Women's Organized Work.

AS a particular instance of how the
women work, it may be noted that 5000
members of the Lady Primrose League
of London have undertaken to trace 49,
900 voters who will be detained in London
by business or pleasure during the cleo
ton days and persuade them to return to
their country homes and register their
votes at election time. The ladies grand
council of the league receives the names
Of such voters from all it's agents
throughout the country.
The suffragettes are, of course large
1y represented in this great army but
they by no means constitute the majority
of these feminine cohorts. 1t is safe to
say, however, that fost of the woman
workers are struggling to elect the union
list candidates, or rather to defeat the
present government. Whether they will
succeed is still an open question. but at
all events 1t is fair to describe this con-
test as. beyond all precedent, an amazon
election.

Special Cablegram TO The Star
LONDON, January S.-NIore than ever
before the great political battle which
is now raging in this country has grown
TO resemble one of the hottest of mod
ern American presidential contests. 1t
IS strenuous and heated beyond prece-
dent. and as the climax is approac hed
it is developing the bitter personal ele-
ment which is usually absent in Eng
lish campaigns. The personalities which
disf1gure it are not, Of course, between
candidates as in the savage Blaine
Cleveland campaign of 1884, but between
the leaders of the opposing parties.
Liar and other epithets of personal
abuse are weapons which are seldom
rcsorted to in British election platforms,
but both sides i'll this contest are losing
their tempers and self-control in deal
ing with the arguments and tactics of
their opponents.
It is found necessary at almost every
political meeting, of which there are
about 1000 held daily at the present
time, to limit the attendance strictly
to known sympathizers with the party
under whose banner the gathering is
held. One is left to wonder at the eff
ticacy. of this English practice of
preaching only to the converted
1t is not. in fact. at public rallies that
the real work of the campaign is done
Personal canvaSsing is the real thing and
this has been reduced to a fine art in
England. Every day from now until the
polling begins quarter of million
women will go from house to house
through the length and breadth of the
country trying to persuade the voters
and voters wives to use their influence
on one side or the other Every news
paper keeps a section for giving advice
to women on how to deal with voters
and the fashion columns. in spite of Mrs.
Steers denunciation, continue to give
sketches of ideal canvassing gowns.

An Economic Crisis.

The unionists also are lukewarm in
the face of what they regard as the
greatest economic crisis in the history
of the British empire. They believe that
the empire will be in serious danger of
its existence within the next five years
If the present government is returned
with substantial majority, and If the
truth be told. many unionists would be
willing to concede local self government
to Ireland if thereby they could secure a
sound financial policy at home and ade-
quate preparation for national defense
Next Saturdays polings i'm sixty-eight
constituencies ought to give a decisive
indication of the national verdict unless
the contest is remarkably close. Twelve
London and fifty-six provincial constit-
uencies go to the polls next Saturday,
large numbers Monday and Tuesday, and
the voting will drag out through a fort
night
The issue is in no wise open to a conf
dent prophecy The present tendency
seems to fOreShadOW new liberal gov
eminent with small working majority
On the other hand, it is within the pos
sibilities that the conservatives may win
enough followers to capture control. They
are most likely to suffer through apathy
but such a campaign as is being carried
on must bring out the most hardened
stay-at-homes. That there will be many
returns to former unionist allegiance of
seats which the radicals won four years
ago is not doubted.

Tariff Reform Wins Liberals.

The long list of seeding liberals who
have been won over to tariff reform
published during the week, indicates that
there may be great surprises in the
coming elections. Many OF these are
manufacturers, who may influence the
votes of their workers. The unionist
leaders proclaim their confidence in the
result, and they undoubtedly have hope
but unionist victory would require
such an enormous turnover that it is
questionable whether, even with the tide
In favor Of that party, more can be done
than reduce the governments majority
to such small margin that it would
have to depend on the Irish vote for
legislation. This might result in speedy
dissolution. and another appeal to the
country in which the unionists would
have better prospects of success.
Mr.. Balfour, Lord Lansdowne. Lord
Miner. Lord CurZon, Lord Rothschld
