Two Leading Speakers
Engage in Light Repartee

In the meantime he has delivered
n number of speeches throughout the
country without enunciating any very
strong line of policy. He is one Of
i'-o most impressive and magnetic Of
British political speakers and he
always sways his audience his way.
He has shown little bitterness in the
campaign but has used considerable
light ridicule in his attacks on Bonar
Law and his policy Of negatlon. Lloyd
George declares that Bonar Laws plea
for tranquility is not policy. merely
yawn. Bonar Law retorts that the
country desires quiet and rest.
Lloyd George points out that his
foes consider him fine doctor for a
serious illness or a complicated oper-
ation-referring to his services dur
ing the war-but they would dis
charge him and call in another ply
stefan to treat headache.
r3onar Law says that the drummer
boy is useful in war time to Keep up
the couras- Of the troops at the front
and also TO drum and keep up the
courage of the folks at home. But. the
Premier says. when the war Is over

who wish the quiet Of peace time. He
tells the story OF the wounded High

nurse brought them TO the patient >srid

Thirty Women Running
for Seats In Commons
1t Is estimated that there are
100000 women voters among the
20, 900 900 total, and some thirty wom-
en- are running for Parliamentary
seats. In the last Parliament were
two women, Lady Astor and Mrs.
wintringham. They were not elected
at the last general election in 1918,
but since then in bye elections. The
Independent Liberals have fourteen
women candidates in the field the
Labor party has nine, the Unionists
five and there are three independents.
Lady Astor's campaign is attracting
the most attention among the women's
fights. Opposing her are Capt woulfe
Brennan and DR.. III. w. Bayly. both
Conservatives. DR.. Bayly II attacking
her record for the liquor licensing bill.
Next to Lady Astor the best known
Of the women candidates is Helen
Gwynne Vaughan. famous as a botan-
ist and commandant Of the women's
Royal Air Forces. Mrs. Coombe Ten
nant, who is standing as an Independ-
ent Liberal for the Forest OF Dean, is
another prominent candidate. She was
the first woman to be appointed as a
justice OF the peace and she took n
prominent part during the war in re-
cruiting In Wales. Mrs. Ogilvie Cor
don. a Nationalist Liberal candidate
for Canterbury, is distinguished
scientist. Miss Damer Dawson is run

Altogether 1870 candidates have

I vastly overestimated, not .enly by it
self, but by It's foes as well, for on
November l in the municipal elections
throughout England the Laborites lost
so heavily that all political calcula-
tons were upset. In London Labor
had held 573 seats on the old councils
and on November ! only elected 253
candidates.
In the, leading boroughs of the
provinces 215 out of 574 Labor candi-
dates won seats, while the Conserva-
tives carried $50 out of $50. The story
was the same in such cities as
Manchester, Liverpool. Birmingham,
Derby, Nottingham, Plymouth, South
ampton and Portsmouth. The cleo
tions, of course, were only on local
issues, but at the same time it Is be-
lieved that they gave a fairly accurate
index to the existing political feeling.
In London, especially, was much hos
tility shown to Labor. 1t was cold,
rainy day and not such one as to
tempt the ordinary voter to go to the
polls, but this did not deter them and
| the voting was unusually heavy.
Since then the Labor leaders have
redoubled their efforts to make bet

/ have received a letter. from a
woman who believes that the pretty
girl stenogfapher is the greatest
enemy that exists to domestic peace
and felicity. She says:
81 know hundreds of women who
are made utterly miserable on ac-
count of their husbands stenogra-
ers. They see themselves growing
old at home. bearing children, and
performing the multitude of duties
incumbent upon a wife and house
keeper. and they grow wild when
they think of their husbands spend
ing their days In the company of
pretty little flappers young enough
TO be their daughters. The remedy
for this situation is cooperation. Let
the wives unite and form union
that will pledge itself to ostracise all
women who work in a mans private
office"
Surely this is jealousy gone mad.
Any woman who can look at the army
of young girls who march down the
streets of every city in the land every
morning as they go to fight their
daily battle for bread, and see in
them only constituencies vamps who
are trying to steal some other WOMB
ans husband away from her, has be-
come so green-eyed that she cannot
see straight Her vision jaundic ed.
Why, the very fact that girl earns
her money by hard work instead of
getting 1t by devious ways is proof
OF her honesty OF purpose. I'll is no
easy thing for a girl to sacrifice her
play time OF life and bury her youth
and beauty in dingy office. 1t is

when her feet are aching to dance,
and for her to have to pound type

out in longing to be butterfly and

Therefore. when a girl has the
character and the grit to elect to
work the hard road instead of daily

she has the good feeling that makes
her willing to work. eight hours a
day rather than be a burden on her
poor, old father; when she has the
heroism that makes her take upon

sands upon thousands of working
girls do-the burden of her family's
support, it seems to me that older
women, and more fortunately situated
women, ought to crown her with
laurels. and give her every encour-

of talking about ostracizing her.
For one thing wives may be sure.

is siren. There will always be
some men who are amorous, and
follow every petticoat. and some who
are vicious, and take advantage OF
every woman in their power, but
these types are not confined to the
business world. You find them
everywhere.
More husbands have been vamped
in ball rooms than ever we're in Of

of his stenographer than she has of
any other woman. There are two
good reasons why thfs is true.
The first reason is because men sell

The hours a man spends in his office
are strenuous, anxious ones In which
he is concentrated on the great game
Of money making. 1t takes every

relaxed that he notices the color Of
woman's eyes. and how the hair
curls on her neck, and feels like maxi

The second reason that a mans
stenographer is far less dangerous
than his wife lmagines is because
people working in an office together
see each other with as little glamor
of illusion as married people do.

and lack of puncfua lily. and when
he sees her powdering her nose she
seems to him to be cut off the same

wife: When YOU look for the other
woman, don't waste much time snoop-

Still, 1t is Just as well to remember
that your husband does work among
young and attractive women, and to
keep yourself fit to bear comparison
