Waldorf Astor. the aspirant's father, for
merly of New York, who still owns more
than one hundred million dollars worth
of real estate on Manhattan Island, de-
serve the whole credit for winning young
AStOr'S seat in parliament.
Mrs. Astor even took the stump. No
meeting was too big or too hostile for her
to speak at, and when the hecklers APP
peared she joyously faced the music"
She spoke I'm every ward in Plymouth,
and, wearing the party cOlors, canvassed
the voters indefatigably, preferring to
labor in the strongholds of the enemy"
A stone was thrown at her during the
campaign. 1t hit her toque. and cost the
liberals many votes
On the polling day. smiling and conf
dent Mrs. Aston rushed hithcr and
thither in a landeau drawn by span of
horses. AS the day wore on she called
personally upon many hesitant voters. In
this part of her canvassing she was care
fully Swallowed by detectives hired by
the other side to motto any attempted brib-
cry, what the election laws designate
as corrupt practice"

After the victory Mrs. Astor said:
II am very proud that my husband is
to represent this borough with so many
close and vital historical associations with
the United States. What have done for
blood in my veins. and we won because
we stood for the empire and the British
constitution. What is more 1 tell you
that now my husband has got his seat
we will take care that he does not lose
it."
Two days after election both Mr. and
Mrs. Astor lost their voices and were
forced to go to bed as a result of the
strain to which they had been subjected.
Lady Parker. formerly Miss Leighton.
was an invaluable factor in helping Sir
Gilbert, the novelist, to win Gravesend
She is an old campaigner, having helped
Sir Gilbert win his seat in 1900. For
weeks. accompanied by her woman
friends. she automobiled to Gravesend,
was made. going from door to door. chat
ting with the wives, and exacting
promises that they would see that their
man" voted for Sir Gilbert. From in
fiuential unionists and from friends in
town she obtained the loan Of automobiles
and conveyances to bring the voters to
the polls.
Equal assistance was given by Lady
Willoughby de Eresby, formerly Miss
Breese, to her husband at Horncastle
where he contested an election. She ad-
dressed public meetings. and made a gen.
eral canvass of the district. During one
of these meetings she was subjected to
a running fire of criticism from one Of
the sharp hecklers. who have the features
of the general election. but her ready
Americanism soon had her sporting audi
ence on her side.
Nor months Mrs. Spencer Clay went
down to the quiet old-world town of Tun-
bridge, situated a few miles from the
fashionable Tunbridge Wells, for which
constituency her husband, Capt. Spencer
Clay. was elected in the unionists' in
tereStS.
