BR|T|SH.LEADERS
PLAYF|NAL ACES
Manifesto by 105 Liberals
Declares Lloyd Georges
Scheme Is Practical.

LONDON. May 29.-Party leaders,
facing the zero hour of the general
parliamentary elections tomorrow, to-
day produced cherished aces-in-the-
hole in attempts to drive home cam
paIgn points and clinch new votes at
the polls.
The Liberals, banking on David Lloyd
| Georges scheme to reduce unemploy-
ment through increased public works,
launched an important manifesto signed
by los leading commercial, industrial,
professional and financial men. declar-
ing they had carefully examined the
project as we'll as the criticisms which
had been levelled at it and were con-
vinced it was practical and economical
ly and financially sound.
Seen as BombshelI.
Liberal headquarters claimed 1t
would act like a bombshell and point
ed to the names appended to it, which,
under ordinary circumstances. I'M
doubtedly would carry considerable
weight attached to any sort of decla-
ration. Among them were Lord Ash
ton of Hyde, Baron Bethel, Baron
Maclay, Baron Weston, Viscount Cow
dray, Sir Robert Hadfield, Sir Samuel
Instone and Sir Walter Runciman, they
are among the most prominent figures
In British public life.
The prime minister, Stanley Baldwin,
in a speech in the Birmingham dis
trict, said, 1--WE are making great
experiment in democracy. We have
the greatest democracy in the world
and we must make the experiment a
success. They have made a mess Of
1t in Russia. In Italy they have a
kind of dictatorship. 1t may be good
for Italy, but we must have no dicta-
torship. We have got to govern our
selves or bust. Whatever you do want
you to do one thing-vote"
There was storm of protest at dis
closure of an election appeal from the
prime minister on his official note pa
per bearing the royal arms. Political
opponents charged it constituted a
grave improperly and misuse of Office,
misleading many electors by giving to
the appeal an appearance of high i'm
portance which no personal document
would assume.
Visit TO Slum Districts.
David Lloyd George and Ramsay
Macdonald spent today in their home
constituencies. In the Birmingham slum
district Mr.. Baldwin and Mrs. Baldwin
lodged washing hanging on the lines
in the back yards as they visited the
jewellers to inspect the results of the
health departments efforts at slun
clearance.
They were escorted by Sir Austin
Chamberlain, foreign minister, and his
brother Neville, minister of health. Mrs
Baldwin told a fairy tale to cluster of
children in one street, a real fairy tale
of the nursery type. which afforded the
non-partisan audience some real en-
joyment.
There was a free-for-all fight at
Islinton, in-North London, yester-
day. when the Conservative candidate,
Thomas Howard, was stunned by blows
Bricks and stones were thrown promis-
cuously.

Lady Aston spoke upon every pos

than three people gathered around her

paigned.
She wore a gray chiffon frock with
a blue poque and seemed genuinely
affected by the rousing cheers which
were given her and the boos given to

Bill Gives President More Power
The new bill would give the presi-
dent even broader power under its

carried and its implications complied

power of recommending changes to
