2 GREAT BRITAIN CONSERVATIVES ADMIT DEFEAT ABANDON HOPE PARTY WILL FORM NEXT GOVERNMENT UNIONISTS PREDICT VICTORY FOR LIBERALS ——— Pollings Today In 31 London Precincts and 57 Provincial Boroughs Will Provide Excellent Index How rthe Country Is Going [Associated Pressj ' LONDON, Jan. 16. —Sunday has given a welcome respite from the strenuous work at the election sta tions and an opportunity for calm re flection over the prospects of both parties striving for control of the government. The greatest animation prevailed to day at clubs and other rendezvouses of politicians, and Saturday's results were excitedly discussed from cv( rj possible viewpoint. Although both sides preserve a sanguine air of confidence, it was evi dent today the Conservatives have abandoned hope that their party will ■ form the next government. The ut most they dare to expect is that the Liberal majority will be so reduced In the next parliament as to place the Liberals at the mercy of the Nation alists. It must be remembered that Mr-. Balfour, leader of the opposition in the house of commons, in a speech some days ago, said the great political is sues now in question would not be settled by one general election, and perhaps not by two. Clearly the former premier accurately measured the situ ation and the hopes of the tariff re formers must now be centered on some future general election. Believe Liberals Will Win An estimate made today by a well informed Unionist, based on Satur day's pollings, gives the Liberals and Laborites a clear majority of M or 100 over all parties, which would provide the Liberal government with a good working majority. Many Unionists, however, are less despondent. They do not believe the Liberals will finish the election with so good -i record. »At the National Liberal club great satisfaction is expressed over the re sults so far. i The pollings tomorrow, which In clude thirty-one London constituencies and fifty-seven provincial boroughs, will provide a better index as to how the country Is going. Should the Liberals retain the hold which they gained on the metropolis in 1906 their prospects will be regarded as much rosier than they appear now. At present, to sum up, nothing could be predicted with absolute certainty, i but only a great increase in the Union- j ist gains over Saturday, when they sained only half the number of seats they had counted on t will give them victory. If Unionists continue to gain at the same ratio, Liberals still will retain a majority of about ninety. Lloyd.George Optimistic '"Chancellor Lloyd-George said to night: »"\Ve are winning. England is declaring emphatically against govern ment by the peers and beers. The north is overwhelmingly with us." John Burns, president of the local government board, said: "All things considered in the fight between those who have too much and those who have too little, yesterday's results are exceedingly good. London has" done, much better than 1 expected. In my judgment, it has done surprisingly well. To win the seats that have been lost would have required almost super human efforts." Will Crooks, well known labor lead er, who was in Australia when the budget crisis began, and has been rac ing against time to reach London so lie might take part in the elections, arrived tonight. lie represents Wool wich in the commons, and was received by his constituency with remarkable demonstrations, Among the Interesting members elected yesterday were the Rev, c. Silvester Home, Congregational min ister, who won on the Liberal ticket at Ipswich, and Almeric Hugh Paget, Unionist candidate for Cambridge, whose wife is a daughter of the late William C. Whitney. Battle Well Maintained "The battle Is well maintained at every point," said Winston Spencer Churchill tonight. "Great victories cannot be won without some slaughter, Manchester is magnificent, London is steadfast and the Tories are on a lee shore, and every tack or change of weather will bring them nearer the reef." As foretasted, the tremendous ab sorption of the country in the election struggle brought an unpreo«iented number of electors to th" polls. An average of 84 per cent if registered electors recorded their votes This In crease in the voting strength seems largely to have been cast on the Union ist side. In London the twelve scats contested gave an aggregated increase of 12,485 in the Unionist vote and a slight decrease to tha Liberals, while the provinces Increased the Unionist vote 45,942 and the Liberal vote only 4513. This increase is a source of the greatest BRtiHfHction to the Unionist press, uk showing the rapid grewth in lavor of tariff reform. Editorials in the morning papers take up an attitude of tempered en thusiasm on both sides regarding Sat urday's results as "a good beginning" which should serve to provoke the ad herents of the respective parties to i. lie- ed energy. Newspapers Express Opinions a representative example of the Tory side Is the Daily Telegraph. which says that results on Saturday were a good day's work, alike In what was actually accomplished and in it* encouragement and stimulous to further energy on the part of those fighting for the cause of liberty, justice and prosperity against the iniquitous 1 onslaughts of ,i grasping and rapacious junta of revolutionists. The Telegraph considers the progress of tariff reform in the last four years positively astounding, and says the urgent business of the Unionists Is to press the advantage and convert the partal defeat of the enemy Into a com plete rout. The Chronicle, typical of Liberal opinion, says: "The election of 1906 was a landslide. Nothing *hort of a corresponding landslide' could have de feated the Liberals, and Saturday's polling shows there is not going to be such m landslide nor ranythtng ap proaching it. There is, Indeed, a cer tain swing of the pendulum since 1906, but it has moved within such narrow limits that, if the counties remain 'alrlv constant to the people'! cause.

