Atlanta (Lti-Ukdchj Witrw VOL. XXVII. NO. 10 LABOR SWAMPED . AS CONSERVATIVES | SWEEP EMI Asquith Among Losers. Lady Astor Is Winner. ( Liberals Fail LONDON, Oct. 30.—(8y the Asso ciated Press.) —The people of Great Britain have put a crushing end to their first experiment with a labor government by returning the conservative party to power in par liament with one of the strongest majorities recorded during the last century. t The standing of the parties at 5:30 i o'clock was: I Conservaties. 384 (gain 143); Labor, ; 148 (loss 40); Liberals, 40 (loss 104). Other parties, 13. Total, 585. In this sweeping political change, the Liberal party has sunk to its weakest position since the realign ment of British political parties more than 90 years ago, at the time of the reform bill. Unlike the labor government which has just fallen, the conserva tives will be able to rule as well as to govern, and perhaps thus stay fixed in the governmental saddle for the full legal parliamentary life of five years if they want to, so strong is the tide that has carried them to triumph. Gains Widespread • There was no extensive part of the country in which the conserva tives did not increase their strength. They recaptured long lost seats in * cities and rural districts alike. The thickly populated industrial centers of the north midlands abandoned both liberals and laborites to get under the Tory banner as did the great shipping centers and the small ' towns and villages, almost without ; exception, in every farming area of 1 the nation Labor held tight its grip upon i most of the congested areas in the 1 great urban centers such as Gias- | gow and London, but even some of 1 these shifted from socialism • eon- I ■ervatism. Labor has lost many seats, but it i ‘ remains to be seen whether it has ' lost ground with the electorate. It is' generally considered, however, that when all the votes are tabu lated, it is not likely to be found that labor has polled as many as it did a year ago. The luck that put many laborites I Into parliament last year through i minority pol’ on three-sided rights left them out of the house this year. Liberals Step Down Many liberals stepped down to permit conservatives to have straight fights with labor opponents and a great majority of the liberals who did not step down -were put down when the ballots were count ed. Their famous leader, H. H. Asquith, fell with his cohorts, losing to labor a seat that had been lib- * eral for nearly a century. Former Premier David Lloyd George got one of the greatest majorities of his career at. Carnarvon, but elsewhere in the British isles his followers were deserted by the electorate in depressing droves. The Labor party, unlike the Lib eral party, did not suffer the loss of any of its generals, Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, J. R. Clynes, lord of the privy seal; J. H. Thomas, colonial secretary; Philip Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer; Noel Buxton, minister of agriculture; Syndey Webb, president of the board of trade, and John Wheatley, min « which he himself had distributed to the district representatives. He said campaign contributions were “coin ing in very slowly.” Popular Vote Tremendous Despite their huge majority In number of seats the conservatives had polled only seven votes to each of labor's five in the 540 contests which had been tabulated late this evening. The total of popular votes even then was almost one million votes greater than the total for all of the contests last year, labor having in creased its strength by about 750,000 * votes, although losing seats. In the 540 contests fully tabulated Up to this evening, the total vote was 15,451 540 out of a possible elec torate of 19,276,359. Os these 7,172,- 168 voted for conservative candi dates, 5,136,450 voted for labor, 2,819,692 voted for the liberals, while more than 300.000 votes were scat tered to candidates other than those of the three main parties. Gains Continue The only change during the after noon which was not h change to con servatism, was scored by the Labor ite, J. Beckett, who defeated Cap tain Hilton Philipson, Liberal, for a scat which the Liberals held in the last parliament. The strength of the swing towards conservatism was indicated even * where the conservatives failed to oust their opponents. Most of the seats which the Laborites and Lib erals retained, they held with re duced majorities, while in the coun try districts the conservatives were getting greater majorities than in the previous election. In the crushing collapse-of the Lib eral strength everywhere, Mrs. Mar garet Wintringham, who was the first woman to follow in the foot steps of Lady Astor into the house of commons, lost her seat. Sir John Simon kept his from Yorkshire, while all around him other Liberals were losing theirs. Sir Robert Horne, for mer chancellor of the exchequer, also was re-elected. Sympathy for Asquith James Brown, the Ayrshire miner whom Prime Minister MacDonald made lord high commissioner for the church of Scotland, was re-elected. Everywhere sympathy was ex pressed with former Premier Asquith been use of his loss in parliament. E. ‘ R. Mitchell, the Laborite who put him out. remarked, in expressing the customary thanks to those who had gathered in the polling place, that he was sure his distinguished oppo nent knew that the result brought him no personal satisfaction what ever. Stanley Baldwin. conservative leader and former premier, will un doubtedly be asked to form a new cabinet.

