. Churchill, in Glasgow, again
tempted the working population with a
promise of an early system of unemploy-
ment insurance Switzerland has at
tempted to introduce this class of emer-
gency insurance, but Germany has not
found it a practical scheme, although
experiments have been tried in Cologne,
Leipzig and Munich.
Mr.. Churchill was on surer ground
when he reproached the Unionists for
giving England bad name as broken
down commercial nation.
Mr. Asquith reappeared at Salisbury
where. his brother-in-law. Sir Edward
Tenant, is making desperate efforts to
save his precarious seat. The Prime
Minister again spoke with dignity and
argumentatve power on the constitu-
tional issue, but too coldly to inspire en-
thusiasm among his supporters.

But what a metamorphosed region met

vanished, the storm had chased away
the winter. and stripped the soil every

But Hatteras scarcely bestowed a
glance on surrounding objects; his ca

black mist.
