Newport (Monmouthshire) bye-elec-tion, vice Hnslnm, resulted:— Clarry (Conservative) 13,515 Bowen (Labour) 11,425 Moore (Liberal) 8,841 None of the canidates are officially Coalition, but the Liberal was indirectly supported by Downing Street, where Clarrv’s victory is feared as a great blow to Coalition prestige. AN ELECTION SPEECH. (Received this day at 8 a.vn.) LONIJON, Oct 19. Mr Worth itigtuni Evang spedkiiig at Colchester, said the Foreign situation required an election; No British Minister could go fo the Peace Conference authoritatively, unless an election first decided the nation’s policy. Personally I would stand as if Conservative minded Liberal, who agreed with the Conservatives liiaiii issues at the election, hut did not want .their help. Ho said it waS likely that no party would have a clear majority, in which event he would certainly choOse a LlbejraLConxerviitive combination.
