BY-ELECTION.
MR. SAMUEL'S MAJORITY, 971. (By Tolograph.-Pross Association-Copyriehl) (Roc. July 11, 5.5 p.m.) London, July 10. The by-election for the Cloveland division of the North Riding of Yorkshire, necessitated by the elevation of the Liberal member (Mr. Herbert Samuel) to the Cabinet as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, has resulted in the re-election o'f Mr. Samuel, the voting being: Mi. H. L. Samuel (Liberal) ... 6296 Mr. W. Lewis, (Unionist) „. 5325, Liboral majority 971 [The Cleveland seat has been Liboral ' for many years • Mr. Samuel had no opponent in 190G, and in 1902 his majority was 203G Tho present Liberal majority of 971 would theretore appear as a shrinkage. Mr. Samuel is a rising Liberal, one of the younger hones of the party, and altogether a strong candidate, so the Unionist press will no doubt draw conclusions. The vacancy for High Peak (Derbyshire) caused by Mr, 0 Partington's appearance in, the Ministiy will causo a keen fight.]
