dance of the Entire Nos club held
last night in the Ten Thousand

British LabOrite
Party Defeated
Continued From Page l.

scarcely credit the almost complete
destruction of their political ma
chine.
David Lloyd George, the aging,
astute leader of the once great Lib
eral party, was equally repudiated
by the voters. He had urged his
remaining supporters to vote Labor,
but they voted Conservative almost
unanimously. Sir John Simon and
Sir Herbert Samuel led the bulk of
what was once the Liberal party
in Commons, into the national gov
ernment fold. They accepted the
rational governments program for
q tariff, forsaking the Liberal free
trade principles. Simon did SO
wholeheartedly and Samuel more
reluctantly.
Labor was left without a leader
in the house. Lloyd George was left
without a party 1t was believed
possible the fragments of the Labor
representation might accept him as
their leader-the leader of a sha-
dow opposition.

the imposition of a tariff almost
certain. The depreciation of the
pound sterling led some financierS
to think a tariff wall of any height
would not be necessary. 1t was be-
lieved further, that preference to
imperial products, or a form of free
trade within the empire, would be
attempted.
Labor'S defeat was so sweeping
that apparently many unemployed
and others affected by government
economies voted for the nationa.
candidates.
The defeat of leaders of the late
Labor government began with Arth-
lr Henderson, former foreign secre-
tary and MacDOnald's successor as
Labor leader. 1t included all prom
inent members of the last Labor
cabinet except George Lansbury, be-
Whiskered and genial first commits
sioner of works.
Leaders Fall
Henderson's colleagues who fell
with him included:
Labor First Lord of the Admiralty
A. V. Alexander, Minister of Labor
Margaret Bondtield, Minister OF
War Tom Shaw, Home Secretary j.
r. Clynes, Minister of Transport
Herbert Morrison, Minister OF
Health Arthur Greenwood, Miss Ell
len Wilkinson and numerous less
prominent members of the party.
The electors showed no sympathy
for the regeneration program OF Sir
Oswald MoSley, wealthy young aris-
tocrat who founded the new party
with the idea of reforming the
British political system. None OF
Sir Oswalds candidates, not even
himself. was elected.
Communists Jared even worse. The
II Communist candidates were de-
feated and 10 of them polled so few
votes they forfeited their election
deposit.
The national government was eX-
pected to take the initiative in call
ing international conferences on
war debts and reparations and the
silver and gold questions. j. Fl.
Thomas, secretary for dominions
committed the government to such
action in a statement made during
the election campaign.

Harmless fun will find no oppos-

Juvenile tank in the county jail,
the chief asserted.
Another angle of the Halloween

from out of town, have paid their
