LONDON PLEASED AS TO RESULTS OF ELECTIONS HELD NEWSPAPER COMMENT SEEMS THAT OUTCOME SATISFIED i LARGE MAJORITY. (By Associated Press.)- London, . .ov. 17. —Gratification is expressed by most of the morning newspapers as the result of the par limentary elections. This 'a s of course to be expected from the con servative press, in view of the re tention Of t h e conservative majority, but some of the liberal newspapers also find certain ground s for satis faction . They recognize that the outc means a return to party government and the disappearance of all t most dislike in the survival of the coalition long after they regarded its dissolution a s due. “We are rid,” says the Westmiin ister Gazette, “of the compromises and subterfuges which are madefq and subterfuge s which hav e made parliment contemptible.” while the Daily News declares the election “has blown a breath of clean air into our discredited parliamentadyy insti tutions,” and rejoices at the esbab ' lishment of a strong effective and able opposition.” Tli e Daily Herald, exulting over labor’s successes, anticipates anoth er election within eighteen months, and says: ’‘ln the meantime we play our cards boldly and snillfully we ought to have a labor government without doubt.” The Times regards the resulth with deep satisfaction and says it demol ishes the last argument for main tenance of th e coalition. The news paper would have Preferred that the balance be held more evenly between the liberals and laborites, but be lieves the country ha s nothing to fear and much mor e t° gain from ventilation of the labor party’s Ideas in parliament. Several of the newspapers derive satisfaction from the fact that the convervative majority is not over whelmingly large, thus enabling, the opposition to exercise a wholesome check upon the Predominant Party. The size of tli fi conservative ma jority fs seriously disputed by the PaPiers, th|eir figqfres ranging from eighty to eighty-seven a nd until all the returns ar e complete. thi s diver gence will continue- For the first D m e in th e history of the Brjtish parliament a candidate standing as a-n avowed commnist was elected when J.

Morel, de feated Winston Spencer Churchill and three other candidates In Dun dee, a two-seat constiuency. The largest v °t e for a woman can didate was cast In Northampton where the not-ed labor leader, Miss Marguerite Bondfield polled more tlhan 14,009 votes. Lady Cooper, running on th e conservative ticket, also received over 14,000 and came near defeating her liberal opponent in Wallsall.

The committee having in charge the coming visit of the Monton party to Brunswick has received definite as surance that the party will arrive here Thanksgiving day, November 30th, at 11:55 a. m., from Savannah, and will depart at 4:50 p. m. for Way cross. This aarangemnet brings the party here a day later than at first expect ed, but does not lessen the time al lotted to Brunswick in the original program which had to be revised on account of some cities not making good the requirements in the time designated and other cities having to be substituted. Brunswick’s place on the itinerary was never in doubt. Within ten days after receipt of no tice that Brunswick was on the tenta tive list, this city’s quota of the trans portation money was in the hands of the treasurer of the fund. Several committees have been ap pointed and all arrangements are practically completed exepet that of entertaining the members of the par ty. There will be about thirty in the party, and while the plans for enter tainment are not extravagant the committee is greatly in need of funds for this purpose. They have sufficient funds for advertising, which will be thoroughly done in Glynn, Mclntosh, and Camden counties, and possibly enough to build a speakers’ stand. The few who have had this matter in charge have worked hard to bring th e Monton party here for the benefit of .the masses of the colored people and the good of the whole communi ty and they should not be expected to finance any .possible deficit after the party has come or gone. Those who can give any financial assistance, 1 however small, will be promptly wait -led on if you will call W. 11. Clark, i phone 779, or C. A. Clark, phone 525. ! After the meeting of the general committee next Wednesday night full details and program will be given to the public through the columns of The News.

WORKERS SAY TASK HAS BEEN PLEASANT ONE It is Believed That the Weeks Work Will Wind Up the Drive, General Meeting Drive Teams to Occur Monday Night. If there was any doubt in the minds of any Brunswick citizens as to the popularity of the Board of Trade and the full appreciation of the work it has been doing and promises to do, it will certainly be dispelled by the way with which the Board of Trade drive for membership has been reveiv ed on the part of Brunswick business and professional men, practically without exception. The members of the various socicit ing commiteees state that this has been by all means the easiest drive to put over that the Board of Trade has ever engaged in. This fact is accounted for on account of the gen elar knowledge on th e part of all citizens of Brunswick as to the work that has been done by tlii s commerc ial organization and the fight that it has waged constantly a nd consist ently for recognition of Brunswick's advantages throughout Georgia and the world. One of the most pleasant features of the campaign h a s been the com paratively large number of brand new members who are coming in to help Brunswick through their membership fees, personal work and influence. General Chairman J. P. Davenport is frank to state that there is a job for every one hundred p-r cent Brunswiekian in the Board of Trade and h e is eepecially anxious that the personal touch of the members be felt in the general activities of the organization. The officers and direc tors of the Board of Trade hav e al ways stated that dues ar e not the only thing needed in making a suc cessful commercial orginazition, but that Constant co-operation of the en tire membership in every legitimate enterprise initiated by the trade body is absolutely necessary for the suc cessful conduct of its business. There will b e no active solicitation on the part of the various teams to day, hut there will be some work done Monday on those who have not been seen. Monday evening the board of directors and all of the membership drive teams will meet the general chairman at the Board °f Tradp rooms to consolidate all re turns, reassign prospects, canvass th e Previoffk prospect cards for any ma terial that might b e a v a lable by further solicitation and lay plans for •a successful finish to the campaign Tuesday. .It is frankly predicted that this on e week will have : wound up the most successful campaign ever put on by the Board of Trade.
