r (REUTEII'S TELEGRAM.)
(Received 20th.June, 11.30 a.m.)
CAPETOWN, 19th'June. The feature of the elections is the landslide to the. Pact in the Transvaal. In the Capo and Natal the Government fully held its own.
General Smuts, in' a message, gives hope that he will still continue to lead his party.
The defeat of the preference resolutions in the British' Parliament has caused great disappointment, and is almost certain to be seized upon by the new Government as a pretext for abolishing British preference in the South African Union. Such preference has always' been opposed by the Hertzog Party. .
