sociated Press Lady Astor was one
OF the first women to vote after the
opening of the polls here to-day.
Her coachman, Churchwood, vet
eran of three Astor campaigns, cast
the first vote in his district soon
after the polls opened. He then
hltched team to the carriage Lady
Astor calls her Campaign chariot
and was in front of the Astor home at
9:15 o'clock
Lady Astor's ballot was cast in q
schoolhouse. Lord Astor, although dis
qualified through his elevation to the
peerage, was technically entitled to vote
because his name had not been removed
from the register. He was informed
to this effect this morning but he de-
cllned to vote, saying he did not desire
TO take advantage Of a techncality.
Offers to Bet She Will Win
Lady Astor passed the day driving in
an open carriage through all parts of
the constituency. She was received by
applauding crowds with only two ex-
ceptlons: One of these was at the
wharfslde, where group of fifty dock
men "booed" the carriage and laborer

ist candidate, at the same time pulling
out some money

feated," he said.
Lady AFtor stood up and called i'm

Lord Astor drew her back on the
seat and the carriage proceeded. fol-
lowed by the derisive shouts Of the
laborers.
Lady Astor drove through tenemen mt
district known to be hotbed of So
clajist extremists. She waved a staff
gearing the coalition colors and in
CURED, How are you voting?" but her
words were drowned by a chorus of
the balconies, who shouted:

Despite the al-approval of the resi-

Unable to Cope With the
Situation With Present
Statutes, Attorney Cen
eral Replies to Senate
Asks Supplement
To Espionage Act
222 Foreign Language
Papers Preach Sedition,
Also Some in English

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-The growth
OF radicalism throughout the country
was to be attributed TO inadequacy Of
Federal laws against preaching violent
overthrow Of the government, Attorney
General Palmer declared tonight in
replying to the Senates recent inquiry
as to what action had been taken by
the Department of Justice to curb eff
forts to establish a dictatorship Of
the protelarat." Mr.. Palmer disclosed
that the department has more than
60,000 persons under surveillance as
radicals, with whom it is unable to
cope because of weakness of present
statutes.
The Attorney General urged the pas
sage of law to supplement the es-
piunage act and to take its place when
the wartime measure ceases to be
effective. He described the proposed
act as being the most effective method
of dealing with sedition, anarchy and
radicalism generally which members
of his staff had been able to draft.
Mr.. Palmer said the bill was broad
enough to stop effectually all attempts
to overturn the existing order and yet
safeguard free speech and the press.
Foreign Language Press
Activities Of the foreign language
press present another problem which
the department has been unable to
meet successfully, Mr.. Palmer said.
Investigations have uncovered 222 for
elgn language newspapers which have
openly advocated changes in the gov

tonight said she was confident
she would. have plurality of
at least 5000 when the result of to-
days parliamentary e-election in
the Sutton division of Plymouth was
announced November %. More than
$4,000 votes are believed to have been
cast for the three candidates.
Lady Astor was early at the polls
to-day to register vote for herself
before starting on a last brass band
tour of the district. Hundreds OF
women were among those who voted
before noon, but the heaviest rush at
the polls came after o'clock this aft
crnoon. The intense cold weather is
believed to have kept many at home.
The three cornered fight which Lady
Astor has been waging the last fort
night against the Labor and Liberal
candidates for the seat in the House
vation of her husband to the peerage
has awakened a wide popularity for
this American woman.
