AUSTRALIAN POLITICS.
SOUTHERN STATE ELECTION. LIBERAL SET-BACK LIKELY. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed 8.-15 p.m.) ADELAIDE; April .6. The State elections were held yesterday. For the 46 seats in the Assembly there were 49 Liberal candidates, 40 for Labour, 19 for the Country Party, and three Independents. For the 12 Council seats there were 23 candidates. When the counting of the votes closed at midnight only the Adelaide returns were complete. Three Labour candidates were returned. Mrs. Good, the only woman candidate, received 1515 votes, as against 6854 secured by Mr. John Gunn, the Labour leader. Though it is impossible to give a definite verdict yet it looks, on the incomplete figures, as if Mr. H. N. Barwell's Liberal Party will get a set-back.
