FRIDAY, OCFOBER 26, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE Churchill Wins (Continued from Page 1) giving final shape to the Conser- day vative cabinet which has been on paper for weeks. It will take in most of the mem- bers of the Churchill "shadow cabinet" which has been in exist- ence since the Conservatives were defeated in the 1945 election. Besides Eden, members of the shadow cabinet include: Richard Butler, Churchill's war- time education minister and sub- sequently Labor minister in the 1945 "caretaker" government. Oliver Lyttelton, wartime trade minister. Harold Macmillan, alr secretary in the caretaker government. Walter Elliot, forme: health min- ister. Robert S. Hudson, former agri- culture minister. Duncan Sandys, Churchill's son- in-law and former works minister. Depending on the size of the final Tory majority, Labor may find it- self in approximately the same position as its opponents were until parliament was dissolved. That is, the 'working majority" so vital to a government, will be as difficult for the Tories to maintain as it was for labor. The popular vote gave an accur- ate reflection to the sharp cleav- age in public opinion over the suc- cess or failure of the great ex- periment in socialism. r With virtually all the ballots counted the Conservatives were running behind Labor by nearly 200,000 votes. Probably the deciding factor that threw the election to the Conser- vatives was the absence of Liberal candidates in more than 500 of the 625 districts. The Liberals put only 109 candidates in the field. In those areas where a straight Tory - Labor fight developed, it ap- peared that most of the Liberal votes went to the Tories. An analy- sis of the figures indicated about two out of every three Liberals vot- ed for Churchill's party. Even so, it was a neck - and- neck race right down to the wire. Slightly more than half ridings count the votes and an- nounce returns on the night the polls close. When those results were totalled at 4 a.m. today, La- bor held a 30-seat lead over the Conservatives. Later this morning, returns from in. They came from predominantly agricultural ridings. A majority of them were won by the Conservat- ives in the 1950 election, and were considered secure for the Tories in this election. Within a few hours, the returns from these districts erased the La- bor lead, then put the Tories in front, and at one point had them nearly 50 seats ahead of the La- borites. Then, shortly after noon, the tide began to turn and the Conservative lead dropped below 40, then 30 and finally held about 22. Ten of the districts still to come were Con- servative in the 1950 election, three with small Tory majorities. The Conservatives annoupced vic- tory at 4:22 p.m., (11:22 a.m. EST) with the majority of 313 clinched. Lord Woolton, chairman of the party, announced the "glorious vic- tory' to party workers. The Conservatives showed a net gain of 23 seats and a loss of 1; the Laborites a gain of only two seats as against a loss of 22, in returns from all but 19 consti- tuencies. Communist candidates got the thrashing of their political careers. Only 10 reds stood for parliament. None came within miles of winning and all forfeited the $450 deposit all candidates must post before the election as evidence of good faith. A candidate loses this if he fails to get an eighth of the popular vote "in his constituency. The Tories, for the most party, held the constituencies they cap- tured in 1950, but Labor lost in many of the ones it took in the last election. Most of the Conser- vative candidates regained their seats by larger majorities than they had in 1950. As the gap xx picking up third para lead, eliminating second lead which superseded. CHURCHILL ELECTED Churchill himself was re-elected triumphantly in Woodford. His de- puty, Anthony Eden, also was re- turned. Attlee and most of his mini- sters retained their seats. As the second day of vote counting wore on the fate of the la- |' bor government seemed sealed. When counting of votes ended for the night Prime Minister Clement Attlee's Labor party had a lead of 30 seals over the Conservatives. But a few hours after resumption of counting today this lead was cut by two-thirds. The results last night, about half the total of parliament's 635 the|8° seats, came mainly from industrial cities. But the Conservatives' rural strongholds began to come in to- A party spokesman said that if the Conservatives win, Churchill would go to Buckingham Palace to- night to received the King's re- quest to form a new government. The party winning 313 seats or more controls the government. At dissolution of parliament three weeks ago, Labor had an effective majority of six. TORIES - WERE FAVORED The Conservatives heavily fav- ored in the betting and in public- opinion polls, had opened the cam- paign in the buoyant belief they might win control of the