KEY VOTE IS WON
BY CHAMBERLAIN
Lack Of Capable Labor and
Liberals Leaders Is
Blamed.
By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON. June 1l-England's cleo
torate may not be satisfied with New
lille Chamberlain conservative gov
ernment but it has temporarily aban-
doned hope of finding capable leader
ship in either the Liberal or the Par.
liamentary Labor party.
This seems to be the simplest expla-
nation Of the political upset which
occurred yesterday at Stafford when
the Conservative candidate won what
was touted as the key by-election by q
greater majority than the Conserva-
tives enjoyed there at the 1885 general
election. This is the first time since
1885 that the Conservative party has
increased its general vote and is the
third straight by-election to be won
by the government. This victory.
coupled with those recently scored at
Ayiesbury and Westfulham, is inter-
preted as meaning that there has been
a DEFINITE swing OF opinion since the
early months of this year when the
Labor1tes won three in a row at Is
wich. Westfulham and Lichfleld.
This election was hotly contested
by both parties and was fought prin.
clpally on the question of British for
elen policy. Because OF general dis.
content with the lethargy of the pres
ent government, which has risen to
a high pitch as a result OF recent
bombing of British shipping in Spain,
1t was generally thought that Labor
could win the day. The fact that it
did not is the worst kind of insult to
the present leadership of the Labor
party in the House of Commons and
certainly does not mean that the
governments foreign policy is gem
orally approved by the British public.
There have been 49 by-elections to
I'LL vacancies in the House Of Com.
mons since the general elections in
1895. Labor has reeained nine seats
and held six. the Conservative party
has won 80 and two have been gained
by independent candidates. OF the
SIS seats in the House of Commons.
the Conservatives now hold 377, COM
pared to 387 after the general election:
the National Liberals. 80. compared to
"a; the National Laborites, Z. against
8; Labor, 1853, against 154: Opposition
Liberals, 20. the same number they
won in 1885; the Independent Labor
party, &; the Communists, /, and the
so-called Independents. IL seats,

that he was casting about for an ad-
ministration candidate to run against
Gov. Hurley, Democrat, a critic OF
the New Deals child labor and food
control policies.
The Presidents eldest son made no
comment about the widely published
reports. except to say several months
ago he believed those who need secure
and good jobs, those who want profits
in their businesses. those who want
security In their homes and those who
want to see Massachusetts, continue to
forge ahead, expect a State admins

Paris Hopes End of Dispute on

Way for Pact.

PARIS. June 1l.-France laid plans
today for a military alliance with
Turkey to gain a dominant position

of war.
Turkey agreed yesterday to open
negotiations for settlement of the
long-standing difficulties over the

election disorders between Turks and
Arabs resulted in martial law.
The French hoped an agreement
would clear the way for a military
pact which would have two purposes:
l. Assurance Turkey would not in

her Russian ally by use of her forti-
ncatlons OF the Dardanelles.
2. Protection of the Gulf of Alex

Dardanelles Straits. France has needed
