CHASTINED LIBERAL. LEADERS. ASQUITH'S QUALIFYING PHEASE j LLOYD GEORGE NOT SO COCK- SURE. Mr. Asquith, shaking on Friday night to his constituents at Fife- shire, said that the object of the Budget was not merely to meet the actual expen- diture which fell within the year for pur- poses of social reform, but also to provide a reservoir of resources for tihe addi- tional liabilities which the Government had undertaken for the future in schemes for the insurance of workmen against unem- ployment and sickness. Mr. Asquith twice used the qualifying phrase, "If you send us back to Westmin- ster with an adequate majority." In that case the Government intended that Soot- land should share as largely as England in small holdings. He asked for a condem- nation of the action of the House of Lords. Most of the Lords sat there because their fathers sat there before them. (Laughter.) I' wa3 no blame to them. They could not help it. (Laughter.) Heckler Did not the country approve of what the House of Lords did in rejecting the Home Rule Bill? Mr. Asquith: It may have done so, but I do not think it would now. (Cheers and cries of "Oh !") Another Heckler: Is there any reason why we should not have had the English Small Holdings Act made applicable to Sc-ot land'{ Mr. Asquith We have tried to makfe it applicable. Heckler: Was it identical? Mr. Asquith No. certainly not. It was adapted to the conditions of Scotland. After another meeting at Anstrutlier, where lie spoke in support of the Liberal candidate for the St. Andrews Burghs, the Prime Minister had a very mixed greet- ing, being as vigorously hooted as cheered.

LLOYD GEORGE'S MODEST ELATION. WORD OF WARNING: "DON'T GET ALARMED." Mr. Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer,on Friday night addressed the elee- tors of the Carnarvon Boroughs on the eve of the poll. He told his audience not to be surprised if the Liberal party should re- ceive in this election a majority approxi- mating, at any rate, with, "the great khaki majority of 1900." (134.) That would be a good substantial working majority against the Houee of Lords. "I feel net merely gratified, but I feel elated," he continued, "at the results which have come, and the results which I can see coming over the horizon. I have one little word Dr warning for you, so that you shall not get alarmed. I do not think that the results of to-day's pollings will be good. I say so now, before the declarations have come. Bat to-morrow we are going to gat a first-rate time. (Cheers.) To-morrow will swell the Literal majority very con- sidcrably. I think that, by the end of to- day we shall have worked out some of the most hopeless constituencies and we shall then begin to build pretty rapidly our majority. "It is a dangerous thing to prophesy like this, but I am only talking among friends-—(laughter and cheers)—and I think there are no reporters present." (More laughter.) Asked whether the votee in Carnarvon Boroughs would be counted on Saturday, the Chancellor replied, "No; but it is not my fault. T thin-K it is one of the shab- biest things over done."

I PRESS COMMENTS. "THE END OF FREE TRADE." "Daiily Mail" (U.) "Above all the coun- try rteent;. the weakness of Mr. Asquith e leacieiship, and his party hK<s suffered enor- mous disasters at the polls. This election is the end of Free Trade." "VIGTHIS OF OVER-CONFTDEiNOE." "Daity Chronicle" (L.) "Liberal candi- j dates and workers have, in some instances, been the victims of over confidence. If they could maintain the level of 1906 it was assumed that aJl would be well." 'STRENGTH OF THE REACTION." "Daily News" (L.): "If the loss is pro- partdoniateiy less than on Wednesday, it is yet worse than the Libera-ls would have predicted a few dave ago, and, we fancy, than the Tories expected. The rejection of an important Govern meent official like Mr. Pteojse indicates the strength of the re- action." "WHAT HAS TO BE DQNil" "Daily Express" (U.): "It is not enough! to turn narrow defeats into• majorities, or pull down the la.rg-e majorities against us what has to be dona is to strike such a. blow that the sigiiificajroe of it can be mistaken by none." "NOT GOOD READING FOR LIBERALS." "Morning Leader" (L.): That, (the eleven gains of Friday) is not good reading for} Liberals, but they are still wet!! ahead, and there is ample'reason to think that ift) v."ae an exceptional result which will not be repeated." "SURE SFGN OF IMPOTENCE." "Birmingham Daily Post" (F.): If Unionists wish to realise how bitterly an ear success in the counties has hurt the self- Esteem of the Liberals they will turn to the 'v organs of that party. Yesterday morninr some of them were so angTy that t.hey v oeaeed to reason and became mereiy abusive. This is the sign that they realise their imipotence to avert what mtist be to them a catastrophe—narneiy, their abject de- pendence on the Irish vote in Parliaanmt."

MOB RAID) LIBERAL HOUSES. WINDOWS SMASHED: EXTFAORDTN- ARY SCENES. Disorderly oftciurred at Downsajn Market, Norfolk, on Friday night after the return of Mr. Richard Winfrey (Liberal) for South-West Norfolk. A dense crowd, ehont- ing and booing, paraded the streets. They visited the houses of local Liberals, indhid- ing the magistrates, and smashed the win- dows. Shop fronts were wrecked, the police being powertesr. to check the crowd. Dis- order continued until midnight, considerable damage ybeing done. d;