The selling was pushed on good news as well, indicating the conviction of holders that the level ol prices already bad anticipated the ad vantages derived from those happen ings. A general movement assigned for the liquidation was the disappointment that a general public demand for stocks had not developed with thi' distribution of profits to supply funds available for investment. The money stringency abated ma terially in New York, and there was a world-Wide relaxation on money rates and .i substantial recuperation In condi tions of the great central reserve banks abroad. The pressure to sell stocks diminished as this relaxation pro gressed, but no aggressive demand awakened. The necessity of preparing for other demands for monej in p peet was the supposed cause of this ab stention from strengthening the securi ties market on the part of large specu lative operators. Belated Payments Cause Squeeze In New York large payments soon must be made of subscriptions to new capita] Issues. Belated preparations by syndicates for making these payments played an important part in the squeeze in the money market with which the opened. It is evident also largo siiiii^ ire being embarked in enter prises that, have no representation in listed securities. Light, traction and telephone mergers and great irrigation projects are among the enterprises of this character. Favorable advices continue from most branches of industry. The substantial reduction in surplus stocks of refined copper for December made a good Im pression in that trade. Much of the stock liquidation of the early part of the week was believed to he due to adjustments of accounts necessitated by mk Island disciplinary measun b. Deeper causes underlying the re action were, nevertheless, generally recognized. The question of relation between the national government and corporations was kept in a prominent place by the Introduction of bills In congress embodying President Taft'a md h\ conference n by Union pacific and government of ficials, looking toward settlements of the suits to dissolve tho Harriman merger.

PROPHESIED BY PARTY ADHERENT PREDICTS REPUBLICANS WILL LOSE NEXT ELECTION SAYS VOTERS DISGUSTED AT TAFT'S ATTITUDE Claims Death of Dominant Political Organization Is Certain Unless It Is Purged of Aldrich, Cannon, Ballinger and Their Ilk [Special to The Herald.l sax PRANCItCO, Jan. 15.—One of the most Influential business men of San Francisco, a man whose name is known In financial and commercial cir cles throughout the entire state anil who always lias supported the regu lar Republican organization, in nation al, state an.l local affairs, and mi origi nal Taft man, Incidentally, predicts the Republican party will be swept completely out of power nt the next election. To The Herald he gave the Following interview this afternoon, un* dor pledge his name would not be di vulged for the present. • "He Who rung may road. It ll in conceivable that any man possessed df a modicum of Intelligence, be he Republican, Democrat or what-not, should fail to comprehend the politi cal revolution that, in my Judgment, is Inevitable, regardless of any course the present national administration may adopt from thll time forth. "I believe I was one of the first men in California to announce myself for Taft. 1 had been led to believe, as the whole country had, that Taft, a graduate from ihe Roosevelt school of politics, with that great reform presi dent standing sponsor for him, could not fall to carry out the Roosevelt policies, so-called, s.i [ar as it lay with in his power to do so. But he has not only failed to make a practical move in the direction indicated by his sagacious predecessor! but, if 1 can read correctly, he has failed signally to make an attempt to do so. Thought Taft Would Keep Pledges "1 believe nine-tenths of the Repub lican voters in this country expected Taft had the strength and the courage to keep his sacred pledges, expressed and Implied, in regard to tariff revis i ion and other vital policies along the lines which he knew Roosevelt favored and by which the latter would have fought, had he been renominated and elected. And Just as firmly do 1 be lieve that as great a proportion of the voters are completely disgusted and chagrined at the attitude of the coun try's chief magistrate. "I speak for nobody but myself, but 1 want to add a large number of busi ness and professional men in this city who were among the most ardent sup porters of Taft at the last general elec tion have said to me that not only would they refuse to vote for him again, should hi' be a candidate, but they have begun to realize, as never before, the utter incapacity of the forces before which the president ap pears to have bent the knee as a token of re»peet—forces which patriotic citi zens, regardless of their political pref erences, distrust and hate. "As Aldrich, Cannon and their like have fnr some time been unthinkable as factors in our government, so Taft himself Is' becoming. President Received with Respect "Jhe Pacific* coast states received the president, on his recent tour of the country, with that degree of respect and enthusiasm to which the occupant of the mightiest official post within the Rift of the people is entitled. I fear lie mistook the hearty greeting accorded him by the Republicans of San Francisco as In the nature of an indorsement of his policies. If he did he erred greatly. I personally know many of the men who participated prominently in his reception In this city already, at that time, were be ginning to question Ills capacity to handle the situation confronting him. Some of these have since come to the conclusion that their douljfrs and fears were well founded. Party's Death Will Be Suicide "if the Republican party should die it will be a case of suicide. And It certainly will die, in my judgment, unless it speedily purge Itself of such factors as Aldrich. Cannon. Bellinger find Knox. and indicate to Taft. In terms unmistakable, itxht it will hold him responsible for the future good behavior of the party. "I dislike the term 'revolution'—lt smacks of blood. And a bloody revo lution " do not look for. Hut if the country is not already in a state of revolt there must be a big body of mendacious reporters in the press gal lery in the national capitol. But with out their aid we all must know that the nation is now facing a dire ex tremity, and that if the president does not take the situation firmly in hand and solve it, nnd that without delay, the system of government will ho revo lutionised by an angry and long out rased people."
