'"Three weeks!' He almost reeled.

blandly.
The Care de FEST was thronged with
people when Brock appeared fully half
an hour before departing time. In no
little dismay he found himself wonder
Ing If the whole Of Paris was going
away or, on the other hand, If the rest
of the continent was arriving. He felt
a fool in Medcroft's unspeakabl BILE check
ed suit, and the eyeglass was much
more obstinate, untractable thing than
he had even suspected it could be.
The right side of his face was In a
condition Of semtparalysfs. due to the
muscular exactions required. He had
sickening fear that the scowl that
marked his brow was destined to form
perpetual alliance with the smirk at
the corner Of his nose, forever Destroy
ing the symmetry of his face. If one
who has not the proper facial con-
struct1on will but attempt the feat of
holding monocle in place for un-
broken hours be may come to appreci-
ate at least one of the trials which be-
set poor Brock.
Every one seemed to be staring at
him. He heard more than one Ameri-
can in the scurrying throng say to an
other, English" and he felt relieved
until an Englishman or two upset his
confidence by brutally abiding to him
as "confounded American toady."
1t was quite train time before Mrs.
Medcroft was seen hurrying In from
the carriage way, pursued by a trio Of
facteurs laden with bags and boxes.

a quick whisper as they came together.

that her dark eyes were filed with a

GIVES UP SAFE SEAT
TO ENTER NEW FIELD
Sir John Simon to Try for Par.
lament From Northwest
Manchester.
speeial correspondence Of The Star.

LONDON, August %, 1913.
The announcement that Sir John Simon.
the solicitor general, is to forsake his
safe parliamentary seat at Walthamstow
at the next general election, in order to
storm the northwest Manchester con-
stituency at present represented by Sir
John Randles indicates how much inn
portance the liberal party attaches to
the opinion of Manchester. which has
been we'll styled 1.-The stronghold of free
trade" What Lancashire says today,
England will say tomorrow has long
been the motto of patriotic Lancastrians,
and the next election may very easily
be influenced by Manchesters vote.
Northwest Manchester mas a record for
fckleness and according TO the law of
averages, ought to unseat its present
member at the next election.
Originally a fairly safe conservative
seat. the northwest electoral district of
Manchester with the rest of Lancashire
took fright at Joseph Chamberlain's pro-
tectionlst policy, and in 1896 returned
Winston Churchill in the liberal interest.
Two years later, however, when
Churchill was promoted to cabinet rank.
the constituency rejected him in favor
of JOHNSON Hicks. a conservative. who
lost the seat again in January, 1910, to
Sir George Kemp, liberal. In the Deem
Der election of the same year the present
conservative leader, Andrew Bonar Law,
gave up a safe seat in order to attack
northwest Manchester, but failed, where
as, at the beginning of this year, after
the elevation of Sir George to the peer
age. the constituency went back to the
conservative fold, returning Sir John
Handles.

PLAN FOR MAIL VOTING.
Commercial Travellers Ask Secretary
Daniels to Support Project.

Three representatives of the Associated
Travelling Statesmen of New York visited
Secretary Daniels today to secure his
support in their efforts to obtain the
right to vote in absentia for travelling
men OF all kinds who cannot pc at home
Sn election days The Secretary told
them he believed some scheme should be
worked out whereby the thousands of
men in the navy who are citizens in
various states should be given the fran
chise right. even if they could not appear
AT the polls in person.
The travelling statesmen explained to the
Secretary an elaborate scheme they had
worked out which they claimed would be
fraud-proof. The voter, before leaving
home, would sign a numbered blank bal
Lot. taking with him the corresponding
stub. which he would send in by mail
election day. The comparison of num-
bers and signature. they said. would pre-
vent the possibility of cheating.

Distribution of Cabinet Members.

When Lord Murray of Elibank was
chief liberal whip it was his plan to
bring about a scheme under which the
country was divided into various areas,
with cabinet minister allocated to each,
and actually representing a constituency
III the district that was selected as his
particular territorial sphere Of influence.
The idea originated in the wish at lib
eral headquarters to make an onslaught
on Birmingham. Liberal orators, when
speaking in that stronghold of unionism,
are in the habit of declaring that Bir-
mingham is really liberal at heart
if this be so Birmingham liberalism must
have weak heart, judging from the
electoral majorities its opponents reg
ularly enjoy.
Old parliamentarians say that the So
licitor general is strikingly like the Mr..
ASQuith of twenty years ago, and GER
tainly it is true that his reputation in
his party is steadily rising. He is a
sound man, and a straight man, lacking
a little in the warm humanities, always
eminently reasonable. The contrast be-
tween the two great rivals is as striking
as. the parallel. Mr. Smiths style is
one of brilliant argument, picturesque
ly phrased. Sir Johns one of cold and
very careful reasoning presented in
rather pedantic manner. Mr.. Smith is a
platform rather than a parliament man,
Sir John the reverse, though it is
noticeable of late that each has been
developing in the special field of the
other. The unionist has the advantage
in physique, which in the stress of the
modern political fight is, of cource, a
tremendously important matter. But
though he is not robust, the solicitor
general is the kind of man who can live
for an indefinite time on his nerves, and
the impression he conveys is that of a
slayer.
