House of Commons

Plymouth, England, Nov. 13.-(By
A. P.)-Feeling is unusually bitter in
Viscountess Astor's campaign here
She is having hard fight to retain
her seat and there has been a re-
markable display of heat Personal
tiles and abuse have driven party
policies into the background. One
charge which the voters have brought
against Lady Aston, and one which
counts in this community of work
ingmen, is her stand on liquor. The
favorite epithet of those who oppose
her is "pussyfoot" and her opponents
use the word as though it were
crime.
II am not trying to take away
anyone's beer" is Lady Astors an
swer. Il want to give the voters
freedom to control the drink trade:
the brewers too often control trade

not countenance any confiscation of
trade without compensation The
