This was the only real fun that Sittingbourne had out of the elec tion. Faversham was more for- tunate." Mr. Häilwood was stay- ing there, and when he brings out his great book on "Constituencies I have been defeated in" there will be an interesting chapter on Faversham, with some valuable hints perhapa' on how to get nominated at short notice.
Mr. Hallwood arrived in the constituency on a Saturday after- noon. Within nn hour he had borrowed a blank nomination paper from the Liberal agent. By Tuesday morning he had se- cured the names of just sufficient assentore to fill that one paper. They sign, so to speak, on the dot- ted line. Two of them have writ- ten alleging that they were asked to support the Conservative can- didate and did so in the belief that they were, nominating Mr. Maitland.
Then, after Mr. Hailwood had been to all this trouble to bring a little brightness into the Ives of the electors and had paid his £150 to the returning officer with his usual polite gesture of farewell to the money, someono actually want- ed to fight him. "I should have liked to obligo him," he said. "I was a bit of a boxer in my youth, but after all I cannot fight all Faversham."
