"Then was no surrender ot Roosevelt
forces to th men la charge of th La
Follett organisation. All, such talk Is
pur buncombe to try and kick up a row.
Th Roosevelt men will be as numerous
on that ticket as th La Follett men.
If th La Follett men on Monday do
not recognise our half of th delegates
snd insist on a fool plurality vote that
In effect would be a three-cornered fight.
It . would mean a real thre-cornred flgta
resulting In separata delegate. There
was not a word said by Governor Aid rich
or Mr. Harrison at our conference that
could be used aa a basis for today's re
ports about any such surrender. I feel
sura, however, there will be no occasion
for a call of a Roosevelt meeting as I
believe th La Follett men are not under

BELFAST, Feb. I Religious freedom
will be secured, a representation fair to
all parties In tbe Irish Parliament wUI
b guaranteed, laws and taxes unjust
to any party will be guarded against and
Ireland will control ita own finances un.
der the terms of th horns rule bill.
These features were announced by Win
ston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty, ,who outlined th proposed
measure for tha first time In a speech
her today.
Tha armed forces in Ireland are to be
controlled by tha Imperial government
and th Imperial government will continue
Its land purchase and pensions scheme.
Th dauses relative to religious freedom
and taxes, it Is expected, will be Inserted
to relieve th anxiety among the
Protestants of Ulster.
Th government's horn nil bill, Mr.
Churchill said, would tit into a general
scheme of parliamentary devolution lead
ing ultimately to th federation of the
empire. That was the only way to free
th Houss of Common frcm Its present
congestion.
RedasMd Endorses Bill.
John Redmond, tha nationalist leader,
followed with a flva-mlnut speech, In
which hs said that he accepted every
word of Mr. Churchill's noble speech. Th
gift of th Irish Parliament would be
mad on th clear Understanding that the
power conferred would not be abused.
Otherwise It was tb baunden duty ot the
Imperial Parliament to interfere.
Mr. Churchill arrived this morning with
his wlfs at the central station and was
given a somewhat mixed reception.
A number of Orangemen who had gath
ered at the station greeted blm with
groan and boas, but they were drowned
In th hearty cheers of th large crowd
of Liberals and Nationalists, There wss

In th ours ot the morning a crew
t Unionists paraded th street carrying
an effigy of Mr. Churchill to which was
attached a placard bearing th words
"Down with .Churchill! No Home Rule!"
They proceeded to th hotel where Mr.
and Mrs. Churchill are staying and sang
th natloaalanthem, after which they
dispersed without disorder.
Thar wss no marked excitement among
tb workers of th city today. A few
small crowds, however, were scattsrsd
her and there, anxious- to aes th first
lord of th admiralty and ta watch th
movements of the military. .-
Rail fell tha whoi morning. Th foot

to speak has sagged threateningly several
times.
For preserving th peace detachments
of police bav been posted sverywhsre
and th troops are held in readiness In
their quarters, -Matter
looked ugly for a moment
when Mr. and Mrs. ChurchuT started for
the plac where the meeC-Tg to bsxheld.
A great crowd which ha I gathered out-
aide th hotel appealed twined to rush
Mr. Churchill's motor car and tried to
block Its passage, but escorting cars
packed with detective succeeded ta work
ing a wsy through th groaning throng
and got th Churchill safely away.
Craaas a ad Hisses,
Mr. Churchill and John K, Redmond,
th - Nationalist leader, reached the
marque safely. Their Journey through
tbs streets wss marked by nothing more
serious than outburst ot groans and
hisses.
To guard against an Invasion by ths
Unionists only ticket bolder were ad
mitted to the grounds.
Inside th marque effigies bearing tbe
labels "Carson and Londonderry Turn
coats and Traitors" swung from poles.
Bodies of- Infantry and dragoons were
stationed a short distance from the
marquee, in readiness for emergencies.
Tb polios challenged every no whs
