SCIENCE AND POLITICS
NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN OPENS FOR GOVERNMENT. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received Sunday, 7 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 19.
Indications are that the coming general election will be the most 'thrilling that has ever taken place in Britain. All parties are adopting the most up-to-date methods and all the resources of modern science. For example, Mr. Neville Chamberlain to-night addressed four huge meetings simultaneously. A total of 15,000 heard his speech, which Lord Stanley declares as the firing of the first shot in the Conservative election campaign. Mr. Chamberlain spoke at Liverpool and his speech was relayed by land lines and loud speakers to audiences in the important towns of Birkenhead, Southport and Widnes. Ho said the party’s task was not to win, but to hold the fort. Few Conservatives, however, hope to hold the fort at their present strength, and the Labourites and Liberals are determined to make a big breach. The Liberals aro completely reorganised and have plenty of money.
