hearted and practical support to the
League of Nations, to fulfill the obi
cation England has undertaken abroad
but not extend her commitment, but
preferably to curtail them, and TO
maintain friendship and good under
standing with the United States.
GLASGOW, Oct. 26.-"I will do my
utmost to secure the well being of in
dustry, which is the real foundation
OF the country" Premier Bonar Law
stated here today in his first campaign
speech.
The new premier received rousing
ovation when he appeared before mem
bers of the Royal Exchange at noon
his speech was very brief.
A cordial demonstration marked his
arrival at the railway station. He is
expected to speak at least twice dur
ing his stay here, once early in the
afternoon and again in the evening,
devoting the latter address to an out
line of his platform.

dissolving parliament was signed by
King George this morning at a privy
council held at Sandringham, the roy.
al estate in Norfolk The proclama-
ton will be gazetted this afternoon.
LONDON. Oct. 26.-Oratory by as
pirants for seats in the new parlia-
ment fills the land. Thirteen hundred

campaign for membership in tho
house of commons. OF these, about
425 are conservatives. In round num-

man who lost his post as prime min
lister last week is vigorously striving
to increase the number of candidates
under his banner
Need to Elect 3f5
To obtain an outright majority in
the new parliament any one party
would have to elect 315 candidates.
1t will be seen therefore that the Con-
servatives and Laborites are the only
two with enough candidates in the
field to obtain an independent major-
ity. Their organizations have been
whipped into far better shape than
those of the other parties. The labor
.ite manifesto holds a prominent place
in all the morning papers today. They
emphasize its leading points in heavy
type headlines, showing how unpalable
the labor platform is to most of the
papers.
Only two of them devote a full ed
itorial to the manifesto. The Morn
ing Post dubs it dreary document
and rather obvious failure to dis
semble the iron claws of communism
in the nice woolen glove of charity"
See Big Task.
The Westminster Gazette admits
that there is much in the laborite
manifesto which the Liberals readily
endorse, but says the task to which
labor has set itself is herculean and
would need the work of many pariia-
ments to complete. Regarding the
Laborite proposal to fix higher Ievies
upon capital, the Gazette DECLARES taht
whether or not this was practicable
or desirable during the boom period
Of 1919, it is neither desirable nor
practicable in the present period of de-
preston"
One of the main centers of interest
in the whole election is Glasgow.
where the new prime minister, Andrew
Bonar Law has two opponents in his
campaign for reelection as the mem
Der from the central division of that
city. Bailie Mitchell is his opponent
on the labor ticket and Sir George
Paise is opposing him as a free Lib
eral.
Strong Campaign
Labor is making very strong cam
paign among the large population of
Glasgow. AT present only one of the
fifteen constituencies in that city il
represented by labor member. but
the party has for long while conduct
ed propaganda in the big industrial
communities and it seems like to ful.
fill its hope of gaining a larger rep
resentation.
One of the candidates in Glasgow
is the communist, John MacLean.
whose term of twelve months>in pris.
on for sedition expired yesterday.
Treated as political prisoner Mac
Lean devoted great part of his time
