A FLATTERING VOTE

— By Telegraph — Copyrlght),

SYDNEY, Monday. The Herald editorially comments as follows. — "The shattering defeat of the Langites will arouse elation throughout the Commonwealth. The people of New South Wales have notably upheld the Governor's action in dismissing an outlaw and rebel Government. Mr. Lang's own misrepresentations (which were deliberately false) of the issues upon which the Governor acted, of the issues at Saturday's election, of the Premiers' Conference resolutions, and of the declared intentions of his election opponents, have been treated by the people with deI'ision. The fate of Mr. M. Gosling (formerly Chief Secretary), whose administration will be the subject of more than one searching inquiry, and of Mr. J. Lamaro (ex-Attorney-Gen-eral), who disgraced his office by expressing contempt of the High Court, ■ "^'ill be especially appreciated throughI out the State. Messrs Stevens and | Bruxner have received the most flati ^ei'ing vote of confidence ever accordod to a political appeal in New South | Wales. I The Telegraph, in an editorial, states: "Though it has been a » l sweeping victory, the StevensBruxner Government has no easy 5 time ahead of it. Eighteen months | and a little rnore of Langism have brought the State to the verge of | bankruptcy as well as civil war. The new crew of the Ship of State | ^ill have to work off the year's deijcit of £11,700,000 and the rest of ■ be legacy of Langism.
