prominent figure in senate debate on

will be reconsideration of last Satur-

Ottawa, Ontario, Dec. 1S.-The Unicn government has been returned and conscription confirmed by the Canadian domestic vote.
 Returns received from all over Canada indicate that the government of Sir Robert Borden has been elected to administer Canadian affairs for an- other live years. and that Sir Wilfrid Laurier Is as definitely defeated as in the reciprocity election of 1911.
 Returns indicate that the French part of Canada has gonc heavily for Sir Wilfrid LAurier, and English con- stituencies have returned men who will support the Union government measures, including conscription. and maintain Premier Borden in oAace.
 The vote has been very heavy everywhere. and the n1atot4tios are very large. The soldier vote, which will not be aSceTtaincd fer some days. will increase the already heavy ma jorities of government members, and will probe bly increase the number or government supporters elected.
