ABERDARE URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL…
ABERDARE URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION. APRIL 7th, 1913. To the Electors of Blaengwawr Ward. Ladies and Gentlemen,— At the request and pressing invitation of a large section of Ratepayers and Electors of the Blaengwawr Ward, I humbly offer myself as a Candidate, placing my services at the disposal of the Electorate. Having been born and brought up in the Ward, and having climbed from the first step of the ladder to my present position, commencing my career a a coal-miner and continued as such for nearly 20 years, surely I may claim to have some knowledge of the require- ments of your district. I may here state that my services have always been extended to any move- ment for the betterment of my fellow- workingmen in all charitable move- ments, Friendly Societies' work, and have been the means of forming and carrying out some of the most success- ful Building Societies ever established in this district, and this at less remuner- ation than any other Secretary doing similar work. Further, I may state that I have been one of the foremost in the procuring of our local Public Hall. I am not appearing before the Elec- tors full of pretentions, and making promises, but I shall be prepared at all- times to study and act for the welfare of the whole district, especially that of the Blaengwawr Ward. and not forget- ting that part of the Ward on tlw Cwmbaeh side, which has been so sadly neglected. The fact of my being a Ratepayer is a sufficient reason for me at all times to advocate all necessary improvements (consistent with economy) particularly those which appertain to the health of the district, Education, and other im- portant questions, which tend to raise and improve our children morally, socially, and physically. I claim no partisanship or cliqueism, but offer to fight on independent lines, considering myself a workman's repre- sentative, supporting Co-operation in aLl important matters coming under the control of our Local Council. In this Election, your interest and mine are identical. I have no axe to grind, no interest of my own to serve I other than those common to you all. If honoured with your confidence on the day of the Election, my constant and earnest desire will be to assist in making our district prosperous and pro- gressive. I have the honour to remain, Your obedient servant, EVAN JONES. Nantgwawr, Aberaman.

COUNTY COUNCIL BYE ELECTION. ABERDARE TOWN WARD. Ladies and Gentlemen,— You having again paid me the honour or returning me unopposed as one of your representatives on the above Coun- cil. in the first place I beg to thank you for the renewal of the confidence you have renoscd in me; and in the second place 1 promise to discharge my obliga- | tions to you in the future with the same I fidelity a?* I have done in the past. I remain, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM THOMAS (Solicitor), Aberdare.
MERTHYR BOARD OF CUARDIANS…
MERTHYR BOARD OF CUARDIANS ELECTION. MONDAY, APRIL 7th, 1913. To the Electors of the No. 1 Ward. Ladies and Gentlemen,— I wish to tender my most sincere thanks to the Electors of Llwydcoed Ward for electing me three years ago as one of your Representatives on the Merthyr Board of Guardians. In compliance with the request of a large number of Ratepayers, I have, again, consented to come forward and place my service at your disposal. During the three years I attended regularly the meetings of the Board and the various committees, especially the Aberdare Relief Committee, and en- deavoured to act justly towards, all and never ignored the poor and needy when applying for help. My policy on the Board has been "Fair field and no favour." I have also done my best to lessen the burden of the Ratepayers by opposing all unneces- sary and extravagant expenditure. Having property in the Ward your in- terest and mine are identical. It is easy to spend somebody else's money, but it is a different tale when the liability becomes a personal one. You have three votes to give to three Candidates, and I modestly suggest that my service on the Board, during the past three years, is sufficient to lay claim to ONE. Use the others as you feel inclined. I have been in the District 32 years, and who is it that knows your wishes better, and better able to act upon those wishes than one who has lived among you so long and studied your welfare? Should you again do me the honour of returning me as one of your Representa- tives for No. 1 Ward, I honestly and fearlessly pledge myself to merit the confidence you have reposed in me. Earnestly soliciting one of your votes, I am, Your sincere and faithful servant, DAVID JONES (Schoolmaster).
MERTHYR BOARD OF CUARDIANS…
MERTHYR BOARD OF CUARDIANS ELECTION. MONDAY, APRIL 7th, 1913. To the Electors of No. 2 (Cadlys) Ward. Ladies and Gentlemen,— In response to ohe appeal which has been made to me by a large number of Electors representing all the various in- terests in the above Ward to become a Candidate, I have much pleasure in placing my services at your disposal. I was born in the Ward, and have spent the whole of my life amongst you, consequently I know the district and its requirements. I have also during the last six years done the work of the Re- lieving Officer, and had a practical in- sight into the needs of the poor. I have not hitherto appealed in any capacity for the suffrages of the elec- torate, but outside public bodies I have taken keen interest in all matters ap- pertaining to the material, social and moral advancement of the community. My conception of the work of a Guardian is, that his efforts should be directed to the consideration of any and every interest regardless of party class, and that due regard should be given to economy, consistent with a progressive administration, and in these circum- stances the bestowal upon me of your confidence by electing me as your repre- sentative would enlist as my acknow- ledgment a conscientious and unpreju- diced performance of my duties. Soliciting the favour of your support, I am, Your obedient servant, THOMAS DAVID WILLIAMS. 40 Broniestyn Terrace, Aberdare.
MERTHYR TYDVIL UNION.
MERTHYR TYDVIL UNION. BOARD OF CUARDIANS ELECTION, APRIL 7th, 1913. To the Electors of the Town Ward, Aberdare. Ladies and Gentlemen,— It is to be regretted that the IteN-d. Father O'Reilly is nb longer eligible to be your representative on the Board of Guardians, owing to his departure from the district. For many years he has served you, and looked after the inter- ests of the poor, with admirable con- scientiousness and fidelity. Seeing that the reverend gentleman can no longer represent you, many of his former friends and supporters have approached me, as Father O'Reilly's successor at Aberdare, requesting me to allow myself to be nominated as a candidate in his place at the forthcoming Election. I have the honour therefore of offering myself as a Candidate for the Merthyr Board of Guardians for the Town (No. 3) Ward. Aberdare. If you do me the honour of returning me as your repre- sentative in the place of Father O'Reilly —it will be my endeavour to fulfil the duties of my office, and to look after your interests-in a worthy and efficient manner. Believe me, Very faithfully yours, ARTHUR E. SUTHERLAND. The Presbytery, Monk Street, Aberdare.

