Gain of Conservatives Not
Enough to Overcome
Majority.
CONTEST IS STILL ON
First Days Results Believed to
Indicate What Final Out
come Will Be.

London, Jan. 17.-In the election to-
day 1O4 seats are contested. Last
year the unionists held 80 OF those,
liberals 81 and laborites 16. John E.
/ Redmond, for Waterford City, and six
other Irish nationalists were returned
unopposed today.
Conservatives Admit Defeat.
| London, Jan. 17.-Sunday gave a
welcome respite from the strenuous
work at the election stations and an
opportunity for calm reflection over
the prospects of both parties striving
to gain control of the government.
Although both sides preserve a san
guine air Of confidence, IT is evident
that the conservatives have abandoned
hope that their party will form the
next government. The utmost they
dare TO expect is that the liberal ma
jority will be reduced in the next par
lament so as to place the liberals at
the mercy of the nationalists.
Majority for Liberals.
An estimate made yesterday after
careful calculation by a well known
unionist, based on Saturdays pollings,
gives the liberals and laborites a clear
majority of 90 or 100 over all parties.
which would provide the liberal gov
ernment with a good working major
ity Many of the unionists, however.
are less despondent. They do not BE-
lieve that the liberals will finish the
election with so good record as this.

ended Saturday night with neither
party in a commanding position. The
results of the polling tend to confirm
the forecast that the liberals will re
tain control of the government with a
greatly reduced majority. The union
lists have gained an encouraging mum
Der of seats. although less than the
% which they expected to take away
from the liberals out OF the "a balloted
for.
Against Liberals.
The popular vote goes strongly
against the liberals. The members Of
AlldL party WHO uOlu seats Won Iueiu
by majorities ranging from 80 to so
per cent below their majorities in
1906, except in a few boroughs where
special conditions figured in the cam
paign. The popular votes polled by the
liberals for the IL London seats show
a stronger hold on power than in tbs
provinces. The majority OF the Lon

STATEHOOD | BOON
 TO ALL INDUSTRIES

There are some who have been lukewarm Tn their desire for statehood. believing that the expense of maintaining a state govern ment will increase taxation, says the Tucson Cit izen.
 Statehood will bring great impetus to every industry in Arizona. There will be a great influx of capital and in- creased immigration, all of which will increase the tax able wealth of the territory within the next two years.
 By the time the first assess mept roll of the new state IS ready to be made up, Arizona will already have advanced to such an extent in taxable wealth h at the increased expense brought about by a state government will not be noticed.
 This has been the experi- ence of other territories upon being admitted to the Union and because of her wonderful natural resources awaiting de- velopment, Arizona will grow more rapidly in population and wealth than some of the older states.

 But the national monument prop ositioo can be carried to extremes For example, if all the people in Ati- zons were to devote all the time dur ling the rems'pder Of tn eir lives tO an effort to injure the Grand Canyon of 1 atiIODh pI ueib~b tt sO he tO u1hE itt beauty, they could not make any more hesdwsy on the job than sC many ants.
