ALL MINISTER'S REELECTED.

election OF Premier Asquith, the pre-
mier was mObbed by militant s1ffra-
/ gettes The women In a Dody cnarg-
ed time after time in their attempts
to reach the minister. and there were
several lively skirmishes With the
police before Mr.. Asquith was con-
veyed to place Of safety.
The combined strength of the LIB
eral, Labor and Nationalist coalition
has reached 345 or more than half
the number of members of the house
of commons. a Unionist government,
therefore, is out of the question,
and the only point still undecided Is
the exact strength of the coalition
majority. But II an Independent
Liberal majority IS equally out of the
question. only a short life can be
| predicted for the incoming govern
ment and as a matter of fact both
the Liberal and Unionist parties are
looking away from the present strug-
gle into the not distant future when
the conflict at the polling booths
will be renewed.
The party organizers have already
been instructed to keep up unceas-
ing vigilance and to be prepared for
an appeal to the country at any mo-
ment.
There is no doubt that the success
Of the Conservatives has been largely
due to the constant education of the
agricultural population in the virtues
OF tariff reform. and this education
will now be carried into the north
.ern counties and Scotland in the hope
Of winning these territories at the
next election. The Liberals on the
other hand. will concentrate their
attention on educating the country
on the questions of free trade and
the limitation OF the veto of the
house Of lords.
I.abOriteS Have Measure.
As an example of the difficulties
facing the government at the coming
session. apart from the house of
lords and the budget, it is probable
that the Labor party viii introduce
their right to work" bin. which the
government opposed last session
This might easily lead to the defeat
Of the ministry and to another dis
solution.

quith and War Minister HahGne. all
