BOSTON—Another textile com- pany dividend went by the board when the Otis company, makers of awnings, automobile covers and den- ims passed its usual distribution LABOR PARTY aWEPT CLEAN (Continued from Page One.) is Benerally considered, however, that when all the votes are tabulat- ed, it is not likely to be found that labor has polled as many as it* did a year ago. The luck that put many laborites into parliament last year through minority polls on three sided fights, left them out of the house this year. Many liberals stepped down to per. mit conservaties to have: straight fights with labor opponents and a reat majority of the liberals who did not step down were put down when the ballots were counted. Their famous leader, H. H. Asquith, fell with his cohorts, losing to labor a seat that had been liberal for nearly a century. Former Premier Lloyd George got one of the greatest ma- Jprities of his career at Carnarvon, but elsewhere in the British Isles his followers were deserted by the electorate in depressing droves. Aged observers of the ebb and flow of party power in British poll- tics expressed the opinion that the wholesale flight of voters away from the Liberal party was due to a great extent to the popular fear that, by votes for the liberals, especially in three sided contests the prospects urder the banner of labor might be enabled to gain the seats, LONDON, Oct. 30.—(By. The Asso- ciated Press.)}—The tabulation of re- turns from yesterday's parliament- ary election showed at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon that the conservative party had made a het gain of 138 seats, the labor party had suffered a net loss of 38 seats while the liberal party had suffered a loss of 100 seats, LONDON, Oct. 30.—{By The Asso- clated Press.)—Only two of the four- teen women who were candidates in yesterday's general parliamentar: election were successful in winning seats in the house of commons— Lady Astor, conservative candidate for Plymouth, and Miss Wilkin: labor candidate for Middleboro, E The defeated women comprise four conservatives, one liberal and seven laborites, GLASGOW, Oct. 30.—(By The As- scclated Press.) rmer Premier Asquith, who was defeated by the laborite candidate in the Paisley constituentcy in yesterday's pre- Uminary elections, said upon leav- ing Glasgow for London today that he did not public life. “I will stand again,” he declared.