MERTHYR TYDFIL UNION. < BOARD OF GUARDIANS ELECTION, APRIL 7, 1913. To the Electors of No. III. or Town Ward, Aberdare. Ladies and Gentlemen,— In response to many urgent appeals from Electors in the above Ward I have consented to be nominated as a Candi- date for the vacancy which has arisen through the departure of Father O'Reilly from the town. I have for some time been a Member of the Ladies' Committee in connection with the Cottage Homes and Work- house, where the need of a woman's ex- perience and advice has been greatly impressed upon me. The care of chil- dren, the sick and the aged is peculiarly a woman's province. My training in Florence Nightingale's Nursing School will qualify me to per- form these duties, and as the wife of a business man and heavy ratepayer ac- tively engaged with him in business for a number of years, it will be to my interest as well as yours to promote economy with efficiency. Having resided amongst you for over 35 years, and always taking a keen in- terest in the public life of the town, I claim to have a good knowledge of its needs, and my views on these questions are well known. Should you do me the honour of electing me as one of your Guardians, I shall use my long and varied exper- ience and give my best efforts to pro- mote the' interests of the electors of this Ward. I am, ladies and gentlemen, Yours faithfully, ELLEN MILES.
BOARD OF CUARDIANS ELECTION,…
BOARD OF CUARDIANS ELECTION, APRIL 7th, 1913. To the Electors of the Town Ward, Aberdare. Ladies and Gentlemen,— It is now 15 years since first you did me the honour of electing me as one of your Representatives on the Board ot Guardians. During this period I have discharged my duties conscientiously, and, I ven- ture to think, to your satisfaction. As you are aware, vast changes have taken' place in the Poor Law and its administration of late, and there are further important changes contem- plated. In addition to this, there are several important schemes at present on foot with the Board involving the ex- penditure of large sums of money, and I may fairly claim that my past exper- ience will be of advantage to the Board as well as to the Ratepayers in the carrying out of these schemes. There is now being built for the Mer- thyr Tydfil Union at Pontsarn a Sana- torium which, when completed, will be one of the finest of its kind in the whole of Wales, and the fact that I am a mem- ber of the Welsh National Insurance Memorial and of the National Insurance Ccmmittee must be of great assistance in the administration of this Sanator- ium. The scheme for the erection of Cot- tage Homes and its development have always received my warmest support. To the Ratepayers this scheme will not involve any extra financial burden, whilst to the children it is bound to .prove a great advantage, affording them opportunities which will enable them to better fit themselves for life's stern battle. Acting upon medical advice, T was compelled to take a sea trip recently, but I am pleased to say that I have now been restored to health, and I am ready t(. serve you again to the very best of my ability as one of your representa- tives. If returned, I need hardly say that I shall continue to watch as closely as ever over your interests, as well as those of the deserving poor. I am, Your obedient servant, DAVID HUGHES.

