twice that In the last election.
The results were coming in slowly
at u tonight, but were characterized
by the heav polling and an increase
IN the liberal and labor vote. 1t is al.
ready evident that the refusal Of the
labor party to enter into an election
pact with the liberals will lose seats
for both parties. A noticeable example
Of this was at Stockton-on. Tees, where
a Georgite liberal was elected with a
minority vote OF 1896, the combined
votes OF the opposing Asqunhian and
labor candidates being over 10000.
Children Cast Ballots.
Labor made a notable gain I'm the
Farnworth division OF the Lancashire,
where T. Greenall, labor. was elected
| with vote OF 1891. But this also
was a return with minority vote, he
being opposed by liberal and conserva.
tive candidates Labor's victory here
probably was due to Lancashire's re.
volt against the safeguarding OF the
industries bill
The spectacle Of children casting
ballots at an election was witnessed
IN several cases. This was possible
under the law which provides that If
name Is placed on the register Of
voters, even mistakenly. 1t must stand
unless challenged before election dav
In the Haywood and Ratcliff djyi.
sion boy Of 5. accompanied by his
mother, cast his vote At Hull. a lad
OF IL voted. He was stopped by
station but on convincing the officials
that his name was on the register he
was allowed to vote. In another case
the mother of year old infant which
had been mistakenly registered
avowed her intention of taking the
baby TO the polls to vote. This year.
as in the past. numerous Americans
residing in England found their names
on the register.
Centenarian Votes.
Mrs. Mary Foley OF Lincoln. who
celebrated her Tooth birthday last
May. was early az the polls. There
seemed to be a greet difference in the
extent 10 which the women voters In
the east end OF London were nc.
quainted with the big personalities In
the election. One canvasser declared
that the name Of Bonar Law was as
unfamiliar TO the women there as the
names OF the Pharaohs. The labor
leaders. Henderson and Clines, seemed
equally unknown but Mr.. Lloyd
George was famous. not as the Jnan
who won the war" but as "the dear
thing which got us pension"
Among the humorous occurrences
was the appearance at the West Lew.
