Show Baldwin Party Repudated London, A crushing and unexpected unexpect-ed defeat was administered to Premier Pre-mier Stanley Baldwin and the conservative con-servative party in the general election. elec-tion. Late Friday 324 labor and liberal lib-eral candidates had been elected. This was more than a majority of the 015 seats in the house of commons nnd at that time sixty-seven constituencies constitu-encies remained to be heard from. One of the striking features of the defeat of Baldwin, who must now resign, re-sign, was that labor candidates, Btanding on a platform of levy on capital, gained forty seats. David Lloyd George, flashing about the country with his vitriolic attacks on the proposed tariff the issue on which Baldwin called tho election, was another an-other contributing factor. The conservatives, con-servatives, with 252 candidates returned re-turned Friday afternoon were assured tif a plurality. Labor took second place, with the combined Asqulth and Lloyd George liberals third. |
