Only the Governors of the three Frésidencies, Bengal, Bombay, and Madras, the three political ap- pointments are eligible to act as a substitute for the Viceroy. Of the three, Bir George Stanley, who is Lord Derby's brother, is in his fifth year as Governor, while Sir John Anderson was appointed in.1332 and Lord Brabourne only recently took up his Governorship.
The Viceroy shares with the "three Governors the privilege of taking leave in the middle of his five-year term of office. It is a comparatively recent privilege, Lord Reading being the first to avail himself of it.
Previously it was impossible for the Viceroy or the Governora to leave their posts during their Ave years, a regulation which often en- talled great personal; hardship.

Generally the declaration of the poll is the signal for an exchange of compliments between victor and vanquished. But there are excep- tions.
Mr. Jack Jones, the Socialist nember for Silvertown, must hold the record for discourtesy. After the 1929 declaration, when he ob- tained 23.000 votes to Mr. William Teeling's 3,000, he said in his speech: "I have fought many stiff stiff as Mr. Teeling." Eghts before, but never such a big
