for waging a "less than sincere'' church campaign in Warwick.

Health Minister the Hon. Quinton Edness, MP for Warwick West, said his constituents would not be swayed. "The people of Warwick are not stupid, they can see through a facade.'' Meanwhile, PLP candidate Mr. Calvin Smith admitted he may have dozed off while attending a Seventh Day Adventist service in Southampton on July 31.

"I wouldn't be surprised,'' Mr. Smith told The Royal Gazette . "If I did, I apologise. I was extremely tired because I had been working all night.'' As part of its strategy to take all four seats in Warwick in the next general election, PLP candidates were arranging to attend services at all the churches in the parish, Warwick East candidate and campaign co-chairman said Sen. Alex Scott.

Aides called ahead to find out whether the candidates' presence could be acknowledged, and whether they could say a few words. Sen. Scott stressed that they only introduced themselves, and did not make political speeches.

But in a news release, the UBP said it was wrong to ask to be invited to church "in order to get political exposure''.

And while PLP chairman Mr. Victor Fishington has predicted his party would sweep the parish, "it's going to take a great deal more than politicising people's Sunday morning church going to win four seats in Warwick,'' UBP executive officer Mr. Joe Gibbons said.

It was "inaccurate to the point of displaying total ignorance'' for Mr.

Fishington to say nothing had been done for Warwick, which is represented by four UBP cabinet ministers, a UBP news release said.

"The people of Warwick, like every other constituency, want the best for themselves and their children,'' the statement said. "They want a Government which can offer a clear vision for the future based on sound principles of management and vision. They want security.'' The PLP has never had to deliver on promises it made, and the UBP did not make promises it did not keep, the statement added.

Mr. Smith, a PLP candidate in Warwick East, defended a strategy that has seen him and three other candidates attend several Warwick and Southampton churches in recent weeks.

"What we are doing in our campaign is trying to take a look at constituents in every aspect of their lives,'' he said. "For the UBP to even suggest that religion is somehow apart from the political process is at best ridiculous, at worst extreme stupidity.'' A member of the Southampton SDA congregation called The Royal Gazette yesterday to say Mr. Smith "went to sleep'' during the service while sitting on the rostrum with the church ministers and elders.

"I don't agree with this political grandstanding,'' said the man, who would not give his name. "I have no objection to politicians attending church.

Coming to church only at election time, and asking if they can say a few words I don't agree with.'' MR. CALVIN SMITH -- May have dozed off.
