LONDON, Dec. 15.-Public feeling has

In many instances they were insultcd
The Liberals probably will introduce a
bill 10 add canvassing at election to the
corrupt practice act and make IT illegal
The Liberals suffered greatly from the
activities Of women opponents, especially
those in fashionable circles.
The Indignation is not against the suf-
(ragcttes. Voters who do not sy,npathize
with women, who are lighting like men
for the franchise, simply laugh at them
believing them crazed with vanity and
love Of notoriety, The anger is against
the women canvusscrs, particularly
against the danes of the Primrose league
who have never before been so active
as now.
II can hardly be conceived in the
United STATES how serious a part is
played by English women in a general
election The most Industrious arc tho

the memory OF Lord Beaconsdcld. the

This time they said that iC the Liberal

poyerl would give up his local resi-
dencc and let his estate lie falow. In
proof OF that they cited how he had al =

Many rural electors arc too ignorant to
see the truth, but they know the diff
ference 1t makes when his lordship Is
away, and that is enough for them Most
Of the women politicians arc expert fair
