LONDON, Feb. 25.-Herbert AS
quith, former premier, has been
elected to the house Of commons
from the Paisley district, 1t was off,
cially announced today.
The vote was announced as follows:
s. H. Asquith, liberal, II. 694.
j. M. Biggar laborite. II, $40.
J. A. d. MacKean, unionist, 3,77S.
The liberal victory, which again
puts Asquith back in his old position
as liberal leader in the house of COM

of the utmost Importance. 1t again
places him in line for the premier
ship, they pointed out.
Lady Bonham-C arter, daughter Of
the silver-haired old statesman, was
given much credit for his election.
Women claimed she conducted his
campaign throughout. They called
her the link between Paisley and
Picadilly.". She took an active part
in the campaign, her diacourses rang
ing from neck ties to votes.
At one meeting a group of laborite
hecklers gathered in corner Of the
hall and started a commotion. Lady
Carter silenced them with this re-
mark:
Don't you think all of this rather
ridiculous? Mr.. Mackean (the I'M
ionist candidate) lately attacked my
father for wearing green tie, finding
it in sympathy with the Sim Fem.
Mr. MacKean's stock in trade must be
getting threadbare.
"Just look at my fathers tie to-
night! Why, if this election is to be
won ON ties, | say frankly we're
beaten"
Roars of laughter with cries of mo
