Only Four In Opposition. Giving the seat to the Liberals, the House, when it meets on January 30, will consist of 38 Conservatives, two So cialists and two Liberals. It is expected Hawthornthwaite. of Nanaimo. may claim the first position on Mr. Speakers left by virtue of seniority in Parliamentary affairs, but this will not be conceded In consequence of the established recog nition throughout Canada of the Liberal party as the natural opponents of Con servatism. Cabinet Ministers have been returned with handsome majorities, in every case much larger than In their last appear ances before the electorate. The Premier, as expected, headed the poll in Victoria, and alo defeated by a crushing majority the opposition leader. Stuart Henderson, in Yale. Announcement will be made by the first Minister within the ensuing few days of his decision to sit for Victoria. Oliver, Beaten, Quits Game. The opposition leader, John Oliver, went down with his party. In both Victoria and Delta, occupying but second place on Jits party's ticket in this city and being van quished In his home by Frank J. Macken zie, with a runaway majority. In conse quence of the overwhelming expression of confidence by the people in the Conserva tive Premier and policy, Mr. Oliver an nounces his final retirement from politics. Speaking over the long-distance telephone this morning, he said: New Leader Springs Up. life he had never turned his back upon a friend, nor his face away from an enemy. v "Will you print thatT be, ylld to ward the press table, and added: "I am sorry th- editor of the paper ts not here to answer me himself."

He cited recent electloi in Hie riAiu ii & i . . where, he said, the successful candi date was opposed ry leaainK pl" of Chicago. Payne Tariff Defended. Ridiculing the charge that the Pavne tariff law was enacted for the benefit of New England Interests, the Speaker cited numerous statistics to support his declaration that products of New Knglsnd manufacturers had shown a decided increase under pro tection policies as compared with the increase of manufactures In other Former Congressman John Allen, of MIsBiasiDDl. who addressed the ciuo. supported the arguments of Speaker Cannon in defending the rules of the House, but he said he could not agree with Speaker Cannon. Senator Aid rich and President Taft that the Parne law was the best tariff ever enacted. The leadership of the Liberal party in British Columbia was forced upon me when J. A. MacIonald retired. I did not seek that honor. From this time I am out of politics. After yesterday I will be merely a spectator of the political game. The farm is good enough for me." Vancouver City presented a surprise in but one feature, the leadership of the poll being wrested from Hon. Mr. Bowser by H. H. Watson, a new factor who prom ises to make a mark in the political life of the province. A. H. B. McGowan came next, and Bowser third in the winning ticket. So far as having a close struggle with Mavor Llndmark. of Revelstoke. for com mand of that district. Hon. Thomas Tay lor. Minister of Works, was returned with an Increased majority, his so-called Independent opponent forfeiting his de posit. In Atlin, Hon. Dr. Young also in creased substantially his majority. The final figures reading: Young 107, Kearns 65. This morning's additions to the gen eral information of the public in election matters were all in the nature of con firmations of further Conservative tri umph, the Llllooet seat being carried by Archie McDonald, "who was beaten by Mark Eagleson In 19-7 by eight votes." and who now turns the tables upon his old-time opponent. Socialists Forfeit Deposits. In Grand Forks the tidings is of a win for Ernest MiUer over Mclnnef, his So clalift oDDonent. by 171. with a few small poils to hear from by which this hand- nm lead will be still- further lncreasea. From Comox. M. J. Hanson wires that his return by a considerable majority is accom dI ished. In Okanogan Hon. Price Ellioon is re turned with a majority of upward of S00. In Vancouver and Victoria cities all Socialist candidates lost their deposit imleed. throughout the Province tlie So cialist party lias contributed handsomely - to provincial revenue. It if a curious feature of the result that Socialist representation Is centered In the Nanalmo-I.adysmlth mining section, while the two liberals chosen are in ad joining constituencies', on the island which stand to bf-nefit materially by the development of the government's railway policy Albemi and Ksqulmalt. And it is signinVant that the success ful candidates, liberals, were in accord with the railway policy and therefore out of harmony w'th their party platform In lis essential feature. , lH-al Option Loses Ground. Although details and figures with re spect to the local option plebiscite taken coincidentally with the election are not as yet available, it is apparent that the proposed allowance of local control of liquor matters has been defeated through a less total than SO per cpnt of the vote polled for members being recorded in favor of the suggested change of Juris diction. The plebiscite vote was made as simple and direct as possible, deter mination of the issue being left to the people. In a manner thoroughly accept able to the advocates of local option. Tlieir wishes In the matter were neg atived apparently through a considerable portion of ths voters, after casting their ballots for the parliamentary candidates of their choic. refraining from voting on the plebiscite. Hundreds of congratulatory telegrams were received by Premier McBride today, including messages from Rordln Moul tain. Roblin and the conservative party at Ottawa.
