BROOM SWEPT CLEAN.
The Khaki Movement 10 England Was Sue
cesSful.
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN WAS SUSTAINED
conservatives Gained Twelve Seats
As Against the Agnining of
Three by the Liberals.

London. October 1.-The khaki broom
swept the country. Yesterdays pollings
are tale of increased ministerialist and
diminished liberal maiorities. The re-
turns from the rural DISTRICTS today
(Friday) and tomorrow may do something
to rehabilitate the liberals-but the re-
suits thus far have fully justified Mr.
Chamberlain and the party organizers
who are backing the government in their
choice of the moment to dissolve parlia-
ment.
Few will doubt that an appeal to the
country a month or two earlier would
have produced an even more remarkable
unionist outburst. Nevertheless. the min
isteriallsts may already congratulate
themselves on being returned with an iii
creased majority. Yesterday the con-
servatives gained twelve seats as against
three gained by the liberals.
The working men of the country have
replied in very decided voice in favor
of the war and Of the annexation of the
republics.
