GOVERNMENT TAILS GAINING POWER AS FINAL COUNT MADE
Returns Prove Fallacy Of Pre-Election Predictions
 Of Ireland

DUBLIN Sept. 1.--eBy Associated Press.)-The results of the Irish elections have been more favorable for the stability of the government than was anticipated.
 The election speeches of the min isters and the articles in the press supporting them revealed an apprehension of the return of a large number of membe CTS representing sectional interests, and it was not expected the republicans would make any considerable show. What was feared was the election of several independent groups.
 The returns nave proved the fall lacy of these forecasts. The farmers, though they form large pro- portion of the population, mad poor poll; labor collapse, mainly owing to divisions In its ranks, and the inde- pendents, except so gar as repre- sented by the old unionists, boiled much short of expectations.
 The voters iseiy followed the ministerial appeal to vote on the great national issue, but the result was double-e edged, in that the repub- licans as well as Free Staters ig- nored sectional claims, and Eamonn DeValera's demonstration, which re- ! suited in his arrest, proved more ef- fective than even he had hoped. AHAAihiiAabAHS lHS O1 the proportional representation sys- ! tenn and treating all first preference votes as q plebiscite, cit is realized that of the first 756,000 votes, Presi- dent Cosgrave's men boiled roughly | fictory of less than two to one over the party whose principals are all either in jail or on the run, evading arrest.
 The votes remaining to be count ed, totaling about another quarter million are not expected to modify this proportion seiict sly and 1t is thus ascertained from the feelings of the minority were marked not only by the total number of votes polIed, but by the high number of first preference given to notable per- sonalities in the armed fight against the Free State.
 DeValera, Dan Breen, Austin Stack and Ernest O'Malley are all in jail, and all were elected.
 The net result of the whole con- test Is to re- e-establish the Cosgrave ministry to security in power. When the final results are reached the government will surely have nearly
 half of the 153 seats in the house. and they can count with certainty for their reappointment on all. or nearly all, of the farmers and inde- pendent representatives.

MOVE MADE TO PUT
 HOUSE ON RECORD. ON SUNDAY CLOSING
Governor Brandon Urges Gen. eraI Observance Of La
 Dor Day
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
 THE A(tE-HERALn 7 Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 1 j

Friends and foes of Sunday closing Legislation will probably go on record in the house of representatives before the close of another week, as has already been done by the members of the senate.
 While the senate has twice defeated Sunday bill by one vote, the house of representative has not been called upon to vote on such a measure. The committee on revision of laws has made a special order for the forty ninth legislative day of the bill of Representative Sollie prohibiting baseball and motion pictures on Sum day. The committee has been re- quested informally by members of the house to rescind this action and re- port the bill, but has so far failed to do so. Representative Bealle of Tuscaloosa gave notice on the last legislative day that he would on the next day make motion In the house calling on the committee to report the bill. It is expected that an effort will be made to get the house on record when the vote is taken on this mo- tion.
