British Election
Is Up Tomorrow
Campaigning Ceases On Eve Of
Election Day Which Settles
The British Issue.
(Ey United Press.l

London, Nov. 14.-Campaigning Tor
the general elections, held Throughout
the British Isles tomorrow, came to
an end today, with many of the HOO
candidates in furious eleventh hour
activity about their constituencies.
Though in isolated instances there is
tremendous rivalry for parliamentary
seats, it is generally agreed that Bo-
mar Laws conservatives are certain
Of a majority Of between 40 and So.
Labor is offering stenuous resist
ance, but it can select only hundred
members at the outside, and is not
considered likely to get more that 75
"in." The Askuithian Liberals like
wise are campaigning to the bitter
end, but their Z40 to $50 seats will rot
overthrow the conservative majority.
Lloyd Georges followers are taking
their cue from their leader, and are
not fighting Premier Bonar Laws
choices. There will probably be less
than fifty Lloyd George "independ-
ents elected.
Bonar Law spoke at Glasgow last
night, Lloyd George at Denhigh.
While Winston Churchill had n
stormy time with communist hecklers
at Dundee. The former colonial sec
retary is recovering from an operation
for appendicitis and spoke from a
wheel chair. Asquith, Earl Birkon-
head and Viscount Grey spoke in 9TH
er parts Of the Isles.
Tomorrow, electors will go to the
polls to name 615 members Of parlla-
ment. OF these, 13 will be from
Northern Ireland Between 80 and 90
seats are uncontested. The conserva-
tives confidently expect to elect at
least SO members, a safe majority for
the moment, although one which will
leave Lloyd George and his followers
with the balance of power. Should
Bonar Laws party fail to get a ma
ioritv. it is probable that Lloyd
George would lend the support OF his
followers. Therefore there seems no
possibility whatever Of the premier
meeting defeat tomorrow, and the
elections are being viewed as great
sporting event.
Many sporting wagers, including a
carload of whiskey against a sypaon
Of soda on the conservatives, ana
bet of a Lloyd Georgian eating ms
hat AGAINST his opponents gong

Coming Session To
Be Do-Nothing Type
Bloc and Factions and Filibusters
Will Run Wild in Special and
Short Sessions of Congress.
(By Isaac Gregg

Washington, D. c., Nov. Il The
forthcoming special session of Con-
gress and the regular short session to
follow it are scheduled to be among
the worst do nothing sessions the
country has known for some time.
Blocs and factions are expected to
run wild; fihbusters are certain to
come on important pieces of legisla-
ton: the large Republican majority
in both Houses undoubtedly vii be
destroyed and made impotent.
All this is natural result of Tues
DAYS election at which the people Of
the country demonstrated their dis
satisfaction with the present make W
of Congress Feeling that the
changes which the people apparently
want made should take place as soon
as possible, and without delay Of
thirteen months until the regular ses-
sion of December, 1928, the members
of Congress who believe themselves
to be exponents of the changing
trend of public opinion are going to
work for a special session Of Con-
gress to follow soon after next
March 4 when the regular session
automatically expires.
That they will be successful there is
little doubt unless the President
should show an unlocked for degree
of firmness and refuse to call the
session which he is not obligated u
do. But the self appointed eXponenta
of the new political thought, what
ever it is, can filibuster and defeat al;
important administration Legislation
by constant delays. They can pre-,
vent the passage by March 4 Of some
of the great supply bills. This would
not however compel the presldenc
to call a special session for under
the law if an appropriation for
given department is not made At
the beginning of the fiscal year on
July /, then that apartment IS com
PEELED to go along on the same APP
preparations for all of its branches as
it had for the previous year!
Not only Democrats hut Republ-
cans are included in the move for a
special session at which all the new
members would be sworn in Those
the extra session believe
the make up of the new Congress
will be much more representative
of the desires of the people than the
present congress and are anxious to
see it function as quickly as possible.
There is no prospecst OF strong
republican leadership for Representa-
tive Mondell will still be the leader
in the House, and Majority Leader
Lodge i'm the Senate. Mr.. Lodge
returning with diminished prestige
and failing health, cannot hone to
hold together the Senator'S of the
west and middle west.

Says Effort To Pass 1t
Would Be Party
Suicide"
LAME DUCK" IS BAD
Idaho Senator Thinks That Republi-
can Party Should Not Trifle Fur
ther With The Public-Fears
Party Suicide"

Washington, Nov 14-Any attempt
by the administration to enact the ship
subsidy bill at the extra session of
congress would be "a second attempt
at party suicide" Senator Bor2h,
Idaho, warned today, in announcing
his opposition to enactment of such
important legislation by rejected or
"lame duck" congress.
Borah served notice that the ship
subsidy "will take up vast amount
of time without resulting in its en-
actment into law"
AS the subsidy bill is expected to be
the central theme of President Hard
ing's message to the extra session
which convenes Monday, and Is to
constitute the keystone administration
program for the session, Borah's
threat of filibuster against it fore
shadows another clash between the
progressive group in the senate and the
administration forces. Borah's posi-
tion will have considerable support
from some of the farm bloc, and the
democrats.
IL hope there will be no serious ef-
fort to force through the ship subsidy
billa t the short session." said Borah.
This bill involves a new and most im-
portant departure in our national pol
icy. It's advocates were not willing u
push the bill prior to election. Doubt
less it was thought polite Y unwisc
to do so. 1t was feared, presume that
it might be resented at the polls
"To push it at this time, after the
old congress has suffered such radi-
cal change would be unjust and eX-
tremely unwise from a political stand
point. The congrc Which would pass
it would be a rejec j congress. The
matter ought 10 rmitted to rest
until the latest { sion of the peo-
pie coul! AVE ct through their
new congress. A matter of such mo-
ment should come bfore a congress
that represents the last expression Of
the voters"
Nothing more unwise is imaginable,
Borah declared, than an attempt to
jam such a bill through congress
which has just been the victim OF
rejection by the people in an election
so decisive as that of last Tuesday.
Furthermore, he said, "the ship sub
sidy bill does not meet the approval OF
the people generally, and that is true
particularly with reference 20 this
pending measure. The bill is looked
upon as the worst kind Of fayorit-
ism in legislation.
"The Republican party ought not to
trine any further with the public.
We have made one effort at political
suicide, and it seems to me unneces-
sarily soon to make another effort.
There are number of things we
can do and ought to do and which will
take all the time of the special and
short sessions. ! am very much OF
the opinion that the ship subsidy bill
will take up a vast amount of time
without resulting in its enactment in
TO law"

Berkeley, Cal, Nov l4.-Music,

readily promised by city authorities.
Artists residents in Berkeley Will
