The London Daily Express invent

to accept a "straphangership" will
be one Of the seyerest tests OF party

The Express has suggested, as
titles are sure to run short before
a batch of 500 new noblemen has
been created, that the "straphang-
ers'' be known by numbers, and this
hasn't improved matters any. In
short, the Liberals are likely TO
have considerable trouble In finding
candidates for the new titles-as-
