NJ otuU Correspondent o. IhE bun
OTTAWA. Ontario. Oct 27.-Out of five
bye elections for the Federal House to-
day four went against the Government.
In Carleton-Victoris, N. b.. formerly rep
resented by the Hon. +. d, Carvell, now
chairman of the Railway Commission,
farmers candidate. T. w. Caldwell, was
elected with q majority OF 1900. which
was increased by later returns. In
lengarry-Stormont, Ontario, formerly
held by a Liberal conscription man, an
other farmer, w. J. Kennedy, was re-
turned with a majority of 400, which
will be added to by later returns.
In Quebec East the seat formerly held
by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Ernest Lapointe,
Liberal, was elected over the labor man
by large majority. In 1917 Sir Wilfrid
was returned by over 5000 majority.
In the North Ontario constituency
one of the candidates died after nom
nation day, and the election had to be
deferred for a new nomination.
Returns are not in from Assiniboia,
Sask and Victoria, B. c., but it is con-
fidently expected that the farmers can
didate. o. f. Gould. will be returned
over the Liberal, w. II. Motherwell. That
seat formerly was held by a Liberal
Unionist. j. w. Turiff. now in the Sem
ate. Early returns gave Gould 800 ma

comfort for the administration in the
returns. Mackenzie King. Liberal
leader, was elected by reclamation for

administration in the general election
is taken TO be inevitable.
Everything points to a Liberal and
united farmers Parliament after the
next election. The life of the present
Parliament does not expire until the
end OF 1922. but it is doubtful II 1t holds
on that long.
The House was in committee all day
on the Grand Trunk bill. The opposl-
ton to the measure is being strength
ened daily. The bill will pass the
House, but is likely to be held up in the
Senate. There are four vacancies in
the upper house and they are likely to
be filed soon. The Government will
need the votes and possibly will still
lack a majority for the proposal
