Ramsay Quits In Favor of Baldwin and Conservatives ONDON, Nov. lead- labor af- December, first experiment with a labor government, which has lasted a little less than a year, come to an end today when Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald went to Buckingham palace to place the resignation of the c-binet in the hands of his sovereign. Ex-Premier Stanley Baldwin, head of tije tive party, will resume ership relinquished to ter the elections of 1923.

The Daily political correspondent predicts a sensational announcement will be made regarding the Zinoviev letter. He declares its authentcity is virtually certain. A special messenger, the correspondent says, brought the letter from Moscow to London, while three or four letters were sent simultaneously. One of the letters, he says, handed to a very prominent Conservative who gave it to the press, office, learning the newspapers possessed a copy, immediately released theirs. Baldwin will take office with one of the most decisive majorities ever accorded a lory government, however, and political observers agree it will be four or five years before MacDonald and bis colleagues will have another chance to govern.

The last act of the labor government was to institute investigation into the source and authenticity of the Zinoviev letter, a subversive document alleged to be spurious, which caused the MacDonald cabinet untold trouble in the closing days of the election campaign. The labor cabinet held its last meetings at No. 10 Downing street and decided to resign. A committee reported on its inquiry into the oviev matter and according to the well informed Daily Chronicle, may be expected. Following its overwhelming defeat at the polls, the government had no alternative but to resign.

The cabinet decided, however, to wait until today in order to give, its committee, headed by Lloyd Haldane and Lord Parmoor, a chance to make an official investigation of the Zinoviev letter. Then after the committee had reported, Ramsay MacDonald went to the palace. King George had returned from Sandringham and accepted resignation.

The unknown trend of this vote caused vastly inoro uncertainty about the outcome today than there was two weeks ago.

The most cheer for the Democrats that the New York World (strongly for John W. Davis) could muster in its headlines was the following: victory forecast. is thought Such wagers as were placed on the actual voting began today were on the number of elector 1 votes each candidate would get. Some money was placed on ability to name four states that La Follette would carry. Those who ventured a risk on this selected Wisconsin, North and South Dakota and Minnesota, with some favoring Nebraska and Montana as among the possibilities.

It was conceded generally that La Follette would get the electoral vote that was won by Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 when he ran second to Woodrow Wilson with SS votes in the electoral college but there was great interest in observing whether La Follette would poll the popular vote of over 4,000,000 polled for Roosevelt in that election. With 266 electoral votes necessary to win, conservative Republican spokesmen forecast not less than 300 for Coolidge, while optimistic Democratic spokesmen figure Davis to win with between 280 and 300. There were usual and unusual features about, the formal close of the campaign. The usual consisted of the customary statements of confidence by the campaign managers, to-wit: Chairman Butler, Republican: are confident of the election of Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes.

Chairman Shaver, Democrat: view the result with the utmost For the first time in history, however, the campaign was closed with a radio address by the two major party banner hearers, millions from coast to coast hearing Mr. last appeal and those with sets attuned from Rhode Island to Minnesota hear ing Mr. Davis make his final man I for "honesty in which has been his campaign slogan from the outset. Davis' managers felt it was a waste of effort to attempt to have the radio hookup for his speech extend to the west coast as it did for Coolidges' address. Davis did not visit the coast during the campaign and it was the feeling of his managers that if the coast states were to be won from Coolidge by anyone they would be won by La hette.
