ULSTER ELECTION
(Press Assn.-
MR. DE VALERA CONTESTING THE SOUTHDOWN SEAT HOBSON'S CHOICE
-By Telegraph — Copyrlght).
(Rec. 7.45 p.m.) London, Nov. 21. Twenty-seven Unionists, including the Prime Minister (Lord Craigavon) and the entire Cabinet were returned unopposed in the Northern Ireland elections, assuring a continuance of the Government which has already been 12 years in office. Mr. de Valera paid £150 deposit and was nominated for the Southdown seat at the Ulster elections. His only opponent is a Republiean, Mr. Thomas McGrath, a butcher. Consequently the Nationalists must choose between Mr. de Valera or the extreme programme of the I.R.A. It is considered that if Mr. de Valera wins the Southdown seat, he will proclaim that the electors demonstrated a desire to end partition, but it is unlikely that he will take his seat unless he reverts to his earlier attitude, that the oath of allegiance is an empty formula. He may hold a pre-election meeting in Southdown. The order under which Mr. de Valera is prohibited from erossing the border is not applicable now that he is President of the Executive Committee.
