The appear ance f Premier Lloyd George in the political arena of Plymouth, where Nancy Langhorn Astor is battling to upset a rock-ribbed British tradi tion by gaining a seat in the house of commona as England's first woman member of parliament may he the climax to the most piquant election in the country's history. This Information was given by Lord and Lady Amor when the famous Vir ginia beauty received him In her mag nificent home here. - "We are after the premier to come to Plymouth and make an electioneering speech In my interests," said the vis countess. "He's a very busy man, and I don't know whether we'll succeed, but I'm hoping to beat the band. It would be a wonderful climax. I am having a delightful time." Her ladyship has adopted typical American methods of electioneering. She Is deadly In earnest and busy morn ing, noon and night making speeches, giving Interviews, writing letters and personally seeing constituents. 1 saw her after a couple of women's Cause of Stomach Sickness How to Rellere Stomach Dlatres In a Few Minutes.

I "I am in favor of the devolution on Ireland and the British empire. That is the only solution I can see that will solve the Ulster question. It is the only question. It would be wonderful if a solution for the unhappy country could be found. "Free trade is needed as much as the League of Nations. It would be great if the whole world would adopt both. But my particular job is to place the woman's viewpoint before the com mons. That has never been done. "Tdon't care if I am upsetting a hide bound custom. It'll do them good to have the sound views that I want to put forward." FOE THE PEOPLE Asked what the voters thought of an American woman sitting in the house of commons. Lady Astor flashed back: "Well, what belter person could they want? I am a native of Virginia and have lived in Devonshire, and I can fight my battles with all the spirit of the Pilgrim fathers. I have been here 10 years and have worked hard for the people, for schools and maternity homes and all sorts of things like that. The people know me and believe In me. and I am for them. "The-people here are for the navy. I am a Unionist, for that's the party that Is the best friend of the British navy, which safeguards the world and civiliza tion." Her ladyship refused, however, to discuss prohibition further than she has already done. She is showing her teeth to those trying to make an Issue of "local option" the same as in the United States. ' My solution," said she, "is not prohi bMior. but temperance. Let the people all have their way." Lady Astor is extremely bitter against the war profiteers. "Nothing is more repulsive to me than profiteering," she declared, "but who Is going to decide what war profits are? I would have them all forfeited If pos sible, but I am not an economist that Is, outside my province." DEEP RELIGIOUS SENSE Under her humorous lively outward demeanor, there is a deep religious sense and earnestness of conviction. She dis cussed with me the spiritual necessity In politics. "We need the women's spiritual help to run the government." she said. The viscountess Is extremely confident that sha will win. She Is already plan ning the details of her program and looking into the question of selecting liv ing quarters in London. Her confidence is based partly upon her knowledge that she is very popular with the people of Plymouth. Even her opponent, Isaac Foote. a liberal, calls her "Nancy" and aamits that she is a very capable woman." She returns the compliment by saying she likes him. GOOD IfATTJRED FIGHT mere is absolutely no bitterness in the campaign, but a thoroughly good naturea fight. Here's the way she summed up her own fellings: "Although I am the most serious' minded woman in Britain. I have the mirth of the British Tommy going over the top with a smile. I have the welfare of my people at heart. I know their needs and am going to get them what tney want. I know Mr. Lloyd George well. I spent a holiday with him in Brittany. His heart Is as sound as a dollar and he has courage and has the welfare of the country at heart. Believe me, I am for reforming the house of lords. Isn't it ridiculous that my husband should be denied the right of sitting in the com mons while I am allowed to take a seat there If I am elected. "My husband," she continued. "Is go ing to renounce his title if possible to get back to the commons, where he can do something. The lords are backwash and you can't stir backwash."
