DOWNFALL OF
LLOYD GEORGE
MAIN FEATURE
Bonar Law Commands
Majority. of 80 Over
All Parties Com
bined.
(By Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The long drawn
out fight between former Premier Lloyd
George and Sir George Younger has for
the time ended with victory for the
chairman of the unionist party. Younger
and his adherents staked their political
fortunes at the famous Carlton club
meeting which smashed the coalition
and sent Lloyd George into the wilder
ness on the conviction that the country
was ripe for a return to straight party
politics and in the firm belief that the
nation would support their conviction by
sending the. conservatives to the house
of commons with a good working ma
jority.
Their confidence has been amply justi-
fed. Yesterdays elections have returned
a parliament with almost the same over
wheilninG performance of conservatives
as the last parliament elected in 1918 on
a wave of grateful enthusiasm to Lloyd
George as winner Of the war
In the new parliament Premier Bonar
Law will command a majority over all
parties combined of approximately So
While this cannot be properly described
as a landslide, as the conservatives at
the time of the dissolution of parliament
numbered about $50, It amounts almost
to the same thing, considering the pc
culiar circumstances of the time and the
n1Sn hopes nei0 by LnS iaDOT ana liberal
parties Of the return of the country to
progressive views, and it may be sup
posed that the conservatives themselves
hardly expected such favorable results
Means Few Changes.
1t means a parliament with little
change exeept that Mr.. Bonar Law re-
places Mr. Lloyd George as prime min
lister and that the former premier's at
tenuated following of national liberals,
reduced by the elections to under so,
will presumably henceforth be in oppo-
sition instead of working in cooperation
with the conservatives.
The downfall of Lloyd George is the
outstanding feature of the elections The
coalition liberals at the dissolution num-
bered 129; they are represented in the
new parliament by only A members
There will be many regrets among the
former prenier's admirers that he failed
to take the advice of some of his we'll
wishers and retire temporarily or alto
gether from the political stage.
The Asquithian liberals lately i'm
proved their position, rising from 81 in
the old parliament to 81 in the new, but
they did not do so we'll as they expected.
On the other hand, labor, although 1t
failed to fulfill the high hopes the party
entertained at dissolution, has done ex-
ceedingly well, rising from 76 to 176
seats. 1t is generally believed that labor
would have done far better but for the
tactical mistake in its advocacy of a |
capital levy.

nlicate. one copy to so to the purchaser

bv merchants, after which they will be
turned over tc the farmers. who will
deliver potatoes, with the orders, to the
merchants in wholesale quantities.

be more convenient for both producer
and purchaser. and will in no way dis
turb the channels Of trade. 1t will also
eliminate the necessity CT the farmers
having to hunt up individual buyers for
sweet potatoes in small quantities.
While orders for any quantity of po-
tatoes viii be accepted, it is requested
that buyers order at least a bushel If
poasibie Delivery will be made imme-
diately II desired, Mr., Smith stated last

Fer some time the consul general Of

citizens under the most outrageous cir
cumstances. said MT. Ruiz. Most Of
the reports have come from Hidslgo

Weslaco, by a group Of Is men.
There have been in this state many
cases Of murder of defenseless citizens
of Mexico under the most abhorrent cir
which have never been
given publicity Consul Ruiz said in a
written statement.
THE consul at Weslaco reports that
zarate was taken by a mob and killed
after he had been taken into custody by
the local authorities. The consul reports
that Zarate was arrested because he had
struck a man in seif-defense. having
been attacked by a man who vas at
