aid.
AS returns from yesterdays vot.
ing neared completion late today, the
Labor party rode on crest of popu-
lar endorsement towards becoming
the largest single party in Britain.
On the basis of the few districts yet
to be reported, it was almost I'M
possible for the Conservatives to get
more seats in parliament than Labor.
Labor's mighty fight for ma
jority over the other parties in the
house of commons, however, was
close up until almost the last minute.
There still remained the chance OF
a majority for Macdonald, so that
he could form a government with
reasonable prospects of holding pow
er.
At 1925 p. m, with o8S divisions
completes the standing Of the parties
was as follows:
Laborite 287.
Conservatives 24S.
Liberals 48.
Others ).
This includes eight seats uncon-
tested.
With q seats still outstanding, 10
of which Labor is not contesting,
the maximum Labor could obtain in
the house would be 304, while the
Conservatives could not obtain more
than 297.
Complete returns were not yet
available, but Labor's victory re-
suited in a lineup in the house of
commons wherein Labor would hold
approximately 800 seats, the Con-
servatives second with from IL to 20
fewer seats, the Liberals about 4S
to so, and the independents and
>sAors about five.
