LONDON, August 29.-First returns
from the Irish elections indicate even
a more sweeping victory for the Free
State candidates than their support
ers had predicted Nearly a score of

ing almost all the cabinet ministers.
have won seats by large majorities,
while up to early today the election
OF only three republicans was as
sured.
The government so far has eight
cen successful candidates to about
half that number for the other par
ties. and If the present ratio is matS-
tanned it may have clear majority
In the Free State parliament instead
of the plurality which its supporters
expected.
The English press generally re-
frainS from comment on the election
until more returns are in. but the
Daily Express already characterizes
il as a republican rout and in an edi-
torial says De Valera has failed at
the ballot box as completely as he
failed in the field.
The Morning Post says the govern
ment party is naturally pleased with
the return of President William T.
Cosgrave and nearly all of his minis
ters on the first count. On the other
hand, the republican organizers are
rontending that the small poll has
been unfavorabl to their party.
The Daily telegraph considers that
the most satisfactory feature of the
election has been the absence of seri-
GUS disturbances.
The balloting in Cork was more
favorable to the government than had
been expected according to the
Times. which also explains the sue
to the admiration in which the South
Dublin working classes hold her.

tive of the Daily Express: THE re-
