LONDON. Sept. 2o.-The cleo
ton campaign is developing un-
expected heat, chiefly due to the
vigorous efforts of the liberals to
show united front. Personalities
are figuring more than usual in the
contests. Joseph Chamberlain, the
secretary of state for the colonies,
by reason of the aggressive tone of
all his speeches, is the object of
many bitter personal attacks. Some
OF his enemies have declared him
TO be politically dishonest, and even
go further than that.
Winston Churchill. in Oldham,
has been so vigorously attacked that
General Sir Evelyn Wood, the adj
jutant general, had to come to his
assistance with letter declaring
that there was nothing dishonor-
able connected with his resignation
from the army and vouching for
the correctness of Churchill's dual
role of officer and correspondent.
Some of the liberals of Oldham
apparently make more serious in
situations against the young can
didate, but, like his father, Church
i'll seems to revel in a fight and is
said to stand a good chance ofbeing
elected.
Another war character, Captain
Lalnbton of the British cruiser
Powerful, has been assisted in his
fight against the government by
getting letter from Lord Rorse-
berry. He also is backed by all the
interests.
Church associations are figuring
actively in the campaign. The I'm
perial Protestant Federation has
dates to oppose to the utmost any
tending to bring Eng
land and the Vatican in closer touch
or towards Remaining" the es-
tablished church. On the other
hand. the leading Roman Catholic
papers almost unanimously support
the conservatives, believing that
they will achieve the project of
giving Ireland a Catholic univer-
sity and in other ways see that the
educational interests of Catholics in
England do not suffer.
The annual church congress, in
progress at Newcastle, was attend

copal and lay dignitaries, including
