BRUNSWICK Has the lowest death rate of any city Its size In the United States. ...... VOLUME 2XI. NO 278.. BRITONS STANDING BY PREMIER BONAR LAW NEW PREMIER WINS WITH SUFFICIENT NUMBER FOLLOWERS MRS. ASTOR IS AGAIN NAMED IN PLYMOUTH Lloyd George Did Win His Seat Even if Followers Lost Out. ONE OF MOST EXCITING IN COUNTRY’S HISTORY Fight Was Between Conserva tives, Laborites, Asquithian 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 tor was elected from the Sutton divis ion of Plymouth. 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, leading champions of independent lib- THE BRUNSWICK NEWS GIRL’S HEART BEATS FORTY MINUTES AFTER SHE STOPS BREATHING (By Associated Press.} Redondo, Cal., Nov. 15.-—An autopsy will be performed on the body of Miss Izette McCammon, 15-year-old senior at the local high school, authorities announc ed today, as a result of the re fusal of physicians to sign a death certificate when she died yesterday, after an illness of a few hours.

They declared that serene confidence exsits among the liberals.

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 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.
