Trades Union Congress, which in • the General Strike in effect demanded the reversion of the right to govern, although it was responsible to only - a small proportion of the nation, and that in lin Parliamentary sense.

We can do no more than say that whatever the result may be it will be more significant than that of any by-election in recent years. Either the accepted democratic method, acknowledged by all Parties, will be vindicated or it will be weakened so seriously—for the time being at all events—as to make necessary a rally to Constitu- tionalism of all who understand what chaos • will be created by the irresponsible doctrine of the Press Lords.
