The most remarkable tests of
physical endurance are being: made
by Lloyd George and Winston
Churchill, and the most striking ex
ception is Herbert* Asquith, who, hav
ing a stiff contest to meet, has con
fined his efforts to his own con
stitutency, Paisley. Somewhat notice
able is that, whether through lack of
necessary funds or through having
but few press organizations, the
labor campaign appears to be con
ducted with less noise and stress
than either the conservative or
liberal campaigns, but nevertheless,
the labor leaders all have full con
fidence that their party will gain In
strength In the new parliament.
The campaign has been accom
panied by the usual personalities, but
with the case of Mr. Churchill, who
disturbed by labor interruptions, tne
toward the labor party, and whose
meetings therefore have been most
risturbed by labor interrupters, the
campaign on the whole has been con
ducted fairly and orderly.

Lady Aator In Campaign,
Thirty-four women are standing
for parliament in the present elec
tions, a3 against 33 in the last gen
eral election and 16 In that of 191S.
The three women members of the
house of commons, Lady Astor, Mrs.
Wintrlngham and Mrs. Phlllpson, are
In the field again and may be re
elected. it Is considered unlikely
that many of the others will Bucceed
at the polls, and most of them are
waging admittedly hopeless fights.
Lady Astor, who Is a conservative,
appears to have a good chance of re
talnng her seat in Plymouth. Her
only opponent, Capt. G. W. Brennan,
labor, keeps the idea of capital levy
to the forefront of the party pro
gram. Lady Aator advocates a vigor
ous social program and Is receiving
an excellent hearing.
