Into this district, the battle-ground or

Government and NatIonalists are to carry

snokesman Of the government for Home

Iobn Redmond, the Irish Nationalist lead

selected for the meeting is February s.,

Liberal Cabinet minister and the National

Unionists are organizing counter demon

father with equal vehemence denounced,
will be the centre OF attraction. 1t will be
