Labor Election Forecast as
One of Bitterest/fn Re
cent Years.
London, /
Oct. 10.—(By the Asso
ciated Press.)—The election October
29 is forecast as the bitterest of
recent years. Following the dissolu
tion of parliament after the labor
■government’s defeat, the liberals and
conservatives seem determined to
prevent another laborite government.
Less than 24 hours after the spec
tacular defeat of England’s first
labor government in the house of
commons, the king’s speech dissolv
ing parliament ihad been read in the
house of lords, the commons had
taken final adjournment and
mier Ramsay MacDonald had
war on the opposition parties which
turned him out of office in the
election speech of the campaign.
The procedure of dissolving
liament was completed late
night when the king signed a
clamation of dissolution.
England will go to the polls on
October 29 to register public opin
ion on the nine months of socialist
rule by a minority government. Mac
Donald announced the date of the
election in a statement to the com
mons, following a conference with
the king, in which the royal assent
was obtained for a dissolution of
parliament and a general election.
