The Government and Conservative political circles are not as concerned over the defeat suffered in the Wavertree by-election as might have been expected. The loss of the stronghold was a startling gain fon Labour, but the cause of the Government's defeat is very apparently not due to the strength of the Labour opinion in that constituency alone,
Shock tactics, combined with the rhetorical ability and handsome personality of Mr. Randolph Churchill, are regarded as mainly responsible for the loss of the formerly staunch Conservative stronghold at Waver- tree in yesterday's by-election."
Mr. Churchill's entry, it is believed, split the Con- servative vote and allowed a Labour candidate
to poll a majority.
