London, May 22--The enfranchise- ment of the "flappers," apart from obscuring the issue of the general clection has placed at least one can- didate in an unusual quandary.

He replies that he is "doing his best." His Liberal opponent, F. C. Dar- vall, is an equally attractive bachelor but the women of Ipswich think his academic vocation (he is a research student of history) has perhaps handicapped him where gallant strategy is concerned, The Labor candidate in the riding, R. F. Jack- son, is decidedly in the "also ran" class as far as gallantry is concerned. He is married.

He loved them in sunshine or in storm; in their splendor, their glory and theiy sublimity, "They can be so beautiful," he said, 'and they can be so terrible, I love them in all their moods. "But there must be good roads instead of twisting, turning lanes which can not be made into good roads because there is no cash in the road fusd." He had a challenge for _the Prime Minister as well, He de- manded Premier Baldwin to name just one expert in electricity, tele- phenes or road-making, who would be willing to come out and cou- demn the Liberal scheme for re- ducing unemployment, He also questioned whether the Prime Minister had sought the opinion of Bir Henry Maybury, the greatest English authority on roads, as the Conservatives had declared, "Hus he done it?" Mr. Lloyd George queried. "He dare not do it." Someone in the audience shouted.
