BRITISH POLITICS.
CONFIDENCE OF PARTIES.
INFLUENCE OF PRESS TRUSTS.
INQUIRY TO FOLLOW
(Australian and N.Z. Gable Assn.) LONDON, Nov. 25.
The political correspondent of the Observer says that one-third of the candidates of the various parties arc safe, but none can say which of the rest will emerge. All headquarters not only profess confidence, but feel it. Mr Asquith at Paisley and Mr Churchill at Leicester are none too safe.
The sequel to the election will probably be an inquiry into press trusts, for which there is an American precedent.
MR BALDWIN’S REQUEST.
WANTS INCREASED MAJORITY
LONDON, November 24
Speaking at Tenbury, Mr Baldwin asked for an increased majority. “It is essential that I should have a strong backing,” he said. “ I have the Liberal and Labour Parties, and a great deal of the popular press against me. With your help I can beat them all.”
He added that the state of Europe and how to reach a settlement between the Frinch and Germans nearly broke Mr Bonar Law’s heart.
