Campaigning Begins
Election campaigning went into
full swing today and as light be-
gins to emerge from the confusion
into which the sudden collapse of the
coalition threw the political world
two distinct tendencies are becom-
ing evident. The first, aud most in-
portant. is the fear evidently animat-
ing all the other parties of the un-
known quantity in the labor vote of
the electorate.
Labor has been by far the most
successful OF the various parties In
ell the bye elections since the cleo
lions OF 1918; moreover II Is known
that the labor party is better or
ganized for elections than on any
previous occasion and that 1t will
have a greater number of candidates
in the field than any other party ex-
cept the conservatives. Hence there
is considerable justification for the
apprehension appertained.
1t is quite possible that this ap-.
prehension accounts for the second
notable tendency, namely. the desire
of the conservatives to do every
thing possible to avoid accentuating
the cleavage in their party. There
is no doubt that Bonar Law still
hopes for eventual reconciliation with
those conservative leaders who re-
NAMED faithful to Lloyd George, and
the real motive for the wish to heal
the split in the party Is the hope OF
labor's expected attack
