LONDON, March 29.—More women than ever before will sex seats in the | House of Commons at the coming gen- eral election as a, result of the vote being granted to 5,000,000 British women be- tween the ages of 21 and 30. Politicians are interested in the ques- tion of how the woman candidates are going to appeal to the newly en- franchisea woman voters who will have an effective majority in virtually every British constituency. The coming test cannot be held at all conclusive, however, as most of the woman candidates have been allotted by their party caucus chiefs to rather tough seats for which to fight. | Expect 60 Candidates. | It is estimated that between 60 and | 70 women will be on the lists of parlia- | mentary candidates before they are | complete, Fifty-one woman candidates | were out in the open by the middle of March. Of these, 30 were fighting un- der the Labor part§ banner. ‘There were only 5 Conservative woman candidates and 14 Liberal woman can- didates at that time. Two women have taken the field as independents. All of the present woman members of Parliament, except Mrs. Hilton Philip- son, are standing again. Mrs. Philipson is quitting politics to devote more time to her family. Lady Astor, “the mem- ber from Virginia,” is seeking re-elec- tion, but her husband, Lord Astor, thinks that “certain forces” are at work to get her out of Parliament. Lady Astor, whose caustic wit is proverbial on both sides of the Atlantic, was the first woman to take a seat in the Commons. She has represented the Sutton division of Plymouth since 1919, Mary Pickford Running. One of the most interesting of the new woman candidates is the Hon, Mary Pickford. She is no relation to the American cinema star, but is the daugh- ter of the master of the rolls. She is contesting a Lancashire constituency.
