Home rule for Ireland by May. 1914
This prediction was made by William
II. Is. Redmond. member of parliament
and special envoy of the Irish party. soon
alter he stepped from the train in the
mon station this afternoon. With him
was Mrs. Redmond. They came direct
from Chicago. where Mr.. Redmond held a
big meeting in the interests of the home
rule cause.
"Of course. continued the distinguished
lrishman. who for many years has been
member of parliament and the chief
lieutenant of his brother. John T.. Red
mond head of the Irish party, nothing
is absolutely sure in this world. but we
are reasonably sure the bill. which was
introduced in parliament last May. for
home rule in Ireland will become Il law
next May twelvemonth.'
Mr.. Redmond explained that under the
English constitution Il bill is passed by
the house of commons. then goes to the
house of lords. and if turned down by the
house of lords. il may be passed a second
time by the house.
'If the lords refuse to have anything to
do with the measure second time the
bill may be passed a third time by the
house, and at the expiration OF two years
from the time it was first introduced it
goes automatically to the king for his
signature and becomes law.
Liberals to Continue.
II believe that the present party will
continue in power for the next two
years." said Mr.. Redmond, referring to
the liberals. who. with the Irish party,
are ready to pass the home rule measure
as soon as parliament convenes this fall
THE lords will oppose the measure, / be-
lieve. up to the limit Some are SAN
gune enough to believe that the lords
may withdraw their opposition to the
bill before the two years are up, but /
doubt it,
Mr.. Redmond declared that the stories
which have been published in this coun-
try of the opposition of the Orangemen
in Ulster to the home rule program are
greatly exaggerated. He said that as
matter of fact very many of the people
of Ulster are in favor of home rule.
Ulster has thirty-three members In the
house." said Mr.. Redmond, land sixteen
of them are for home rule, which shows
how close in numbers are supporters of
home rule and it's opponents in Ulster
