LABOUR’S PROSPECTS.
— RETURN OF 250 STRONG. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Oct. 13, 12.30 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 12. An unsigned article in the editorial page of the Observer, discussing the prospects of the election, says that no one expects a big surprise," yet none feels safe from it. Mr. Baldwin has strengthened his hold with the tariff issue out of the way. It adds that the Labourites reckon on a return of 250 strong. This is a large order, but who shall say it is impossible Labour throughout the year, at every serious test, has continued to gain far more than any other party. Lord Beaverbroolc, in the Sunday Express, declares that the interests of the people demand a Ministry with a clear majority. The Conservative party alone commands the prospect of attaining such a majority in the'next House.
