BRITISH ELECTION
BITTERLY FOUGHT
Liberals and Conservatives De-
ternnined to End Labor Gov
ernment's Power

LONDON, Oct. 10.&(By The AS
ISOLATED Press. 1.-THE election Of
October 29th, following the fall Of
Britain's labor cabinet, and the dis
solution of Parliament by King
George, will be one of the bitteresC
ever fought on English soil, cer-
tainly within recent years.
The Liberal and Conservative par
ties are determined to prevent an
other laborite government and the
Mcdonald party is just as determine
ed to fight everyinch of the way.
Less than "a hours after the spec
tacular defeat of England's first
labor government in the house oil
commons, the kings speech dis
solving parliament had been read in
the house of lords, the commons had
taken its final adjournment and
Premier Ramsey Macdonald had be-
gun war on the opposition parties
which turned him out of office in
the first election speech Of the cam
paign.
England will go to the polls on DC
tober 90 to register public opinion
on the nine months of socialist rule
by minority government. Mac
Donald announced the date OF the
election in a statement to commons,
following a conference with tae
king, in which the royal assent was
obtained for a dissolution of parlia-
ment and a general election.
Parliament will reassemble on Oc-
tcber 81. The premier suggested
that the new parliament meet one
week or fortnight after the cleo
ton, which would have continued
the labor party in nominal power
for another five weeks, but the COM
mons decided to enforce the decision
of the electorate at the aacliest pos
sible moment. When parliament re-
convenes, the political complexion
of the new house will determine
whether the laborites shall continue
in office or make way for the con.
servatives.
