John "A. Clark, Jr.. chairman Of the

morning that the campaign would
be kept open for the remainder OF

Where work has been done the re-

there is no doubt that the sum de-

IT is going to require earnest and
painstaking work on the part OF all
the district organizations.
The tag and doughnut sales on

successful and about $1750 was re-

TO DISCUSS IRISH AFFAIRS
One Day Allotted to Problems BY
House of Commons.

London, Oct. 19.-Irish affairs will
probably be discussed in the house of
commons next Tuesday, thru the de-
clared willingness of the government
to allot one day to the Irish situation
if the house should express a general
desire for such a discussion. Ulster
men and their sympathizers here are
concerned over the anomalous posi-
ton of the northern government which
has as yet not begun to function and
is, in fact merely a paper govern
ment." It's departments cannot oper-
ate, it cannot levy taxes, it has no con-
troll of its own police and civil service
and remains, to all practical purposes,
under the imperial parliament acting
thru Dublin castle.
1t is charged that the position Of
the Belfast administration is due to a
failure of the government of ireland
to act. 1t may be recalled that legis-
lation provided administrative powers
" ould not be given Ulster until a gov
eminent was established in southern
Ireland. As negotiations concerning
the southern Irish government are still
in progress and it is impossible 10
forecast the outcome, Ulster wants the
British government to find other
means of effecting a transfer of pow
els. Such an arrangement should be
fastened, it Is held, so that Belfast
may start administrative work
