A FINAL FORECAST
MORE SANGUINE THAN EVER ANALYSIS OF POSITION
(Received 27th October, 1 p.m.) LONDON,, 26th October. A last-minute prophesy of tho result of to-morrow's momentous election reveals a forecast far more optimistic than anything that has so far appoarod. This estimates a clear Government majority of 267 and a Conservative majority of 107 over all. This is not official, but is authoritative, following the "Sun-Herald's" systematic organised analysis of every constituency. Nevertheless, it should be regarded in tho light of tho well-known uncertainties of politics. If it is accurate, the Government supporters would be: Conservatives, 361; Simonitc Liberals, 32; Samuclito Liberals, 37; National Labour, 10; National, 1. The latter is Rear-Admiral Campbell, styled simply "National," who is expected to beat Mr. Arthur Henderson at Burnley. The Opposition would be: Labour, 162; Lloyd George Liberals, 5; Mosley Party, 1; Independents, 6. Sir Oswald Mosley is likely to be the new party of one. Th« forecasts suggest that Messrs. Mac Donald and Henderson are both in grave danger, but that Sir Herbert Samuel and Sir Donald Maclean are likely to hold their seats.
