Show Great Interest Centers in Coming Elections in in England. PREMIER'S PROPOSAL Lloyd George Urges Keeping War Cabinet in Peace Times. LONDON, Thursday, Nov. 14 The issue in the coming elections is whether whe-ther the country will endorse Lloyd George's proposal that the present coalition government with himself as premier, shall be continued after the war for the work of making peace and carrying on the labor or reconstruction. reconstruc-tion. Never before were British political conditions as chaotic as they are today. to-day. The war has shattered old party lines. The electorlal reform bill adopted by parliament during the summer of 3917 virtually doubled the number of voters. vot-ers. It gave the ballot to all women over 30, men over 21 and soldiers under un-der 21. This added G.000,000 females and 2,000,000 males to the voting lists. How the women will vote and what parties the soldiers will support none can predict. The legal life of the present house of commons expired three years ago and has extended its own tenure of office from term to term by resolutions. This has been an informal procedure which would have been impossible except that it had the endorsement of public opinion because no one wanted an election during the great war. As the new voters will be entitled to tako part in choosing the government, govern-ment, Mr. Lloyd George has before him the difficult tnsk of trying to keep together to-gether that majority of the conservative conserva-tive party which supported his wav measures and enough liberals to give him a balance of power. The decisive decis-ive factors will be how many liberals will follow him and what policy the labor party will adopt. Herbert H. Asqulth remains the of-, ficial loader of the liberal party while Mr. Lloyd George is a free lance without with-out any party organization funds behind be-hind him. He wishes to continue the political truce which all parlies declared de-clared at tho beginning of the war and trusts to the slogan that ho is the "leader who won tho war" to attract votes. The program of his followers is apparently ap-parently to nomiate Lloyd George. So far as Ireland is concerned the election probably means tho almost total disappearance of the old nationalist nation-alist party of Redmond and Dillon from Westminter. The Sinn Feiners are expected to sweep southern Ireland Ire-land but the members elected by tho Sinn Fein always refused to take their seats. In addition to trying to hold together togeth-er his conservative and liberal supporters, sup-porters, Mr. Lloyd George is trying to reconcllo the Asquith faction. Mr. Asquith could havo had a high seat in the present cabinet it he would have accepted it. There wero two obstacles, obsta-cles, however, home rule and protection. protec-tion. One of these the conservatives will not have and the other is objected ob-jected to by the liberals. LONDON, Thursday, Nov. 14-The labor conference today unanimously adopted a resolution submitted by James R. MacDonald, chairman of the labor partj demanding that labor be represented at the official conference and that an International labor congress con-gress sit concurrently. There were cheers for international socialism and .the Bolshevists, |
