The polling in the Colne Valley Division, which took place

on Thursday, has resulted in the return of Mr. Grayson, the Socialist candidate, by a majority of 153. Mr. P. Bright, the Liberal, obtained 3,495, and Mr. G. C. Wheler, the Unionist, 3,227 votes. The result of the election, like that at Jarrow, shows that there is an enormous majority in the constituency opposed to Protection.
