DRAFT LAW WINS
IN CANADA VOTING
French and German Elements
Oppose-SoIdier Vote
I cIinches Victory.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA. Ont, December is. - The
fEngIish-speaking sections of Canada
yesterday voted solidly for conscrip-
tion that the Dominion may continue
70 be represented on the lighting line
in the strength it has shown there up
TO the present time. The French and
the German-speaking parts of the
country voted against the Borden
government and for the return of Sir
wilfrid Laurier as prime minister. The
predominance of the English speaking
element in the Dominion makes the re-
turn of the union government with Sir
Robert Borden at its head a certainty.
Tremendous majorities for successful
candidates on both sides constitute the
striking feature of the election So
great are the majorities of the Borden
candidates and SO large are the ma
torities given liberal candidates in the
liberal constituencies that the soldier
vote, when it is received and applied
to the domestic vote, will make little
difference In the total number of mem
bers elected to support Sir Robert Bor-
den, or his opponent, Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier.
Soldier Vote Increases Majority.
will be to increase the majority of the
government from about thirty to some
forty seats, and will make it easier
for the Borden ministry to carry on
its administration. Where the soldier
vote is likely to work changes is in
the case of several Nova Scotia rulings,
where majorities for liberal members
of less than 200 on the domestic re-
turns are likely to be overcome and re-
versed by the vote of the men in the
trenches. There are also one or two
such seats in doubt in Ontario.
The decisive character of the Borden
victory relieves the apprehension that
was felt that II either side was re-
turned, by a narrow margin the strong
feeling over the CONSUMPTION issue
might lead to serious disorders in the
the near future. Without the soldier
vote being considered the government

province of Quebec, which elects sixty

1orities. Only in three English-speak-
ing rulings of Montreal were unionist
candidates returned for the whole of
the province of Quebec. The adjoining
province Of Ontario elects eighty-two
members and is returning seventy, or
moro, for the unionist government.
Canada west of the great lakes is
showing an even more striking result.

at considerable cost to themselves.
They have as their reward the graft
