THE GENERAL ELECTION
TO TH) EDITOB. Sir,— l see that it is being discussed by Parliament whether it would not be advisable to postpone the General Election. Both Parliament and the press have been most emphatic in impressing the public with the need at the present crisis to go on their usual way quietly, as far as possible making no difference in any arrangements in their business, homes, etc., so aa to'Bave hysteria oi 1 panic j iii fact, to go on ac if nothing unusual was happening on the other side. Now, is Parliament gfting to be one of the first to break ihe wise and thoughtful advice they have recommended to the people by postponing the election? Why should it be put off? What for? Personally, I think numbers of us would welcome something substantial to divert our thoughts a little from the dread con« flict now on ; and what better than a genera) election?— l am, etc., ELECTOR. 28th August, 1914.
