ELECTION EXPECTED. THE IRISH ISSUE. SANCTION OF THE PEOPLE. - By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 3, 5.5 p.m. London, Jan. 3. The newspapers are giving prominence to the likelihood of an early election to enable the electors to approve of the Irish settlement, which the law officers consider is such a drastic alteration in Imperial relations that it needs electoral sanction

NEWSPAPER FORECAST. London, Dec. 17. The Observer endorses the Pall Mall Gazette’s prediction that an election will be held in February, as it is Mr. Lloyd George’s best opportunity of blanketing the Opposition and sweeping the board.
