BONAR UW NAMED) PRIME MINISTER; SUCCEEDS GEORGE Election of Distin g uished man Was Expected and Was Unanimous. GREAT BRITAN TO HAVE EMERGENCY MEETINGS Party Factions Start Ball Roll ing to Gain Contral of Gov ernment— People’s Will No w Seems to be at Stake. London, Oct. 23.—Andrew Bonar Law today, in the tradi tional phrase of the court cir- - cular, “kissed hand s upo n his - appointment as prime minister - and first lord of th e treasury,” - and thus becomes England’s ' first Canadian-born premier. Today was devoted to the for malities necessary in a monar chial country to a change of government. The king in the " morning gave audience to and took formal leave of the out- - going prime minister’. Then came the Unionist meeting in the afternoon when ‘3onar Law was unanimosly elected leader of the party. This was followed by 'an audience at Buckingham Palace, when Premier Law, at the king’s invitation undertook to form anew administration., ('By Associated Press.) London, Oct. 23.—Andrew Bonar Law was unanimously elected lead er of the Unionist party at the meet ing held this afternoon. Announcement of the composition of the new ministry and declaration of the government’s program, be de ferred until Thursday, when also the dissolution of parliament is likely to be announced. There is much perturbation in sev eral quartet’s over the report that the elections are .to be held on Novem ber 14 or 15 instead of the 18tl\, which falls n a Saturday. Dissatisfaction on this point is par ticularly strong in labor circles, Where it is jnaintained that if the (tolling is held o n any day but Sat urday many Labor voters will be pre vented exercising their franchise. Thi s week will be crowded with party conventions and public meet ings. There was what is described as an “emergency” meeting of the As quithian Liberals (often called Free Liberals) last evening, at which Mr. Asquith, Viscount Grey, the Mar qu’s -of Crewe, Viscount Gladstone, Lord Cowdray and other leaders were present. It is believed this meeting was called to frame a 1 manifesto which will be issued shortly. Viscount Grey speaks at Bradford tomorrow 'when an important pro nouncement is expected. The executive committee of the La bor party meets in Londo n tomorrow to arrange its program, which will be issued as a manifesto immediately afterwards. The announcement tint Reginald McKenna will appear on the* Conservative platform has stirred remarkable interest everywhere. The possibility of his appoinment as chan cellor of the exchequer is generally discussed, but some well-informed Conservative newspapers say this is altogether improbable, and opinion is fairly general that this post wall go to Stanley Baldwin, one of the lead ers > n the fight aga’nst Lloyd George. Attempts to analyze the electoral prospects yield no results and no one aside from the party propagandists seem to hold a distinct opinion as to how the 20,000,000 voters will line up. The position of the women electors constitutes one of the chief prob lems. 1 One international effect of the im pending election is reported from Paris, whei£ Premier Poincare is Said to have received a note from Lord Curzon asking, in view of the politi cal situation i n Great Britain, that France assent to indefinite postpone ment of th e Near East peace confer ence which was to open at Lausanne, Switzerland, on November 13. There'Ap a strong probability, de clares a Central News dispatch from Edinburg today, that the Scottish temperance vote, which in 1918<swas cast sclidly for the coalition, will be cast at the forthcoming election in fa vor of candidates supporting Mr. Lloyd George. Leading temperance organizations are meeting to discuss the situation and many minor confer ences already hav e passed resolutions ’ in support of the retiring premier. It is considered likely in temper ance quarters that the Scottish tem perance advocates will suppoij. the Unionists in the forthcoming election, as Sir George Lounger, present chalr- THE BRUNSWICK NEWS HERRIN GRAND JURY AFTER INDICTING OVER 400 COMPLETES WORK (By Associated Press.)

PRICE FIVE CENTS STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION WILL SE ft TAME AFFAIR Judge Waller F. (jeorge, Sena lorial'Nominee to Make Principal Address. GOVERNOR-ELECT WALKER TO BE ONLY SPECTATOR Senator W. J. Harris Will be on Hand and Wi" Occupy Seat With Winners in the Recent Primaries. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 23.—Politicians have ali left the city following the meeting of the new Democratic ex ecutive committee here Saturday, some of them remaining over Sun day and plan s are going fordward for the meeting of the State Democratic convention next Saturday at Macon. So far as known, the coming con vention will be a very tame affair, and the speecH? iking will be limited. Hon. Clifford Walker, newly elected governor, delivered his acceptance speech at the gathering of the Walk er delegates on October 4th, hence he now takes the role of a spectator and listener as the official results of the gubernatorial and senatorial pri maries ai'e declared. The governor elect has not prepared a second speech, he told his friends. Judge Walter F. George, of Vien na, who was nominated in the sena torial ' primary since the gathering of the Walker delegates at Macon, will be the olvef speaker at the con vention Saturday. He will deliver hi s speech of acceptance, bringing out the principles of the platform on which he was elected and will con duct the duties of his office. The senior senator from Georgia, Hon. Wm. J. Harris, will attend the con vention and occupy a seat o n the stage with his junior colleague. Senator Harri s is now a familiar figure in the hotel lobbies of Atlanta, having come to Georgia upon the adjournment of congress and will re main until the national lawmaking body reassembles early in December. Since his arrival, the junior senator lias been literally besieged with invi tations to make speeches and if lie accepts all of the invitations he will b e heard in many sections of the state •luring the next few weeks. Undoubt edly, Senator Harris is popular and his popularity has been growing ever since h e has been i n office. Unpre judice dpoliticians declare that the po litical strength of the junior senator is well nigh impregnable, as he has “stayed on the job,” and i n other ways met the wishes of hi s consti tuents to such a n extent, that possi ble opposition in 1924 to get any where must be a towering personal ity that ha s not yet appeared on the political horizon. The senior senator, as stated in news dispatches, was given an ovation at the Democratic executive commit tee meeting here Saturday. The ovatio n followed the passage of a resolution indorsing Senator Harris. The resolution reads: “Resolved, that the Georgia Dem ocratic executive committee most heartily indorses the services of senior United States Senator Wil liam J. Harris; that we express con fidence in him as a man and as a public official.” Considerable interest attaches to the personnel of the special commit tee which will promulgate new rules for the government of Democrats af fairs during 1923 and 1924. The com mittee is as follow.-,: William Butt, Blue Ridge, chair man; Fermor Barrett, Toccoa; B. F. Walker, Gibson; Mrs. Bettie R. Cobb, Jarrollton, land H. H. Elders, Reids? ville.
