Mr. Baldwin, the new President of the Board of Trade,

was re-elected for the Bewdley division of Worcestershire on Tuesday. In 1918 he was unopposed. This time he polled 14,537 votes —considerably more than half the electorate—against Mr. H. Mills, an extreme Socialist, who received only 1,680 votes. Mr. Mills was too advanced in his views for the Labour Party, who declined to assist him, foreseeing his inevitable defeat. Mr. Mills, not having polled an eighth of the votes cast, forfeited his deposit of £150.