Women and the Guardians ,…
Women and the Guardians Election. On Monday Mrs. R. H. Miles ad- dressed a meeting of Abernant people at Bethel Chapel. Mrs. Miles is one of the candidate for the representation of No. III. or the Town Ward on the Mer- thyr Board of Guardians. In her ad- dress she pointed out the need of hav- ing more women on the Board of Guard- ians inasmuch as a very great portion of the work of that body might be termed "woman's work." It was an earnest conviction that there should be female representation of this Ward on the Board that induced her to seek the suffrages of the electors. In supporting her the electors would be supporting the women's cause. In No. II, or Gadlys Ward, Mrs. Richards again seeks the vote and in- terest of the electors. Owing, however, to the serious illness of Mr. Richards she has been unable to hold any meet- ings this time. In No. I., or Llwydcoed Ward, Mrs. A. N. Jenkins seeks re-election. Dur- ing the last three years Mrs. Jenkins has rendered an excellent account of herself as a guardian of the poor, and her past record on the Board is her chief credential while asking the electors for a renewal of their confidence, so that she may continue her good work on be- half of the poor.
IThe Aberdare Elections.
I The Aberdare Elections. MR. E. STONELAKE-A BRIEF SKETCH. Mr Edmund Stonelake, who is now seeking the suffrages of the electors in the Gadlys Ward of the Aberdare Dis- trict Council, is forty years of age, a.nd a native of Pontlottyn, but has resided for the greater part of his life in the Aberdare Vallev. He is a miner, and has worked underground since he was a very young lad. He lost his father when a boy, and his widowed mother had a great struggle to bring up a large family, Edmund being the youngest. His reading propensities manifested themselves when he waa very young, and through life he has been a diligent student of good literature. He has been a temperance man since he was 16 years of age. He commenced to interest him- self in labour matters at the age of 22. He joined the Socialist movement when 25. In 1902 he was appointed secretary of the Aberdare, Trades and Labour Council, and still holds that office. In 1904 he was elected to represent the Blaengwawr Ward on the Aberdare Dis- trict Council. Mr Stonelake has taken a very intense and intelligent interest in the housing question. The move- ment to erect working men's cottages in the area of the Abeixlare District Council may be regarded as the out- come of a report which he published concerning the sanitary conditions of the district. Mr Stonelake has also been of valuable aid in connection with the Electric Light and Tramway Systems. Now while these schemes are still in the evolutionary stage it would be a calamity to lose his valuable services from the Aberdare Council.

The time is at hand when the electors of the above Ward are called to think a.nd to change. From all points of view there is a need for a more equitable balance of interests.

Davies, the Labour candidate for the Guardians, eonWf; in daily contact with the ad- ministration of the law of relief. He has been a prominent social reformer for many years. and it is high time that the workers of the district should avail themselves of his services. There are side issues that other candidates will emphasise, but Mr John Davies de- mands every workman's vote on every issue pertaining to the work of a guardian. Rally round him; he is a strong conscientious worker, and he is worthy of your confidence and warm sup- port, and when he comes up top-sawyer in this election we can congratulate our- selves on a B*«t Iia.,T'S work. -Yours truly, UN O-R WERIN.

Federation Conference. —— The conference of the Soutk Wales miners was resumed on Tuesday. A re- port of Monday's meeting will be found on page 6 of this issue. The following is an official report of Tuesday's meet- ing:— "Mr Vernon Hartshorn, on behalf of the Executive Council, moved the follow- ing recommendations: — That the Council be advised to ao- cept the services of Mr Thomas Rich- lards. M.P., as full-time general secre- I tary at the salary already decided upon by a previous conference; that he shall arrange for himself or his assistant to be at the office during' j office hours; that a shorthand typist with a thorough knowledge of office work be engaged at a salary of .4104 a year, and that if the Executive Council find it necessary to engage additional assistance that tkey be empowered to do so.

A discussion took place with regard to non-Union men at the collieries, and it I was resolved That a day be fixed when all men employed at the collieries are ex- pected to become members of the Federation,, and that stoppages shall only take place at those collieries where there are non-Union men. The last day of April was fixed for this purpose. LABOUR AND POLITICS. A discussion arose on the decision of the Council arrived at some time age with respect to the contesting of all the mining seats on strict Labour lines. A long discussion took place as to whether Mr Brace should withdraw from South Glamorgan and seek some other seat or contest South Glamorgan upon Labour lines only at the next election. It was- decided that this matter should be fur- ther considered by the lodges and by Mr Brace before any decision is arrived at. Votes of thanks concluded the pro- at.
