Captain Norton's motion was lost by a vote of 249 to 205. The House divided on party lines, only two Members of the Opposition voting with the Government, and only nine supporters of the Government voting with the Opposition.[237] Of the Members of the Opposition who voted in support of Captain Norton's motion, two shortly afterward became members of the Cabinet in Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's Liberal Ministry, and fifteen others became members of the Ministry, but not of the Cabinet, or inner circle.[238] Captain Norton himself became one of the four Junior Lords of the Treasury. The latter functionaries "are expected to gather the greatest number of their own party into every division [of the House of Commons], and by persuasion, promises, explanation, and every available expedient, to bring their men from all quarters to the aid of the Government upon any emergency. It is also their business to conciliate the discontented and doubtful among the ministerial supporters, and to keep every one, as far as possible, in good humor."[239] * * * * * In _The Nineteenth Century and After_, for April, 1906, Mr. J. H. Heaton, in an article entitled: _Wanted! An End to Political Patronage_, discussed at length some of the after effects of the memorable debate of July 6, 1905. Mr. Heaton had been returned to Parliament from Canterbury in 1885, 1886, 1892, 1895, and 1900; the last four occasions as an unopposed candidate. He had carried the Imperial Penny Postage Scheme in 1888; he had introduced telegraph money orders in England; the parcel post to France, etc.; and the freedom of the City of London in a gold casket had been conferred on him in 1899.
