THE DUNDEE ELECTION.
PRESS CRITICISM. MR. CHURCHILL'S OPINION. Received 11th, 9.40 p.m. London, May 11. The Times says the great surprise of tke election waa the large shrinkage in the Labor vote. The Chronicle interprets the result as • smashing blow at tariff reform. The Telegraph says the phase ot the election was practically fought on the basis of a clap-trap Budget. Cheap sugar, introduced at such a juncture, was a direct bribe to the locnl and material J interests of Dundee. The Daily News says .Scotland's staunchness to liberalism continues. Hie Standard Says the reduction of the sugar duties was the determining factor. Mr. Churchill claims that this was a thnndertxilt from the Horth, and a triumph for freeUrade, temperance, and Liberalism. The ridiculous antics of the Suffragettes, he said, brought him valuable assistance from enormous masses of Liberal women, also the Socialists, who had committed the mistake of sneering at the pension schemes.
