try. Election Will be Exciting.
London, Oct. 26—King George
today at Sandringham signed
the proclamation dissolving the
parliament which had lived four
or five constitutional years.
The proclamation summons
the new parliament to meet on
November 20. England is now
without a parliament. but with
plenty of candidates. Premier
Bonar Law issued a manifesto
which contained no surprises.
He proposes to abolish cabinet
secretarial and transfer British
representatives at the League
of Nations to the foreign office.
The new primier also plans to
bring about ratification of the
Irish treaty and calls the British
dominions for a conference to
develop empire affairs. No state

Glasgow, Oct. 26.—Prime Minister
Bonar Law was unanimously adopted
today a R the Conservative and Union
ist candidate for parliament from the
central division of Glasgow. A res
olution of confidence in him was
.passed. •
Mr. Bonar Law arrived here this
morning to open his campaign in the
general election. A cordial demon
stration' marked hi- arrival at the
railway station.
Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law,
n discussing his policy, told a meet
ing of the West Scotland Unionist As
sociation today:
‘‘My strong belief is that this na
tion nedes, above everything else, rest
and tranquillity, and my policy will
be a negative one in this sense.’
The government’s policy, said the
prime minister, would be to leave the
recovery from the war to the un
trammeled initiative of the men and
women'of the country.
ORATORY GALORE
London, Oct. 26.—Oratory by as
pirants for seats i r the new parlia

candidates have up to now entered the
campaign for membership in the
house of commons. Of these, about
426 are Conservatives. In round
numbers, labor has 400 candidates in
the field. The Asquithian, or Free
Liberals, have 300. and the Lloyd

The little Welshman who lost his post,
as pr m> iflfnUter last week is vigor
ously striving to increase the number

To qbtain an outright majority in
the hew parliament, any one party
would have to elect 315 candidates. It
wll be seen, therefore, that th e Con
servatives and ' Laborjtes are the
only two with enough Candida*/* in
the field to obtain an independent |
majority. i
The Laboiite manifesto, holds a |
prominent place in all the morning
newspapers today. They emphasize
its leading points in heavy type head- >
lines, showing how unpalatable the ,
labor platform is to most of the pa

editorial to the manifesto. The

VBCELLE IS SURE
WILL 8[ SENATOR
Nominee of Democrats is Now
Being Opposed by C. S. Ar
now Who Has Announced a?
Independant Candidate.
Hon. James T. Vocelle, member of
the present house of representatives
of the Georgia Assembly from Cam
den, was ; n the city yesterday, and
Mr. Vocelle is the Democratic nomi
nee for state senator from this, the
Fourth Senatorial District, and is be
ing opposed in the general election
by Charles S. Am aw, candidate of
the Citizens League. “I was very
much surprised,’’ said Mr. Vocelle, “to
hear that som e of my kind friends
have circulated a report here that I
was antagonistic to Brunswick on the
state port proposition. All of the
member s of 'Brunswick delegation to
Atlanta, including M B. McKinnon,
Fred G. Warde, J. P. Davenport, F.
M. Scarlett, anil others know that,
while, of course hailing from St.
Marys, I favored that port first, yet,
when I saw that the fight was be
tween Savannah anil Brunswick, I
iO(- only favored Brunswick, but led
the fight for Brunswick, before the
•onstituticnal amendments commit
tee, of which I was a member. Your
"epi'esentaCve, Hon. B. F. Mann, who
was one of the most popular members
> fthe last house, was not a member
if this committee, and he asked me to
ead Brunswick’s fight when the
committee went * nt -o executive ses
sion, and this I did, and also made
a speech on the floor •of the nouse
Tor Brunswick’s claims. When the
fight developed between Brunswick
>nd Savannah I was at all times
Brunswick's unquestioned friends, and
when I go to the senate I shall c-on
>inue to be, not only on the port mat
ter, but also in every way that I can
I shall fight for its best interests.”
Mr. Vocelle stated that the only
rame that will or can appear on the
Democrats cricket will be his name,
is he has been regularly declared the
party nominee, and Mr. Amow’s
name .will have to appear on a dif
ferent ticket. Mr. Arnow’s party, h ( .
iays, has adopted the name of the
“Reformed Democratic Party,” and
this party will have to get out a sep
arate ticket in order to get their nom
inee voted on. The chairman of the
new party movement is W. B. Lyens,
‘ formerly sheriff of Wayne county.
Mr. Vocelle came to Brunswick from
Folkston, the county seat of Charl
ton, and he states that he will carry
Charlton by a substantial majority
and that in Camden, his home coun
ty, Mr. Arnow will not poll a hun
dred votes.
In his campaign-.for re-election as th e
member from the Central division of
that city. Former Balie Mitchel is
his opponent on the labor ticket and
Sir George Paish is opposing him as
a free Liberal.
Labor is making a very strong
campaign among the large population
of Glasgow. At present only on e of
the fifteen coustitutencies in that city
represented by a labor member, but
the party has for a long while con
ducted earnest propaganda in th e big
industrial communities and it seems
likely to fulfill it s hope of gaining a
larger representation.
One of the candidates in Glasgow
is the Communist, John MacLeau,
whose term of twelve months in
prison for sedition expired yesterday-
Reports that Premier Bonar Law
in expected reform of administrative
departments might relegate the works
of the ministry of labor to some oth
er department, have strongly aroused
the leaders of the Labor Party, who
will vigorously oppose any such
change.
