Labor is defending three seats, Brightside, Attercliffe and Hillsborough and the Conservatives, four, Park, Ecclesall, Hallm and Central, the Liberals have not held a seat in Sheffield since 1923 when they lost Park and in 1922 they were deprived of three seats by the Laborites. ? Apart from the local issues the main fight seems to centre around the merits of the Conservative pro- posals of derating and safeguarding, both of which are criticized by labor. Meanwhile a separate warfare is be- ing waged between the Liberals atu Labor. One Socialist candidate quo- tes Ramsay MacDonald as saying, "Nor will the country take the Lib- eral party seriously, Dyring the whole of the last parliament that party ne- ver cast an united vote on any sub- jeat of importance." The Liberal cai- didates retort that the Socialist lead- ers are hypnotized by nationalization and the miners today are suffering for the folly of such leaders, Among the Labor candidates is Ar- thur Ponsonby, descendant of a long line of aristocrats, who was once himself a page of honor to Queen Victoria. He has represented Bright. side since 1922, Another socialist, Ce- cil Wilson, also a member in the last House, belongs to one of the oluest and most famous Sheffield firms who refine precious metals. Whether or not Attercliffe returns him again all Sheffield will agree this particular fa- tation for public service and fair dealing, The solitary communi . didate G.
