LONDON, July 12.The election of Edward De Valera as member of parliament for East Clare, the tbird Sinn Feiner to be returned by parliament of late, is treated as an event of great political consequence by the morning papers which devote considerable space to the victory. ' ,- Tho tendency of the Unionist press, reflecting their advices from Belfast end Dublin, is to emphasize what it always contended the folly of the " government in liberating Sinn Fein prisoners and refraining to deal with revolutionary talk and acta as such would ba dealt with in England. These papers regard the situation as pravely threatening for they see nothing in the Sinn Fein movement but rebellion. The liberal press also Is alarmed, but rather for the position of the official nationalist party and for the prospect for the establishment of constitutional home rule. Convention Prospect Hurt wOne opinion seems common among all parties, namely, that the prospects of the convention in Ireland to consider home rule is seriously impaired if not entirely doomed. Another view is that the election is an irreparable disaster for the Irish nationalist party, which, many Irish people complain, held the country for years in the dead hand of rigid machine policy. The Sinn Fein movement is regarded In the same quarter as an expression of discontent and vehement resentment of a long course of administrative folly, indicating rather a lack of confidence with" present pariliament-

ary methods than a revolutionary ten-.

dency, and in this respect, resembling a state of mind which often leads "Prussian electors who themselves are not at all socialists to support socialist candidates at the polls. "Out of Sheer Disgust" Commenting on the East Clare election, the Irj&h Independent says: "Five out of every six electors who supported the victor did so out of sheer disgust for the cringing, crawling policy of the Irish party and the blundering tactics of their leaders." The Irish Times considers that East Clare voted for a program of revolution. "The Sinn Fein policy so far has developed on destruction and bit

terness pregnant with menace to the peace of Ireland yet this policy triumphed over the memory of a devoted soldier (Major William Redmond) and swept the nationalists out of a feat held without opposition for twenty years," says the Irish Times. The Dublin Express says the victory is the most . portentous thing in modern Irish history. "It is clear." the paper says, "that the nationalists can do little at a. conr ventlon but record their t1ous opinions."
