IN BRITISH ELECTIONS. “BOLSHEAHIv METHODS.” BY CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYEIGHT. (Received Oct. 24, 1.50 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 23. Rowdyism at election meetings in various parts of the country is given prominence in the press. Official Unionist headquarters denounced the breaking mi of Unionist and Liberal meetings as the introduction of Bolshevist methods into English politics.