CUMIN Slls Didn't Offer Enough for Ap pointment, One Man Was Told WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—The sen ate campaign fund committee was given Thursday a civil service com mission report in which Joseph W. Tolber, Republican national commit teeman for South Carolina, was charged with having offered the post mastership at Belton, S. C., to How ard A. Littlejohn “if your heart and pocketbook will get right.’’ The report was submitted by J. T. Doyle, secretary of the civil service commission, who made an investiga tion. He said Littlejohn refused to pay. D. A. Geer, a merchant of Belton, contributed $l5O toward Littlejohn’s appointment, Doyle said, but it was returned by the county chairman, who said R. R. Tolbert, brother of Joseph W. Tolbert, had directed him to return it. as $l5O would not get the Belton postoffice. “R. R. Tolbert said to Littlejohn that all money had to be paid to j him, because he was boss and had absolute control of every appoint ment in the district from a janitor to the highest appointive office,” the • Doyle report continued, “and that I any day that he (Littlejohn) would meet his request that he would wire 1 his name to the postoffice depart- j ment and that his appointment would | be published the next day.” Demands on Carriers R. R. Tolbert also told Littlejohn , to demand of the rural carriers that I they pay him SIBO each on or before ' June 10, 1924, and stated that he I was going to make this demand of i every rural carrier in the Third con- • gressional district. “R. R. Tolbert was, about that I time, nominated for United States | district attorney, but was not con- : firmed by the senate.” Joseph R. Grundy, chairman of the ‘ Pennsylvania ways and means com- . mittee, whose letters Senator La Fol- I lette first quoted in charging a Re- I publican “slush fund,’’ was notified > by the committee Thursday that he I “must” appear. Grundy was a witness before the I committee last week, and was asked to testify again. The committee was notified by his office that he could not be located. His reappearance vvas regarded as “imperative,” the committee message said. Acting Chairman Caraway an nounced he had received a tele gram from George K. Morris, the Republican state chairman in New York, refusing to appear before the committee “except on ceitain stipulations.” “I wish to state that the commit tee is not making any stipulations | or understanding with any witness,” j Senator Caraway said. “He can re- | fuse to come if he wishes to take the | consequences of refusal. I assume j there is something he does not care ' to expose.” The senator explained further that the sergeant-at-armn of the senate had received a telegram yesterday from Mr. Morris “saying if he had to come he thought the represent*- I fives of the Democrat’c and inde- | pendent candidates ought to cornel also.” “I told the sergeant-at-arms that that would be clone,” Senator Cara way continued. “Now I have a tel egram from Mr. Morris saying that he declines to come unless the Demo cratic and independent representa tives are here at tb” c--, —o time. • Will Not Concede “Os course, I am not willing to consent to any such demand, but I realize he is perfectly within his rights In asking that the others be called also.” Later Chairman Caraway inter rupted the hearing to say: “Perhaps my remark concerning Mr. Morris better not stand in fair- j ness to him.” The chairman did not indicate I whether he contemplated any fur- j ther steps in the matter, but turned I tiie committee's attention to collec tions in other states. YV. Harry Baker, of Philadelphia, chairman of the Republican sena torial committee in Pennsylvania, testified he had received in contribu tions $173,863 and has on hand $226.21. A total of $64,350, he said, was received from Joseph R. Grun- I dy, who has charge of collecting funds in eastern Pennsylvania and j $14,500 from the national commit-! tee. William J. Tully, of the legal de partment of the Metropolitan Life I Insurance company, named in pre-, vious testimony as head of the spe cial committee collecting Republi- I can funds among life insurance men. testified that employes and officials | of the Metropolitan company gave $1,660. of which he himself contrib uted SSOO, and that SSBS was contrib uted among the personnel of the New York Life Insurance company. , , Hendon Chubb, also an insurance man of New York, said he raised 1 $822.50 from marine insurance men for the Republican fund. George Mundane, of the New York Trust company, who said he was chairman of the bankers’ group of the Greater New York Republican campaign fund committee, testified lie himself had received $3,090 and that the bankers’ group as a whole raised $77,000.

