 Her Favor.
(By The Associated Press. ]

Plymouth, Tuesday, Nov 4.-Meet- lngs in different sections of the city were addressed tonight by the three candidates for the house of commons seat--Lady Astor, Isaac Foot, libera and w. T. Gay, labor. At one of them the correspondent found 300 persons huddled in a small school house and scores outside clam bring for admission. Viscount Astor was standing at the school masters s table speaking.
 Il want you to realize that the re- construction period is a jolly diff cult time for the coalition," he said, "I want to tell you few things the coalition have done." "Tell us what they haven't done," came a voice, and the heckling of a group of laborites became so ire quent and persistent that Lord Astor seemingly disconcerted, finally and abruptly concluded by presenting his wife as your candidate"
 Lady Astor, taking the table top began:
 T have been handling soldiers for the last four years-you better watch out," which brought laughter and cheers. q just want to tell you some things that I am going to get done if l get into the house of com mons. Whats more, I am going to get there, just remember that"
 There was one heckler who had previously identified himself as champion of the independent social ists. Concerning him, Lady Astor declared: "If it had been in your power during the war the whole Brit ish army today would be goose step ping in Berlin"
 Among the epigrams which char acterized her speech were:
 "The only panacea of the worlds ills is to get greed out of the human heart"
 Lowing your neighbor as your self is the only way of eliminating the capitalist class"
 we cannot say the world is at peace unless we ourselves are at peace."
 In concluding her speech Lady Astor said:
 "You had better take me while you have the chance"
