Elections in United Kingdom result in
landslide for Campbell?Bannerman and
tne liberal party=-=Chamberlain and
imperial tariff policy badly defeated
[Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan.]
London, Jan. 16 ? The elections throughout the United Kingdom have developed
into a landslide for the Campbell-Bannerman ministry, the liberal party and free trade.
The liberals are carrying Scotland by overwhelming majorities and it is believed they will
have a clear majority of the entire house without taking the Irish vote into account.
The defeat of Chamberlain's promised imperial tariff thus far has been as decisive
as the most enthusiastic free trader could wish.
The first elections were held Saturday. January 13, and the last will be held Satur
day, January 27. A sufficient number of the constituencies have voted to remove all doubt
^ as to the outcome of the contest.
