UNITED KINGDOM
IS IN THE -THROES
OF REFLECTIONS
There Are Five Vacant
Seats in House of Com
pons-Unionists Are
Making Strong Fight

London, November 2-The United
Kingdom is in the throes of a miniature
ye-eleotion. There are five vacant seats
for the House of Commons. four of them
caused by recent judicial appointments
and consequent changes in the Cabinet
The government is quite naturally a little
anxious for in four of the contests it
is on the defensive
The unionists too. are making deter
mined fights in every constituency and
are aided in some by the nomination of,
labor and socialist candidates, who al
ways draw votes from the liberals
The greatest interest centers in the
contest for Reading, the seat which Sir
Rufus Isaacs gave up to take the lord
chief justiceship, and here the unionsts
have the best chance of making break
in the government defenses. Sir Rufus
always held his seat by narrow majori-
ties. Capt. Leslie Wilson, who fought
him at the last election, is again the
unionist candidate.
GOoch Candidate
George Peabody Gooch, the liberal can
didate. a relative of the late George Pea
body, the American millionaire, is a
stranger to Reading, having entered the
constituency only ON the eve of the con-
test and besides the socialists are OPP
posing him.
Reading is largely one firm town. Most
of the firms members are unionsts, but
its head. the late Sir George Palmer
was liberal and the votes and influence
of the firm were about evenly divided be-
tween the two parties. Sir George Pal
mer died few weeks ago and the whole
influence of the firm now will be for the
unionist candidate.
The other election in an English con-
stituency, the Keighley division of York
shire, where Stanley c. Buckmaster has
to seek reelection on his appointment
as solicitor general, does not give tie
government SO much concern, Mr. Buck
master was returned a year ago at a
bye-election, receiving S25 votes over the
unionist candidate in a three cornered
fight, in which the third candidate la
Dor man, received over 5000 votes. This
time 1t is not expected there will be any
official labor candidate.
Scottish Election
The two Scottish elections will be fought
largely on Scottish issues and in both
cases the liberals are pretty certain of
success.
Robert Munro, on account of his APP
pointment of lord advocate for Scotland.
has to go back to his constituency, Wick
burghs, to have his appointment Endorsed
No unionist candidate has yet been Sc
lected.
The other Scottish contest is for Lin
lithgowshire. which Alexander Ure va
Gated to become lord president of the
court of sessions. He had represented the
constituency for 20 years, always being
elected by large majority. The candi-
date of the government party is Mr..
Pratt, strong temperance advocate His
opponent will be James Kidd a solicitor
There will be no contest for the north
ern division of County Cork, where John
Guiny has been nominated.

 The Judge announces that it would be premature at this time, prior to his confirmation he could take no ises and until he receives word of lis confirmation he rould take no thought of who would or would not be. clerk of the court, the position which is agitating the mind of the local Democratic politicians.
 Rumor has linked many names with the position; first and foremost Arthur Lang, of the Valdez Mercan- tile Co.,, has been thought of by many, who believe him capable and know of the friendship between the judge and cashier of the Mercan- tile Co. Thomas Scott and V. A. Paine. at present deputies in the office. are spoken of in connection with the clerkship. Charles Hand, an active worker in the Democratic party, a strong personal friend and supporter of the appointee and form erly secretary to the governor of Idaho, is also mentioned for po- sition in the office.
 For secretary to the Judge and court setnographer, Ike Hamburger has the support of the members of the bar without an exception and it is thought, because of his capabil- ity and fitness he will be retained in his present position. He was at one time secretary to Senator Carter, of | Montana.
