Fear of labor Vote
Becomes Widespread.
Election campaigning went into
full swing today and as light bet-
gins to emerge from the confusion
Into which the sudden collapse of
the coalition threw the political
world, two distinct tendencies are
becoming evident. The first, and
most important, Is tne tear evi
dently animating all the other
parties of the unknown quantity
n the. M.boiy'Vote ot tne electorate.
Labor has been by far the most
successful of the various"Tartles In
all the bye elections since the elec
tions In 118; jnoreover it is known
that the labor party Is better or-'
ganized for elections than on any
preuipus occasion and that It will
have a greater number of candi
dates in the field than any other
party except the conservative.
Hence there Is considerable justi
fication for the apprehension en
tertained. It is quite possible that this sp-
orehension accounts for the sec
ond notable tendency, namely the
desire ot the conservatives to da I
everything, possioie to avoia ac
centuating .the cleavage in their
narty. There Is no , doubt than
Mr: Bohar Law still hopes for
eventual reconciliation with those
conservative leaders who remain
ed faithful to- Lloyd George and
the real motive tor the wish to
hesl the split is the hope of coun
tering labor' expected attack on
property.
