Government Wins As was generally expected, the elections two weeks ago, proved a resounding vielory for the Government parties, and a second smashing defeat for the fellowers of Mr. Long. Never before in the history of New South Wales, has a political party been so overwhelmed at the polls fon two successive occasions. Never before has there been so heavy a majority for a Government as that voted recently—except three years ago for the same Government against the same opponents.
There were two causes for the Government victory, and they have been stressed from the outset of the campaign. They were the fine record of the Stevens Bruxner Administra-ton in redeeming the State from the chaos under Langism in 1992, and the hopeless handicap which Mr. Long has come to represent to the Labour arty.
"The Government richly deserves fs success on its own merits. The distraction and desperation of the Long days are gone. A real spirit of ce-operative effort has taken its place in the community's daily life. The Long faction hac been routed again at the pells because its whole raison @étre is its refusal to play the team game in Australia's recovery. For therein lies the inspiration which has caught the Australian people in the fight against the depression.
