UNIONISTS HAVE
NO HOPE LEFT OF
CARRYING HOUSE
Conservatives Now Turn to
King to Preserve Majority

LITTLE CHANGE IN VOTING.
LITTLE CHANGE IN VOTING.

London, Dec. 6.-The prospects
today are that the Conservatives
will gain four or five seats In the
present elections. Already the Con-
servatives are urging King George
not to create Liberal peers, contend
ing that even a small gain will show
that the country is not ready for the
radical measures proposed by the
ministry, particularly the abolition
of the Lords vetod. Owing to his
known Tory sympathies. the fear ia
increasing that the king will heed
the Conservatives demands and dis
regard a ritual promise to the Lib
erals. A parliamentary deadlock
probably would result. Present re-
turns show the Conservatives have
elected 116 and the Liberals 81.
Irish Nationalist Is and Labor
ties IA.
The result merely confirms the
opinion formed after the results of
Saturdays contests that the Union
lists now have no possible hope Of re-
placing the Liberal government in
power. The only question remaining
is whether the Liberals will return
with larger or smaller majority.
To gain a bare majority in the new
parliament the Unionists must make
a net gain of 81 seats. Thus far in
1870 pollings, they have a net gain OF
only five seats. They have gained
IL and the Liberals six. The gain
by the Unionists Saturday was seven
while the Liberals gained four.
Today the Unionists gained four
and the Liberals two. The continual
ton at this rate of progress would
fulfill the unionist prediction that
the Asquith cabinet would come back
with a greatly weakened majority
and would be more than ever de-
pendent upon their Irish and Labor
allies.
II must be remembered, however,
that the Liberals lost at the last
January election a large number of
seats through the three cornered con-
test.
Such contests are largely elimi-
mated in the present elections and
this may give the Liberals sufficient
gains to balance those oft the Union
lists. On the whole II seems likely
that the new house of commons will
meet with the position Of the parties
practically unchanged.
