CONSERVATIVE SPLIT.
IN ROSS AND CROMARTY. (United Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, January 7. Nomination day for the Scottish Universities by-election has been fixed for January 11. Mr Ramsay MacDonald will be nominated, but it is still uncertain how many opponents he will have. The result of the poll will be declared on February 3. In Ross and Cromarty, the chairman and vice-chairman of the local Conservative Association have resigned in protest against the association’s decision to oppose the candidature of the Dominions Secretary (Mr Malcolm MacDonald), who had been invited to stand by the Liberal National members of the local Liberal organisation, and who will have the support of the Conservative officers who resigned, as well as of other leading Conservatives. Mr MacDonald’s Labour opponent will be Mr H. Maeneil, who was defeated in a very close contest by the Minister for Agriculture (Mr Walter Eliot) in the general election at Glasgow.
