Manhattan. His election came af-
er a discussion Monday night. He

served in the senate from 1918 to

district. Mr.. Lynch was
born in West New Brighton and
educated in the public schools IN
that place. He is about forty years
old.
A question had arisen whether
hinder an amendment of the charter
Recently passed he may not by vir-
Tue of yesterdays election be en-
titled to serve Mr.. Cahills full terIG.
The opinion of the corporation
counsel is that this is superseded
by a provision in the general cleo
ton law limiting the term to the
end of the current year. He must
run in the fall election to retain the
office for the next four years should
he desire to enter the contest.
The selection of the new borough
president has the endorsement of
the Richmond County Democratic
General Committee who will meet
Dsoon to elect a successor to Mr..

cent appointments made by Mr..
cahill in the borough are expected
TO stand. Alderman Rendt. it has
been said, is slated to be named the
commissioner of public works,
which there had been some talk
that Mr.. Lynch was to have been
named by Mr.. Cahill. Former All
herman John J. O'Rourke, who Yves
named deputy commissioner Of
public works recently, will remain
IN that position it is said.

 T invite your support in a battle for national interests" Mir Lloyd George told an audience at KetterinE.
 At Leicester. he said: You proba- bly have heard that they don't like me at the Carlton club. That fact seems to have added to the number of my friends, not only at Leicester. but along the route. I have never witnessed such remarkable demonstrations.
 We won the war together and peace was being helped by all sections. We were pulling through together. and now the new Carlton club orders-party first No wonder some of the ablest and most experienced leaders of the conservative party protested against that order and decline to carry it out. D
 The liberal association at Noting ham presented MT. Lloyd George with an address to which the little Welchmar replied that he was standing for nation. al unity. At SuffieId he told the crowC that gathered about his car that the Carlton club had deliberately wrecked the organization which had won the l war.
