"ELECTION OF SPRAKER.
Slackness
A CONSTITUTIONAL PROTEST.
Mr. Whitley member for Halifas. was: elected Speaker of the House of Com mons, in succession to Mr. Lowther. The Jlection was unanimous. No other name but bis' was mentioned. If another candi- dature had been pressed, it would certainly not have received the support of a hundred members. The protest that was made was directed not against Mr. Whitler's fitness for the Chair. bus solely against the action taken by the Government in connection with hip nomi- nation, So, though the unanimity of the ceremonial was marred, the unani- mity of the election was quite unspoilt. The protest, to deal with that first Mr. Ronald was decidedly overdone. McNeill spoke well and persuasively, as he always does, and put his points ad- mirably. But as he had no rival name to propose, the protest should have end. ed there. Sir William Joynson-Hicks was listened to with great impatience. When he claimed, or seemed to claim, to be speaking for," the great mass of private merabers." there were loud pro-2 tenting cries of "Speak. for yourself ** Mr. Dennis Herbert, the third protest- aat, lost the ear of the House before he and had finished his first sentence. when he talked of." the danger of creat ing a precedent" being somewhat analo- gous to a deed of sin," the House had no further interest in his somewhat,ele- mentary cogitations.
THE GOVERNMENT'S ASSURANCEL. These three speeches of protest brought up Mr. Chamberlain with an emphalic assurances that the Executive bad not interfered in the slightest with the rights and privileges of private members, and had strictly followed earlier precedents. They bad ascertained, through Lord! Edmund Talbot, the late Chief Whip, the general views, of "members, and he had reported to them that undoubtedly Mr. Whitley was desired' as the next Speaker by the great majority. The Government had then approached Mr. Whitley and offered, him the nomination, and after doing that, how could they, as "English gentlemen," have allowed any member of the Government to stand as a rival candidate? With respect to the atter argument that if, twice in succes- sion, a Chairman of Committees were electell Speaker, the Chairman would come to have a prescriptive right to the Speakership, unless obviously disquali fed for the post, Mr. Chamberlain said that the Government recognised no such prescriptive succession in any shape or The Leader of the House only inter- vened for the sake of clearing up mis understandings, and his speech obviously had a good effect. Nevertheless, it could not be gainsaid that Mr McNeill's points were points of substance-viz., that the free choice of Speaker is passing-if it has not already passed- in effect to the Executive. though it still nominally remains one of the privileges of
