ONE OF MOST EXCITING
IN COUNTRY’S HISTORY
Fight Was Between Conserva

Liberals and Ceorgetts and
Reports Indicate Was one of
Most Heated Kind,
London, Nov. 15.—Andrew Bonar
Law, prime minister, was elected to
the house from the Second Division,
Glasgow.
Heavier Vote Polled.
London, Nov. 15—Early election re
turns indicate a much heavier vote
than the 1018 elections.
The state of the parties at 1 o’clock
tonight was: Conservatives, 79;, Geor
gettes, 8; Asquithan Liberals, 15, .La
bor, 34; Independent, 3.
Mrs. Astor a Winner.
London, Nov. 15.—Viscountess As

Swarmed the Polls.
London, England, Nov. 15.—The
electorate of Great Britain swarmed
to the polls by millions today in Eng- 1
land, Scotland, Wales and Ulster to
elect the fourth par'iament of the
reign of George V.
The polls opened at 8 o’clock—an
hour earlier than that in some big in
dustrial center’s—and - by; nine o’clock
tonight the new house of commons ]
had been elected.
No eleventh hour development has
lessened; the uncertanity of the result.
The few prophets who ventured fore
casts tie strings to their predictions.
It is, therefore, something of a sur
prise to the public that Prime Minis
ter Bonar Law, in his final speech at
Glasgow discarded-his native caution
and that he had “very considerable
confidence” that the electors would
give him a working majority today
on which he can depend. He made it
clear tlrat he would be dissatisfied
with anything less than an indepen
dent unionist majority. Experienced
observers here now expressed strong
confidence in such a result.
The morning papers today earnest
ly appealed to the electors to exer
cise their franchises, and to take
nothing for granted, the anti-labor
newspaper expressed considerable
fear of apathy among the electorate.
They particularly concerned unless
the middle class of home-keeping
women, whose first interests are their
families, neglect the opportunity to
cast their votes against labor.
At the last parliamentary elections
it was estimated that'only about sixty
per cent of the electors went to the
polls. Opponents of labor feared that
unless more energy is displayed, la-
Borites will benefit since'their organ
ization is believed to be very com
plete. From the. unionists newspa
pers goes up the earnest cry: “What
ever you do, don’t vote labor,”
Lloyd George, who easily Won, was
strong in his oposition to the laborite
program. In an overnight tnessage to
the electors he urged them to support
the candidates who are opposing so
cialism as laid down in the manifesto
of the labor party.
“The labor party had a foolish
‘Robin Hood’ program forced upon
them by their fanatics,” according to
the Daily Chronicle. . “If anybody
wants the labor party eventually to
prosper, he cannot do them greater
service than to vote against them
now.”
On the other hand, the Asquithian
Daily News pleaded with the electors
to vote liberal where there was a lib
eral candidate. Otherwise it would
have them vote labor. The Daily
News and the Westminster Gazette,

of the electorial campaign has been
the renaissance of liberalism. They
declared that serene confidence exsits
among the liberals.
Urging the claims of labor, the
Daily Herald told its readers that the
laborite program will insure peace,
fair play and work for all at reason
able wages and with reasonable hours.
Answering the objection that the
country could not pay for it all, the

In the daily memorandum, sent out
by the United States' engineer’s of
fice in Savannah yesterday, among
other items, this appeared:
“About December 2, 1922, Bruns
wick light vessel in approximately lat.
31 degrees 00 seconds, 10 minutes N.,

“The vessel will show a light of 700
candlepower 48 feet above water of
the same characteristic as that of the
station vessel.
“The fog signal and submarine bell
will sound the same characteristic as

ONE AMENDMENT
! CARRIED LATEST
RETURNS INDICATE
i
LOOKS AS IF ALL EXCEPT IN
CREASING SALARY OF AU
GUSTA JUDGESHIP LOST
i Atlanta, Novf 15—With all the elec
tion returns in, except from eight
counties, and tabulation made of the
vote on all the constitutional amend
ments voted on in the general elec
, tion, there appears now a probability
that only one of the four amendments
! voted on carried. A late surprise in
the vote conies in the fact that there
is probably one addition to the losses,
in the matter of the amendment to
increase the salary of the Superior
; Court judge in hte Muscogee circuit,
i which would mean that the only
amendment to have carried will be
I that increasing the salary of the
judge in the Augusta circuit. The vote
!of the Muscogee circuit salary, with
i the eight counties missing, was 25,424
;for and 24,073 against giving a lead
! of only 1,351.
The counties of Atkinson, Hall,
Henry, Lanier, Carroll, Montgomery,
Pauling and Tattnall, have not yet
been sent in, and of these, Hall, Hen
ry and Carroll polled a comparatively
large vote against the amendments,
on unofficial returns.
The amendments total, in the re
turns compiled to date, as follows:
For creation of anew Senatorial dis
trict 23,988, against 25,582; the
amendment lost by 1,594. To increase
the salary of judge of the Superior
Court in Augusta, 27,649, against 21,-
913, the amendment carried by 5,736.
To create Peach county, 28,824,
against 34,908; the amendment lost by
6,048. To increase salary of Superior
Court judge of Muscogee, 25,424,
against 24,073.
I RAILWAY STRIKE COST
GOVERNMENT 51,250,000
(
; Washington, Nov. 15.—Activities of

! men’s strike of last summer cost up
j wards of $1,250,000, according to an
j estimate reached Tuesday by acturr
j ies of the Department of Justice. The
I major portion of the expenses was
| represented by the salaries and ex-
I penses of special deputy marshals of
; whom six thousand were appointed
; during the strike. Applications from

if granted, would have sent the total

ATLANTA TODAY

wick to be Heard in Ful
ton Superior Court.
MUTUAL LIGHT& WATER CO.-
RESISTING COMMISSION CUT
The Case is to be Heard on
Certiorari Proceedings Before
Judge Bell—Local Attorneys
on Both Sides.
There will be another legal proce
dure in Atlanta today, in the matter
of the recent ruling of the State Rail
road commission reducing the tariff
on electric lights and power to be
charged by the Mutual Light & Wa
ter company of this city.
It will be recalled that last spring,
on the complaint of the city of Bruns
wick, the commission sustained a pe
tition filed by the city and ordered a
horizontal reduction in lights and
power charges equivalent to about
ten per cent of the present rates. At
that time the Mutual Light & Water
company, through its attorneys,
Messrs. Conyers & Wilcox, of this
ciyt, sought to stay the enforcement
of the rulings of the commission and
certiorari proceeding were instituted
in the Fulton superior court, Atlan
ta. <
A hearing is to be had on this pro
ceeding in Atlanta today. City Attor
ney R. D. Meader will represent the
city in the hearing and Conyers &
Wilcox will appear for the Mutual
Light and Water company.
It was said yesterday by attorneys
in the case that the issue to be tried
out today, was a mere legal step and
that in either event, it would be final
ly appealed to the Supreme court.
Since the final outcome of the liti
gation will mean much to the users
of electricity in Brunswick, the case
is of more than usual interest.
