now in this county busily engaged col

group inspired by a. spirit of benevo-
, lent independence from the main con-
servative party, which they will not

May Not Split.
The Times political correspondent
says that when it comes to parliamen-
tary action, there is scarcely a doubt
! that the two sections of the party will
be in complete agreement and that
the apparent split will be small. This
view is not favored by the more ex-
treme Torch, which says the coalition
uEfonists have indeed gone into the
wilderness sand will wander there some
time in oblivion. This supposition
! that they will join the predicted CEN
ter party under Mr.. Lloyd George is
now rejected almost everywhere.
Several of the political writer's this
morning agree that the center party
has been completely abandoned and
that Mr.. Lloyd George will make his
appeal to the country when the cleo
i tion campaign begins as a pure liberal
and free trader, strong on economy
and favoring the League of Nations.
He is credited with having at his dis
posal the coalition liberal machine,
whose funds. according to the Daily
Mail, amount to nearly 5000, 900
pounds.
