OVERWHELMINGLY
Win IN ENGLAND
Tories Sweep Into Power
With a Two to One Major
ity Over All Parties.

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The British
inaaple put a crushing end to the
iirst experiment in Labor Party Gov
eminent in Great Britain by return
ing the Conservative Party to power
with one of the largest majorities
any party has had within the last
century. The Conservative Party, as
the result Of the election of De-
oember 6, last, sank to its lowest
ponition, since the realignment OF
rarties over ninety years ago at
the time of the Reform Bill. as
lesult of its high tariff program an
nounced by then Premier Baldwin
when he went to the people. Dis
carding the high tariff issue, it came
back with majority over all parties
of nearly two to one.
Returns up to four o'clock this
afternoon gave the Conservatives
S59 seats, the Labor Party 1877, the
! Liberal Party 81 and all other
parties IL, making 545 Of the total
membership of SIS in the House OF
Commons. 1t is likely that the
Conservatives Will retain their per

elections.
Premier Macdonald and former
Premier Lloyd George were among
those elected. Former Premier IL. II.
Asquiuh was defeated.
Industrial Districts Turn
Conservative.
The thickly populated industrial
centers of the North and Mfdlands
abandoned the Liberals and Labor
ties and got under the Tory banner
as did the shipping centers and
small towns and villages in the
farming areas. The Labor Party re-
tained its grip on the congested
areas in the urban centers such as
Glasgow and London, but even some
af the districts in these centers
shifted from Socialism to Conser-
vatism.
Lady Astor Wins.
Only two among the fourteen
women candidates were elected, Lady
Astor and Miss Wilkinson. Among
the women defeated were included
Miss Margaret Bondfield. member
Of Premier MacDonald's Government.
