George, wife of the British prime min
iSter, in the electoral campaign in
support of Lady Astor, who is running
for the seat in the house Of commons
made vacant by the elevation Of her
husband, the new Viscount Astor, to
the house Of lords, marked the climax
of one Of the most unusual political
battles ever fought in Plymouth.
Although at the meeting which was
addressed by Mrs. Lloyd George, only
women were present, it was featured
by the most determined attempt made
by the opposition throughout the en-
tire campaign to silence speakers by
the use Of hecklcrs. Lady Astor was
present and also spoke.
At one point. when q forced discon-
tnuance Of the meeting appeared to be
threatening, Lady Astor took the floor
and faced the hecklcrs with defiance.
..I have told you that 7 am not
ashamed of nv American BIRTH" she
said "I am proud that there is not
4 drop of blood in my veins that is not
