Tomorrow will see seventy polls. Ths ' constituencies aro so scattered throughout the United Kingdom that the results should, furnish a fair index of the feeling of ths country. Thirty-six of theas seats formerly were held by liberals, twenty-six by unionists and eight by laborltea. In many cases the majorities wers so small the verdict of January lut may easily be reversed. Political prophets are at sea, aa the elections are being held on the old register and there have been so many removals sines spring that the canvassers have been unable to trace many thousands of the voters on recotd. Consequently the vote probably will be smaller than heretofore. Ons unionist forecast Is a net gain of thirty seats and unionist optimists sea ths possibility of an anti-government land slide. However, the confidence of the lib erals In a return to power with aa un diminished coalition majority la unshaken. Canadian Naval Bill Wis. OTTAWA.
