LONDON, Jan. 21. Political interest at the present moment centres in the Franchise Bill, to which Sir Edward Grey moves 80 Amendment on Friday to extend the franchise to women. Both the Front Benches and the rank and file of all parties are bopelessly divided. Mr Asquith, Mr McKenna, Mr Harcourts Lord Crewe, Mr Austen Chamberlain, Mr F. E. Smith, and Sir E. Carson are the principal opponents, while Sir Edward Grey, Mir Lloyd George, Lord Morley, Lord Haldane, Mr Augustine Birrell, Mr Bonar Law, Mr Balfour, And Mr Wyndham are the chief sup- porters of female suffrage.
