The next year came the famous meeting at the Carlton Club when the Conservative members of the Coalition decided to cut themselves adrift from Mr. Lloyd George. Mr. Bonar Law became Prime Minister and Mr. Baldwin became Chancellor of the Exchequer. A few months later, Bonar Law died and the Prime Ministership fell to Stanley Baldwin, His first Ministry was short-lived. In November, 1923, he called for a vote of confidence on the Tariff Reform issue and was defeated. The first Labour Government came into office; but in 1924 he was back as Prime' Minister with over 400 Conservatives behind him. That Government lasted until 1929. When Mr. Baldwin next {ook office was as the chief supporter of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald in a National Government. The two have changed places and Mr. Baldwin is Prime Minister again, but not in a Conservative Government; albeit, among his supporters the " Conservative Party is dominant. Whether he will ever be a Conservative Prime Minister again depends on events. Certainly in the last few years he has found more critics from among members of his own party than from his recognized opponents and more unkind things have been said of him by professing Conservatives than by even the extreme section of the Labour Party.
