Young women will vote for the first time. When results are known King George will ask the leader of the party gaining the majority of the parliamentary seats to form a cab- inet, which to all purposes will be the British administrative body for five years or until non-confidence in it is amply demonstrated. Involves 615 Seats 8ix hundred and fifteen parlia- mentary seats are involved, with some 27,000,000 residents of Eng- land, Scotland and Wales eligible for voting. This number includes an es- timated more than 5,000,000 recently enfranchised women, more than 1,- 500,400 between the ages of 21 and 265. Three major parties, conservative, libera] and socialist are sceking con- trol. The conservatives, given a popular mandate in October, 1924, and headed by the prime minister, Stanley Baldwin, seek a continuation of their tour and one-half years of power. The sacialist, or labor party, led by Ramsay MacDonald, want a labor commons majority so as to il itiate the broad fundamental chang in British social and economic life which they have espoused. David Lloyd George, former coali- tion premier, heads the third party, the liberals, which though only negli- gibly powertul in the house of commons, occupy a key position in | tomorrow's elections and subsequent | political developments. Liberals Make Promises The liberals, ne among the three parties, have advanced a posi- tive campaign promise, their pledge |'s to cut unemployment within one | year from its prosent huge figure, to normal proportions. This they | propose to do by initiation ef new |road building and public werks. Al- | though the scheme, advanced by Mr. Llovd George, has been pooh-poohed by opponents, it has had a consid- erable popular appeal and seemed today likely to cut a definite figure in the election. | The likelinood seemed today that | neither conservatives, liberals nor so- cialistr would gain a majority, in which event various procedures were possible, wilh two of the parties uniting against the third to make a majority or all electing to stand by themselves. In the former case the throne would designate & prime minister who probably would name a coali- tion cabinet. The libefals have given their promise against a coalition with tl laborites. Coaliticn of conservatives and luborites would be impossible because of fundamental differences of policy. There has been increas- ing tendency in liberal circles to frewn upon a possible liberal-con- servative coalition, general belief being that the party's future depends upon its standing alone. Apathy in Campaign The campaign has been one of unusual apathy, pessible result. ing from the luck of issues to excite the voters. 8ave in a few constitu- encies where the posi personail- ties of some of the candidates in. velved have led to scenes of en. thusiasm or antipathy, such as the bailiwick of Lady Astor, & casual | observer might not have known gn 1eleclonl campaign was in progress, | | The prime minister, Stanley Bald. | ‘}wln. has advanced the argument that Great Britain has made great progress in the last three years and will continue to do so under con. | | servative lcadership. He hus promised reduction fin unemplo.v-i { ment but says it will be spread ever three or four vears. Some slight ex- | tensions in ‘“safeguarding” — the British name for a form of protec. tive tarift—but net enough te create a genera] tariff policy, also have beea promised. | The liberals. aside from their | pledge of immediate reduction of unemployment, have held forth for removal of artificial barriers to trade at home and a dctermined attempt to remove barriers abread. with world disarmament at the forefront of its program. | The labor platform is that of transformation of capitalism inte ' socialism, with the party asking powsr to lay the foundations of a new social order and to relieve im- mediate distress.

Lady Astor Relieved Plymouth, England, May 2% (P— Lady Astor, Great Britain's Ameri- can born peeress who is seeking re- election to her seat in the house of commons, greeted the last day of her campaign with a typical fera- inine sigh of relief. “Glory be, it's nearly over!" she cxplained. Even her almost incx- haustible energy showed signs of wear, and her voice was quite husky from the almost hourly speechcs she has made during the last fort- night. Her source of topics was #l- most exhausted but with charac- teristic vim she started the last day, determined although a bit frayed. Lady Astor for a few minutes last night forgot she was & politician seeking a renewal of her mandate and became just a plain woman, eager in defense of “my man,” when hecklers asked her what Lord Astor had done during the war. She had been denouncing socialists who did not go to war when the challenge came from the gallery in the hzll which was the scene of a great rally by her constituency of Sutton division. In answer she re- cited her, husband's three vain at. tempts to enlist and his offer to the government of his wealth and re. sources. Wins Demonstration “When you've got a woman on the subject of her man you've got her going,” she smilingly explain- €d. There was a vociferous dem. onstration of approval. At one time Lady Astor forgot rart of her speech and stumbled. Theére were loud hisses from the #allery, but she stopped them with the angry retort that she had made,| six speeches since neen, At the evening rally Lord Aster addressed these who were unable to reach the inside of the Guild hall while Lady Astor spoke inside. Later they changed places, most of the hecklers following the peeress to the outside. The audience approved heartily mention of her efforts for a bill pro- hibiting minors from entering pub- lic houses. Tney cheered just as ioudly however, when she added: “If my vote were the deciding one for prohibition I wouldn't cast it because England is not ready and doesn't want it,” Speaks Many Times Lady Astor spoke upon every pos- sible occasion during the di It more than three people thered around her she raised her voice and campaigned. She wore a gray chiffon frock with a blue toque and seemed genuinely affected by the rousing cheers which were given her and the hoes given to her hecklers.

J., the student's father, was expected here today to aid police in investigating the case. As in the Huntington case, there were indications of suicide and yet young Satterthwaite appeared to have had no motive for ending his ! His body was found in bed yes- terdey, with a Turkish towel, sat- urated with chloroform, over his face. Speaking over the long-distance telephone last night, the boy's father said that “The whole matter is be- yond my understanding. “It almost seems like foul play, he said, “but that is hard to under- stand, too, unleas there was some insane person around. ‘He was an excellent boy and a devoted son. He was level-headed— in fact, very mature and sensible, and would have had a fine career. He never drank or smoked, had no financial worries and had ne love affairs. We are a closely-unit:d family. I can't understand it all"” In a preliminary report, Medical Examiner David C. Doen expressed the belief that the student had com- mitted suicide. Authorities pointed out, however, that Satterthwaite might have been using the drug to induce sleep. A chloreform bottle, practically empty, was discovered beside the bed. D2an A. Chester Hanferd of Harvard stated that Satterthwaite's standing in his classes had been very satisfactery and could be no reasen for taking his life. Police found in the student's room a telegram which apparently had been delivered shertly before. “Telegraph if you are well.” it read. The message w med, “R. Satter. thwaite.”” This was believed to in- dicate that Satterthwait had not been in the best of health Satterthwaite, & freshman, was an ardent earsman, was a candidate for the freshman crew and Monday aft. erneon was on the Charles river, rowing in a shell.
