LIBERALS ROUTING THE CONSERVATIVES
Special from United Press }


 London. Dec 16--OOne of the chief arguments used by the Conser- vatives in their campaign against the Liberals-that the political agitation by the latter is causing a collapse of English industries, was punctured to- day by the report of the board of except cotton spinning greatly inn proved in November over the same month a year ago.
 The cotton industry, it is explained, is suffering from a shortage in the American crop and not from politf- cal discussion The report greatly embarrassed the conservatives who are now charging that it does not represent the true industrial condi- the Liberal campaign
 Another situation that is causin 2 the Conservatives alarm is a shortaee e in speakers of note due to the fact that some of the leading orators in the party have been subjected to rough treatment from hostile audi ences-
 Lord Pembroke and Lord Denby were assaulted and attacked mercf- lessly after their speech last night. Similar treatment has been accorded other aristocratic speakers with the result that the men upon whom the Conservatives depended for speeches have refused to take any part in the campaign.
 The attitude assumed by the Con- servative orators is construed by the Liberals as proof that the vast ma 1ority of the voters will vote in the January election to sustain the bud get and curb the power of the upper tody.
