RICH BRITISH YOUTH
MAY WIN ELECTION
Lady Cynthia Mosley Aiding
Husband in Hectic Race
for Parliament.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, December IS. AL
Lloyd's, where wagers are maze on
everything from tomorrow's weather
TO the date of doomsday. odds OF III
to q are being offered that young
Oswald Mosley, rich. dashlng. deoo-
nair Socialist husband of Lady Cynthla
Mosley, granddaughter OF the iate
Levi c. Letter of Chicago. Will be
elected to the House of Commons on
Tuesday. He is a candidate IN the
parliamentary election at SmetnWlch'
near Birmingham.
The Mosleys recently spent III
weeks in America, visiting the chief
industrial centers of the Atlantic sea
board an dthe Midwest to study
labor conditions and production
methods.
The campaign has been one of the
Interest ever fought in Great
Britain. Rough-and-tumble tactics and
vitriolic personal attacks have TEA
tured the fight.
Personal Criticism INDUCED.
The personalities of the couple.
their wealth, fine clothes. automoblles
and palatial homes, have been the
center of more interest in the vote
getting struggle than Mr.. Mosley's
nolitical differences with his oppo-
nents-M. J. Pike, Conservative, and
w. Bayliss, Liberal. Lady Mosley,
who is the daughter of the late Mar
quis Curzon, has been in the thickest
part of the fight.
At the outset Mosley announced his
wife had dropped her title for cleo
pioneering purposes. He refers to her
as 1.-The Missus." She nurses tene-
ment babies while he shouts the
Socialist doctrine from the street
corners, with a red flag in each hand.
At times she leads the singing of
Laborite songs.
Bones were broken, meetings dis
persed and reporters mobbed in out
breaks of rowdyism after the first bit
terness was injected into the cam
paign by the announcement of Sir
Oswald Mosley that his son was
born with a gold spoon in his mouth
and never did an honest days work
in his life"
Big Political Guns Boom.
During the final stages Of the
battle the big political guns of
Britain doomed in Smethwick. Ram
say Macdonald, former Labor pre-
mier, travelled from London to bless
Mosley's candidacy and answer
charges against him. Premier Bald
win sent personal message to the
Smethwick Conservatives; his daugh
ter Betty backed it by plunging into
the fight to offset Cynthia's cam
paigning.
The day Betty arrived, however,
Premier Baldwin's Socialist son,
Oliver, also reached the town, to
thwart his sisters efforts. SO the
Smethwickians were set to wondering
about the crisscross political beliefs
of England's first families.
