B0NAR LAW HAS
HEAVY MAJORITY.
Conservatives TO Have 85 Seats Over
Opponents When Commons Meets;
Was Big Surprise in Face

my The United prcn.l

London. Nov. 1i.-With n clear
majority of S5 seats over all other
political parties in parliament, Pre-
mier Bonar Law is to have ample
opportunity to test his policy OF
tranquility" when commons con-
venes next Monday.
The Conservatives won tremen-
dous victory; a victory that was a
surprise TO the country coming as
II did after early announcement OF
successes of the Labor party. Heavy
voting in the Industrial districts had
put many labor candidates into Of
flee early. but when returns from
outlying districts came In. Britain's
general election of Wednesday
proved to have been something In
the nature of Conservative land
slide.
Bonar Laws government will be
unhampered for the present; his
majority makes II possible for him
to rule parliament In as autocratic
fashion as did Lloyd George while
at the helm of the coalition govern
ment
The little Welsh ex-premier was
not downcast by the result, how
ever. He was returned himself and
he will have about him in the house
a little group Of National Liberals
which may prove the nucleus of an
efficient opposition.
For the moment, Labor is to be
His Majesty's opposition" Labor
candidates polled more votes and
won more seats than all of the three
other parties that contested Con-
servative supremacy togetl er. But
Arthur Henderson, former member
of the coalition government, a prom
inent labor leader, was defeated and
the labor party will be hard put
long to hold the leadership of the
opposition away from Lloyd George.
Among the prominent candidates
defeated were Winston Churchill,
Captain The Hon. Freddie Guest,
Sir Hamar Greenwood. Edwin Mon
tagu, DR.. Addison and Sir Douglas
MacLean.

Greatly encouraged by newspaper

President Harding indirectly as
stating he believes public sentiment

Harding has written to Mrs. Corinne

Dry leaders declared It was impossi-
bic that Harding should have ad-
vocated modification OF the law TO
permit the return of beer and wines,
and said that II he mentioned modi-
fication at all. It was In connection
with technical changes he believes
should be made In the law to meet
some of the popular objections
against present day enforcement
methods.
The wets, on the other hand, were
jubilant over what they regarded as
n clear acknowledgment from the
executive that the dray statutes are
losing favor and that liberalization
Is in sight.
The vets will seek to capitalize
Harding's attitude to the utmost in
