29 JUNE 1901, Page 2

The polling in the Stratford-on-Avon division, which took place on

Tuesday, resulted as follows :—P. S. Foster (C.), 4,755; Bolton King (H.R.), 2,977; Unionist majority, 1,778. In the election of 1900 there was no contest, but in 1895 the Unionist majority was 1,771. The result cannot be said to show that the country is changing its opinion about the war, for Mr. Bolton King was a very strong candidate, and would have won the seat for his party if any one could.
