VICTORY BETTER
THAN EXPECTED

London. Dec. %, (BFit-
ish Wireless Service. )-Premier
Lloyd George and the coalition gov
ernment won a more sweeping vic
tory in the general election than
had been expected.
Not only was II. H Asquith, for

In the defeat of Reginald MCKen-

Simon, Herbert Samuel and Thorn
as McKinnon Wood, the front of the
opposition bench is deprived of all
its principal occupants.
There have been suggestions that
Asquith might retire from politics
as a result of his defeat, but this
view is not encouraged by his per
sonal friends. Should he retire,
however, he probably would be sue
ceeded in the Liberal leadership by
McKenna or Sir John Simon.
While the Labor party as a whole
has strengthened its numerical fol-
lowing in parliament, some of its
more important members have lost
their seats. The most notable de-
feat was that of Arthur Henderson
the de facto leader of the "Old
guard" of the Labor party. The de-
feated women candidates include
Miss Christobel Pankhurst, Mrs.
