PARLIAMENT IS NOW
 FORMALLY ENDED
England Likewise Is Filled With
 Political ASpirantS

London, Oct, 26,--tR Associated Press. king George dissolved par lament today by signing royal proclamation at q meeting of the privy council at Sandringham The proclamation will be published in the official gazette this afternoon va eating every parliamentary seat in the country.
 Oratory by aspirants for seats in the new parliament already fills the land By the end of the week the electorate fight will be in full swing. Thirteen hundred candidates have up to now entered the campaign for membership in the house of com mons. Of this about 425 are con- servatives. In round numbers labor has 400 candidates in the field, the Asquithian or free liberals 300 and the Lloyd Georgian or national lber- als 200. The little Welshman who lost his post as premier last week Is vigorously striving to increase the number of candidates under his ban ner.
 315 For Majority.
 Q ODldlIl dI OuiIlSht IildJOllly III the new parliament any one party would have to elect 315 candidates. It will be seen, therefore, that the conservatives and laborites are the only two with enough candidates in the field to obtain an independent majority. Their organizations have been whipped into far better shape than those of the other parties.
 The laborite manifesto holds a prominent place in all the morning papers today. They emphasize its leading points in heavy type head lines showing how unpalatable the labor platform is to most of the pa rers. Only two of them devote a full editorial to the manifesto.

 Interest Tn Glasgow.
 One of the main centers of interest in the whole election is Glasgow. where the new premier, Andrew Bon ar Law, has two opponents in his campaign for reelection as the mem Ter from the central division of that city. Former Baile Mitchel is his opponent on the labor ticket and Sir George Paish is opposing him as a free liberal.
 Labor is making very strong campaign among the large population of Glasgow. A present only one of the 5 constituencies in that city is represented by a labor member, but the party has for a long while con- ducted earnest propaganda in the big industrial communities and it seems to fulfill it's hope of gaining a larger representation.
 One of the candidates in Glasgow is the communist John MacLean, whose term of 12 months in prison for sedition expired yesterday. Treat ed as a political prisoner MacLean devoted great part of his time be- hind the bars to the study of politi- cal matters, Coming at this time his new freedom brings to mind the fact that he was released from conflne- ment while undergoing a similar pun ishment in 1918 in order that he could participate in the elections of that year
 Reports that Premier Bonar Laws program for administrative depart ments might relegate the works of the ministry of labor to some other de- partment have strongly aroused the leaders of the labor party, who will
