imiDAY, N'OVKMUKU 15Ui, 1935. Lights on Vehicles, To-morrow (Saturday),


4-39 p.m. In common with the rest of the country,


party headquarters deliuitely dislike. Thq rain and the cold added to the diflicultv of getting reluctant voters to the polling booths and made quite a number of willing voters want cars to take them there. “ Of course, i t jiiight have been worsc-^if there Juul been fog or snow,” one organiser said. Certainly there was a big demand for cars ami in tliis important direction the Con­ servatives had a big advantage over the Labour party. Especially were tUc cars needed in the country districts and, ivitli their eyes on the villages, the Conserva­ tives were not at all happy about the weather. They claim th a t the rural area i'- almost solidly supporting the National Clovcrnmeni and if rain and cold^ kept rural voters a t home, they feared this dis­ advantage outweighed any benefit the greater number of cars gave tliom. _ Quiet as the polling stations apiicarcd during the (lav time, tliey were very busy in the even­ ing, and as polling extended to nine o’clock, wc^ should not ho surprised to find tlic poll little below a record percentage. We shall iiavu to possess our srniU in patience for the result in the Clitheroo Division until round about otio o'clock to-day (Friday). Pundits wore saying last night th a t the carlv results would give a sure indication of the Clitheroc result. They forget th a t Clilheroe quite often takes a line of its own. At the last election, for instance, the Division did not stampede hendlong into tlie protective arms of the National Govern­ ment. Instead of the huge majorities else- wliore, Sir William Brass had an almost modest majority—for tliat elect ion--of under ten thousand, Mr. Awbery poUmg quite TOM»cctabIv. One could speculate all niglit on the result. W'c easily resist the tempta- tion, however, for speculation is useless— and the result will he declared about one
