THE GENERAL ELECTION,
London, Dec. 2
To-day the General Election campaign enters on ito final week and both pace and interest have quickened The number of contests with more than two candidates is un- precedented, indeed three-cornered fights are the rule rather than the exception. This fact is generally accounted For by the emergence of what might be called the new political world in which old party distinctions have largely disappeared, also by the doubling of the electorate by the Beform Act and the great change in the boundaries of con- stituencies. Nobody, pretends to know how the new elector- ate will vote, particularly the women and soldiers, while a further complicating factor in the future political situation will be Sinn Fein representation which is likely to be fairly
strong.
There are altogether 471 Coalition candidates," com- prising 322 Unionists, 131 Liberals and 18 National Demo-
drata
1:
The 1047 Non-Coalitionist candidates comprise the following: 75 Unionista, 253 Liberals, 376 Labourites, 12 Socialists, 10 Co-operators, 1 National Democrat, $3 Federa tion of Discharged Soldiers candidates, 21 National Partyites, 78 Sinn Feiners, 59 Irish Nationalists, 120 Independents. and unclassified candidates, Agricultural Partyites, 1 Women's Party candidate, Coster candidate, 1 Health candidate, 2 Highland Land Leaguers, 1 Seamen's candidate, Teachers' candidates and 1 Town Tenants' League can- didate.

Mr. M. Quezon Wedi la Hoagkong,
Another virtue that has already stood him in good stead is his remarkable control of his temper. In the early days of the expedi- tion he ran into a hornets' nest of Bolshevike, our late Allies, who explained angrily that they could not allow this, that, or the other, bacause they were now the friende of-the Germans and the Turks and they might take it in ill part. "Of course you would be,' Btalky said. "quite see your midday to day, by the Hon. Mr. The marriage to k place at point of view. It would be im-E R. Blax, O. H.
