Lloyd George, Churchill And Asquith All Figure In
 Election

LONDON, Dec. 4.-(By Associated Press.)-With only one day more for campaigning, electioneering today reached a climax of intensity. There was perfect tornado of speeches, manifestoes, statements and counter statesments, accusations and counter accusations on all points calculated to influence the voters on Tuesday.
 The most remarkable tests of physical endurance are being made by Lloyd George and Winston Churchill, and the most striking ex- ception is Herbert Asquith, who, hav- ing stiff contest to meet, has con- fined his efforts to his own con- stitutency, Paisley. Somewhat notice- able Is that, whether through lack of necessary funds or through having but few press organizations, the labor campaign appears to be con- than either the conservative or liberal campaigns. but nevertheless, the labor leaders all have full con- fidence that their party will gain in strength in the new parliament.
 The campaign has been accom- panied by the usual personalities, but with the case of MT. Churchill who disturbed by labor Interruptions, the toward the labor party, and whose meetings lnere1Ore nave been most disturbed by labor interrupters, the campaign on the whole has been con- ducted fairly and orderly.

 Lady Astor In Campaign.
 Thirty-four women are standing for parliament in the present cleo tions, as against 33 in the last gem eral election and 16 in that of 1918.
 The three women members of the house of commons, Lady Astor, Mrs. Wintringham and Mrs. Philipson, are in the field again and may be re- elected. 1t Is considered unlikely that many of the others will succeed at the polls, and most of them are waging admittedly hopeless fights.
 Lady Astor, who Is conservative. appears to have good chance of re- tainng her seat in Plymouth. Her only opponent, Capt. c. W. Brennan labor, keeps the idea of capital levy to the forefront of the party pro- gram. Lady Astor advocates @ vigor- ous social program and is receiving an excellent hearing.

Coolidge Victory

PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 4.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)--President Calvin Coolidge tonight was given the ma jority preference for the republican presidential primary by the South Dakota republican proposal conven- tion, winning over Senator Hiram Johnson of California by a vote of 50,379 to 27,340. Later, on a rising vote, the endorsement was made unanimous. Coolidge and Johnson were the only names before the con- Vention.
 Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas was unanimously endorsed for vice president.
 A tumult of applause and a pro- longed cheering greeted the an- nouncement on the presidential poll.
 On the roll call vote by delegates each ballot represented one-third of the republican vote in each county. Senator Johnson was first placed in nomination by A. o. Ringsrud of Union county. MT. Ringrlds re- marks were few, merely calling the man of the west. Hiram w. John conventions attention to "that great an of the far west, Hiram W. John son."
 President Coolidge was character ized as the farmer boy who had done everything In h1S power TOT the farmer, largely the result of his practical experience in that profess sion," by $. H. Elrod of Clark county, submitting the Presidents name.
 Senator Capper was likened to President Coolidge as big brother of the farmers, who should make an excellent running made for our esteemed executive
 Senator Capper's name was sug- gested by Elmer Anderson of Clark county.
 McMaster Indorsed.
 Governor William H. McMaster won the majority senatorial indorse- ment by a vote of 40,207 against 37,S27 for Senator Thomas Sterling, incumbent.
 Prior to the vote, the republican convention had approved a platform plank indorsing Governor McMasterss state administration and approving his gasoline price war.
 The McMaster indorsement after the Coolidge selection came as q great surprise to political observers. McMaster, in declaring for the sena- torial race had publicly indorsed the candidacy of Hiram Johnson Tor the presidency and was generally re- carded as the leader of the Johnson forces in the convention. WhiIe Senator Sterling had never declared his presidential choice, he was in all quarters regarded as a Coolidge sup porter.
