Scottish Temperance
May Go to Support
of Lloyd George

London Oct. c1.-There is strong
probability. declares Central News
dispatch from Edinburgh today. that
the Scottish temperance vote which
in 1918 was cast solidly for the coall-
ton will be cast at the forthcoming
election in favor of candidates sup
porting Lloyd George. Leading tenn
perance organizations are meeting to
discuss the situation adds the message.
and many minor conferences already
have passed resolutions in support of
the retiring premier.
If the report is accurate. It is esti-
mated such an attitude by the Scottish
temperance voters would mean approx
imately 100000 votes. judging from
the anti-lcensc vote at the last cleo
tion.
Ii is considered unlikely in temper
ance quarters that the Scottish tenn
perance advocates will support the
Unionists in the Forthcoming election,
as Sir George Younger. present chair
man Of the Unionst party. is a promi-
nent Scotch brewer. but whether they
will throw the weight of their insu-
ence solidly on the other side or with
any party is considered here as high
" speculative question.
