We particularly regret the defeat of Mr. Asquith. Among the

other defeated Liberals were Mr. Masten-Ilan, Mrs. Wintringham, Mr. Pringle, General Seely, and Dr. Macnamara. We regret also the disappearance of Mr. E. D. Simon, whose fresh mind will be greatly missed. Among the defeated Ministers were Miss Bondfield, Mr. Leach, Mr. Frank Hodges and Mr. F. W. Jowett. Mr. Churchill was returned by a large majority. The combined Anti-Socialist vote is overwhelming. When we go to Press the state of the parties is as follows :— Vaionists • • • • .. 403

Liberals .. .. 36 Labour .. .. 150

Constitutionalists .. 7 - Independents . • • • • • 4
