BONAR LAW PREMIER.

BONAR LAY'S FIRST PROBLEM.

LONDON, October 23. Liberale and Labourites are agitated over the question of a Saturday polling day. They declare that if rumours of a mid week date being chosen are con fired Mr. Bonar Law will make his first mistake in the promiership by antagonising the workers. On the other hand, it is pointed out that the date depends on the proclamation of dissolution, as nominations are not counting Sundays. Mr. Bonar Law is not likely to com- plete the formalities necessary to unsure the proclama- tion to-day, which will mean pelling on November 11, and if he postponed the proclamation until October 30 in order to ensure polling on October 18 the delay would imperil the prospects of ratification of the Irish.com. stitution.

"We are members of the Unionist and Conservative party In the course of his speech, Mr. Bonar Law hoped which we served faithfully and we intend to remain that now the party's confidence had been given to him members thereof. We do not contemplate forming an- the Coalition Unionists who voted against the Carlton other party and will urge our views on our own party."

STIFF TUSSLE COMING. Continuing Mr. Bonar Law said the Irish constitu ¿tion must be given effect.

Referring to Mr. Lloyd George, he said it was sure they would have a pretty stiff tussle but he hoped they would still remain good friends afterwards,

Mr. Bonar Law declared he would open his cam- paiga and submit a definite policy on Thursday.

The meeting unanimously passed a votoɔl thanks to Mr. Austen Chamber-lain for his services,