govern- ment by as many as 100 seats. The vigorous Lahor campaign, capped by frequent assertions that Churchill was more likely than Attlee to get the country into a war, ket trimming their optimism. When good weather yesterday brought outa heavy vote in the industrial pid .e Tories scaled their majority predict ons even farther downward. At the hal n counting early to- day, Labor puriy leaders declined to conc.de defeat, but they would not issue predictions of victory. Their was an air of gloom about Labor party headquarters and a F ty chairman said "the result cannot be decisively known until late today." FORMER HOUSE This is the composition of the House lected ir 1950: Labor 315; Conservative and allies 299 (in- cluding the Speaker who does not vote); Liberals 9 and Irish Nation- alists 2. When parliament was dis- solved three weeks ago today the standing was Labor 313; Conser- vatives and allies 297; Liberals 9, Irish Nationalists 2, independents 1, vacant 3. , It was the razor-edge majority, plus deteriorating economic con- ditions, which forced Attlee to call the election. The Socialists were practically powerless to keep the machinery of government moving in the direction they wanted it to Independent observers express- ed belief that Churchill would en- counter the same difficulty if the Tory majority was no larger. There has been specualtion he might bring some Liberals into his gov- ernment in order to get the voting support of Liberal members. ELECTION ISSUES The election was mainly fought on a cost-of-living issue, coupled with the undertone of Labor's ac- cusation that the Conservatives were a "war party." Britain's worsening financial position, which many consider the gravest crisis facing the country, was passed over in. the campaign for more popular issues. Labor stated in its pre - election statements that it would try to ob- tain peace, maintain full employ- ment and increase production, bring down living costs and to build a "just society." They accused the Conservatives of being the "party of privilege." And said they would levy more taxes and attack monopolies and combines. The Conservatives promised they would impose an excess profit tax, scrap iron and steel nationalization and stop all further proposals for state ownership; reorganize the publicly - owned rail - and road- transport sustem on a regional basis; discipline monopolies and fight restrictive practices on both sides of industry. FOREIGN AFFAIRS In foreign affairs the explosive situaton iin the Middle east came in for much attention. Labor de- fended its actions in Iran and Egypt where the Conservatives ad- vocated stronger action. One of the surprises in the first day's count of Labor votes was the sucess of rebel Aneurin Bevan and four of his principal lieutenants. In addition to the stormy Welshman, who was Labor minister when he resigned from Attlee's cabinet ear- lier this year, Mrs. Barbara Castle, Stafford Bros. ¢ MONUMENTAL WORKS 318 Dundes St. E.

CHURCHILL TRIUMPH Woodford, England (Reuters) -- Churchill -- virtually certain to be Britain's next prime minister -- returned triumphantly to his sub- urban constituency here today and for the seventh time since 1925 heard himself proclaimed member of parliament. Bareheaded, with his wife by his side, he stood on the steps of a red brick schoolhouse while the mayor .f Woodford announced he had polled 40,938 votes. His nearest opponent, Labor can- |' didate William Archer, had 22,359 votes. Cheers -- and boos -- burst from the mixed political crowd packing the school playground. There were cries of 'Good old Winnie," "God bless you, Winnie," and "Sock em Winnie." Then, as' the Labor candidate joined Churchill on the steps, a Conservative supporter yelled '"'you're not the masters now." "No, the Yanks are on top," was flung back from a man in the crowd, whose further words were drowned by angry protests from Churchill supporters. Churchill wearing a dark blue overcoat and a white scarf, smiled, gave his famed V-sign, and looked pale and grave as he declared: '"This election has been a model and has maintained the high level of political work which our British tradition embodies. "We have all felt we have a great deal in common, and now perhaps there may be a lull in our party strife which will enable us to un- derstand more of what is good in our opponents and not be so very clever about each other's short- comings." Afterwards Churchill drove back to his London home. Norman Dodds, re-elected to par- liament as Labor . member from Dartford, got down to business in a hurry this morning. He delivered to parliamentary clerks in London a list of 11 items he wants taken up as soon as the House of Com- mons convenes, No matter what your occupation . salesman, mechanic, farmer or office worker, single or married, a money emergency in these days of high prices may be too big for you to handle alone.
