LLOYD GEORGE THE ISSUE.
Around Him Revolves the Whole British
Election.

London, Thursday, Nov. l4.-The is
sue in the coming election is whethe,
the country win endorse Lloyd George
proposal that the present coalition gov
ernment, with himself as premier, shall
be continued after the war for the work
OF making peace and carrying on the la.
Dor OF reconstruction.
Never before were British political
conditions as chaotic as they are to-day
The war has shattered old party lines.
The electoral reform bill adopted by
Parliament during the summer of 1917
virtually doubled the number of voters.
It gave the ballot to all women over
thirty, men over twenty-one and soldiers
under twenty This added six mil.
lion females and two million males to
the voting lists.
Mr.. Lloyd George has before him the
difficult task of trying to keep together
that majority of the conservative party
which supported his war measures and
enough liberals to give him balance Of
power. The decisive factors will be how
many liberals will follow him and what
the labor party will do.
So far as Ireland Is concerned. the
election probably means the almost to.
tai disappearance of the old nationalist
party Of Redmond and Dillon from
Westminster. The Sim Feiners are ex.
peeted to sweep southern Ireland. but
the members elected by the Sim Fein-
ers always refuse to take their seats.
In addition TO trying to hold together
his conservative and liberal supporters
Mr. Lloyd George is trying to reconcile
the Asquith faction. Mr. Asquith could
have had a high seat in the present cab
met If he would have accepted it. There
were two obstacles, however, home rule
and protection One of these the conser
vatives will not have and the other is
objected to by the liberals.
Mr.. Lloyd George addressed large
group of liberal members from both
Houses of Parliament on Tuesday. An.
drew Bonar Law, chancellor of the ex.
chequer, also presented the coalition pro.
gram at meeting of conservatives.
This program is said to include safe |
guarding" agriculture and essential
imperial preference and
nome rule without coercion of the six |
counties of Ulster.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech before the |
LIBERALS advocated league Of nations
md emphasized the need Of national
nifty. He begged the liberals not to
ulk. Limited protection and half
lome rule do not satisfy the stalwarts
II either party The greatest asset of
dr.. Lloyd George is his personal popu.

- a. worker recently returned from
france, and former Senator Harry Dan
