GEORGE
Wins AT POLLS
Coalition to Have 800 Seats-Lab0r
Party Strong Mrs. Pank.
hurst to Get JOb2

London, Suncay, Dec. 15.-Con-
sidering the novel conditions under
which yesterdays elections were
held and the necessity of waiting
for a fortnight before the ballots
are counted, there is very little in
diligence in speculation as to the
result It is universally admitted
10 be almost a foTeg0ne conclusion
that the Lloyd George coalition has
been victorious and will probably
have some four hundred members
in the new house OF commons.
Naturally, with many millions Of
new voters, women as well as men,
there is ample room for surprise
and the government party will feel
doubts as to its success, even if sew
eral members of the cabinet in
Guiding Sir Eric Geddes, first lord
of the admiralty; Sir Albert H..
Stanley, president of the board Of
trade, and Edward Short chief
secretary for ireland, have been
elected. Greatest curiosity centers,
however. on the strength of the
lai n vote, which under new CON
ditions, is an unknown quantity.
While it is believed that the women
of South England mainly supported
coalition conditions, it would be no
surprise if it is found that in the
midland and northern Industrial
countries, the women Yate largely
supported labor
1t was because the labor party
was determined to test its strength
that it refused to compromise with
Liberal candidates in three
corneTed constituencies, although
such a compromise would have
given the anU-coaliti0nists much
greater strength in the new parlia-
ment The labor party hopes to
win over one hundred seats but It
is believed that, had the elections
been postponed until after the
treaty Of peace was signed the
party would have secured at least
zoe.
Political speculation is chiefly
concerned with the construction
of the cabinet after the election.
One rumor credits Premier Lloyd
George with favoring the appoint
ment OF the first woman minister.
The name of Pankhurst is men