I —By Alley in the Memphis Commercial Appeal GOLP.OSEM, VETERAN AnORNEY, CLAIMED 81 DEATH Colonel Patrick Henry Brewster, for more than half a century one of the ablest and most distinguished members of the Georgia bar, died at his home in College Park Friday I afternoon after an illness of several ■, weeks. He was 78 years old at the ! time of his death. Funeral services for Colonel Breyv ster, attended with all the honors that his friends and colleagues can bestow, will be held Friday after noon, the " time to be announced later, from the College Park Meth odist church, of yvhich he yvas a faithful and devoted member until his death. Colonel Brewster, the dean of the Atlanta bar, had practiced the legal profession in Atlanta for 30 years, and for almost a quarter of a cen tury prior to his removal here had I practiced layv in Newnan, Coweta county, his native city. | Feyv men have achieved greater distinction in their chosen profession I than did he in the field of law. He yvas at one time president of the Atlanta Bar association, of yvhich he alyvays yvas an honored member, and throughout his long career yvas engaged as counsel, in many famous cases. His comprehensive knowledge of the law, his faithfulness in the per- I formance of what he conceived to I be his duty, and the gentle kidliness jof his nature endeared him to all . who knew him and won for him ' the respect and high esteem of his I colleagues. The gentleness of nature and gen j erosity of spirit, which were domi nant traits of Colonel Brewster's I character were never better exem plified, according to his closest friends, than in his devoted atten tion? to his wife during a long pe riod of invalidism which preceded her death several years ago. Devoted to Church < Another outstanding trait of his character was his devotion to his church. He had been a steward in ‘the College Park Methodist church ever since its organization and for thirty years prior to his death had been a trustee of the church proper ty and a teacher of the men's Bible ' class. According to those who came in I closest contact with him in his i church work, he never missed a Sun ■day school meeting if he yvas physi cally able to attend, serving his • church with the same loyalty and I faithfulness that characterized his I attitude toward his family, his I friends and his profession.

The will of Miss Osburn’s grand father, Henry Osburn, provided an income to be paid to the girl for her lifetime and to her husband in the event of her death. This income Miss Osburn has used for the sup port of her mother. She said that her marriage at this time would pro tect her mother in that the income would be paid to her husband in the event of her own death.

WIDBK UNIONS QUIT LI EDLLETTE TO SUPPORT DAVIS Labor Council, Representing 700,000 Members, Falls Into Democratic Ranks NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Outstand ing developments in the candidacy of John W. Davis, revolved today about the endorsement given him by the f executive council of the Central Trades and Labor council of Great er New York, and the delivery by hirn of three speeches in Long Is land districts on Thursday. Announcement of the labor action was made public b.y the eastern Democratic headquarters and was hailed by officials there as a revolt in American Federation of Labor ranks which assured Mr. Davis “the support of approximately 700,000 union workers in the greater city.” It was pointed out also in a state ment signed by eleven members of the executive council that they had voted to withdraw the endorsement previously given Senator La Follette “because we have been requested by our membership to place ourselves squarely' on record for the election of John W. Davis for president and Alfred E. Smith for governor of New York.” The statement contained a recom mendation “to the entire membership and to all interested in the cause of labor, to vote and work for the election of Davis.” Many Trades Represented It was signed by John Sullivan, president, central trades and labor council; John I’.
