ment elected at the polls Tues

All of the London newspa-
pers. with one exception, today
are acclaiming the defeat of
the Macdonald labor govern
ment. The exception is the
liberal London Star, which frank
" deplores the victory of the
Conservatives because Of its eff
feet on the Liberal party.
The other papers, however warn
the Conservatives that the Labor
party still lives. The London Stan
dard calls attention to the fact
that labor polled the largest vote
it ever before received. 1t says
that the opportunity is now pre-
sented to Stanley Baldwin to form
one of the strongest government of
modern times. The Standard tells
Mr.. Baldwin to set his government
ITO a work which will render obso-
lete, years hence, the idea of class
war upon which socialism depends
for spiritual energy"

investigators today in an effort to
SUPPORT Senator LaFoTlette's
charges of irregular practices by
the republican managers.
Further light on the celebrated
Tolbert patronage case in South

the United States civil servicr com
mission. RE told the committee

zen told by Joseph w. Tolbert, re-
publican national committeeman in
South Carolina, that he would get
MIN re-appointed postmaster "if
your heart and pocketbook will get
right" He also testified that Ma
jor James w. Bradford, at Sumter,

ed from assistant postmaster to

who was supposed to be a collec-
tor for Tolbert." Another case

clared, had been requested to pay

Germs holding denatured alcohol
