the proportion has remained much

II will thus be seen that in the

ties combined. But for the last three
lears the men elected by the Labor
party and the Irlsh National party
have acted with the Liberals. After
the next election the Liberals will
hold the Labor party men. They will
hold the Irlsh Nationals only by
granting home rule for ireland. As
II Is nearly certain that. even II the
