downfall OF their candidates in the
municipal elections throughout Eng.
land Wednesday, the Laborites intensi-
fed their political campaign with the
hope of making q better showing In
the general election for parliament
Nov. Is.
In Wednesdays balloting the Labor
ties lost 149 seats which they had pre-
viously held in London and about 100
seats which they had occupied in 80
boroughs outside the capital for the
most part in such large cities as
Manchester. Liverpool. Birmingham.
Derby. Nottingham, Plymouth, South
hampton and Portsmouth.
Although nominally considered
purely municipal issues, the local con-
tests some times are an indexto ex-
listing political feeling. This time the
races were watched with intense cur
fosity as a possible forecast of Iabor's
chances in the coming general cleo
ton.
The outcome of tne local elections
has certainly made Labor's prospect
FIR parliament very discouraging.
In some instances Laborite repre-
sentation was completely wiped out
in the municipal elections. but at other
polls Labor held its own and even
made few gains.
London was intensely hostile to La
boz. The general feeling in the capi-
tai was manifested by the way the vot-
ers flocked to the polls despite the
raw wind and furious rain.
The partisan interest for and
day than the attention focused on the
between the Lloyd Georgian
and the Conservatives. The
political writers really do not seem
10 know what is going on behind the |
scenes. Some of them say Sir George |
Younger has won his fight and that
Lloyd George has decided to abandon
MS idea of spreading the war
against the conservative. Others de- |
clare just as emphatically that the |
fallen premier has taken very deter
mined attitude and has decided to |
additional ca d d a e 8 |
against Conservatives. On the whole, |
however. the general tendency is to- |
ward the belief that the Lloyd George |
threat of reprisals will not be carried |
out.
Some observers profess to see a |
of harmony between Lloyd |
George and his former colleagues in
the statement made Wednesday by |
Sir Rbert S. Horne, who although he
was one of the most faithful followers
Of the little Welshman, informed a
Glasgow audience he was still a
Unionist, and that il elected he
would sit on the Unionist side of the
house and give his general support
% Prime Minister Bonar Law.
The illness of Lloyd George attracts
much attention. His cold and throat
rouble is said by some to really be
symptom of rundown health due to
atigue. That he is tired was OBJ
'ious to those who saw him during
lis recent visit to Scotland.
