Premier Bracken May Be Forced ^ Into Coalition

Winnipeg, July 28�Later returns on the voting in the provincial tlcctions yesterday leave the result very much in doubt. That Premier Bracken will have the largest following in the next legislature seems assured but whether it will 1m; sufficiently large to form a government without a further coalition is very much in doubt. At neon today the Liberal-Progressives luid returned 18 members and their candidates were leading in 6 (mtests Conservatives had relumed 7 members and their candidates we.re leading in 9 contests; Social Credit candidates had carried 3 seats and were leading- in 2; C.C.F. candidates had wen one seat and were leading- in 3 contests; Independents had one seat in the ha.g and were leading1 in 2 contests. 1 Cetnmunist was elected and the election is deferred in two constituencies. If the candidates leading at noon make the grade the best the government can hope for is 24 'eats and possibly the two deferred seats, or 26 in all in a house of 55, and to carry on it would require a working agreement with the C. C.F., Social Credit or Independent members elected.

Rigid Censorship Cuts Off News hut Government Professes to Control Situation
London, July 28�It Ls virtually im-possible to learn anything definite as to the progress of the civil war which has been raging for the past ten. days in Spain and in Spanish Morocco. The strictest kind of censorship has been imposed in both Spain and Morocco, and censored news generally lies. Pieced together such fragmentary news as appears fairly trustworthy indicates the contest has been a very sanguinary one, with the death toll mounting up to 30,000. The revolutionists seem tij have counted largely upon disaffection in the army and navy, but this evidently was not, as deep-rooted as was anticipated. True entire military units at different, points have declared for the revolution, but sufficient num-
