Conservative Meeting at Kidwelly The Town Hall was crowded on Friday evening last, when a meeting was held in stiippol-t of the candidature of Mr Cremlyn. There was a good sprinkling of ladies in the audience. In great contrast with the meet- ing held about twelve months ago, the inter- val between the opening of the doors and the commencement of the proceedings was quite orderly, the only demonstration being made when Mr AW. Young, a prominent Conser- vative and Churchman, made his appear- ance. He was evidently gratified with the reception accorded him and raised his hat and bowed repeatedly to the cheering crowd. The chair was taken by Mr John Thomas, Velin,di-e, ii-lio was supported on the Platform b) Mr Cremlyn, Mr Alfred Stephens CC Broomtull; Aid. H. E. Smart, Mr Willie ^oung, Mr Mitchell, manager of the A.Y Jaane5; Glanymorfa, and Mr otoliGS, olotdon ncrpn-f The Chairman, vho wel[ tti&ing. said that they were well to tim* and he did not intend Ending long IclV!o„ them and Mr Cremlyn.. His first dntv :;5 chairman, was to offer the most sincere con gratula ions of that meeting, composed of people holding different political views, to their esteemed ex-mem,ber, Mr John Lloyd i^-C. (applause) on the creat onour that hud been conferred on him by his e vat ion to the judicial bench. They all1 knew at the last election that this promotion was coming, and he would be voicing: their feelings when he wished Mr Lloyd ~\lorg»n long Me and health to carry out the duties as ho knew lie would, well, conscientiously, and with great ability (applause). He (the speaker) was not a great politician and had not taken an active part in political matters, but he would repeat what he had said at the last election, that lIe was there in the inte- rests of his company and of their workmen (hear, hear). He wished them to believe that he had no ulterior motives, although it had been suggested that lie had, and he was of the some opinion to-day as in January last. If anything, he was a greater Tariff Reformer (hear, hear). He had not the time to study politics, but lie wid study trade, as every business man ought to do. This ellec- tion had come upon them as a great surprise, but he hoped they would carry it out in the best possibe spirit (hear, hear). Let them listen to arguments. He was glad to see such a good meeting of electors, and he would appeal to them for fair play for Mr Cremlfyn, Who would not say anything out of place, and who would be prepared to answer any ques- tons at the close of his address (applause). Mr Cremlyn, who was received with much cordiality, before dealing with current topics, desired to endrse what the chairman had said with regard to his ex-opponent, Mr J. laoyd Morgan, who had represented this constitu- I tu ency well for 21 years. He had never met a more courteous and straightforward gentle- man than Mr Lloyd Morgan, and he offered him from the bottom of his heart his warm- est congratulations on his appointment to his high office, which he would fill with credit to himself and honour to the natiion to which he belonged (applause). He then called for three cheers for Mr Lloyd Morgan, and these having been given, remarked "I wish we were as unanimous on other matters as on this." Proceeding, he said there was no reason why they, who'were in the vast majority in Kid- welly, should not give him a fair hearing as lie iv-oiild not attack persons but only discuss politics (hear, hear). The chairman had re- ferred to the suddenness of the General Elec- tion, and he could not understand why the country should be bothered by an election, especialtly as distinguished members of the Government said they had a majority of about a hundred. (A voice: The Lords won't pass it (laughter). What was it the Lords woud not poss? There was no single measure 'before the House of Lords which they refused to pass. Amidst a string of interruptions, the speaker declared with emphasis that the House of Lords had never refused to pass a measure that the people had declared in favour of in a specific election. The heredit- ary chamber must pass any bill that the people demanded. The Trades Disputes Bill was passed, not because their lordships were partial to it, but because the people desired it. With regard to the Education Bill, he would ask why, if the original Bill of the Liberal Government was demanded by the majority of the people, did they introduce four other Bills differing in principle? The Government were defeated in every by-elec- ion fought on the Education question. The Unionist policy was to give equal rights to all religious bodies to educate the children in their parents' belief, by allowing representa- tives of the Nonconformist bodies to enter Church schools to give religious instruction, an 1 Church of England representatives a similar right to enter Council: Schools. This arrangement would be equally fair to both sides, and would do away for ever with the bad feeling which existed to the detriment of reigious peace. It was said the Lords had thrown out the Licensing Bill in opposition to the feelings of the electors. This was DU- accurate as at every by-election fought after its rejection by the Lords the government were defeated. At Pudsey a 2,000 minority waa converted into a 2,000 majority. At this stage there was a good deal of unseemly interruption, and the candidate begged of the interrupter to allow him to proceed with his speech and to ask any questions he liked then. (The Interrupter: When you finish you'll be off-laughter). Everyone in Kid- welly and elsewhere would admit he never ran away without anwering any questions put to him (loud applause). If the government, after 17 defeats on the Licensing Bill thought they had the country at their back, why did they not appeal to the country? Had they done so and been returned the House of Lords would have passed it. He favoured the Unionist plan for reforming that House. Under it, the hereditary peers, with the addition of great soldiers, great statesmen, etc., would form one ha. f of the Second Chamber, the remaining half being directly elected representatives of the people (ap- plause). The late Mr Gladstone in 1893, in reference to the proposed totall abolition of the hereditary principle, said before he would do that he would think once, twice, or thrice, whilst the present government invited the electors to do it without any time for reflec- tion. If amended on the lines laid down by Lords Rosebery and Lansdowne, the House of Lords would be a more democratic institu- tion than at present (applause). He deplored the loss of stamina and physique in our men, wiiidi he attributed to the crowding into the towns owing to agricultural depression. He equally with the Liberals was anxious to get the people "Back to the Land." His party offered one solution of the difficulty, and the Liberal party another. Under the latter they had the small tenancies from the County Council. A man after paying back to the County Counci the 'actual sum paid for the land, and also the interest on that sum wpulid 'be no better off than under the old landlord policy, as the holding would still belong to the County Council. (A Voice: It won't be his land then). That was his (the speaker's) point. He would bo tenant still. Under the Unionist policy he would become

He came across a lady who said tliat she was pre pared to subscribe two guineas provided that the choir f rom Salt I/ake City was not allowed to sing there. He would like to what answer lie could give. Mr. W. Spurrell: Salt Lake City is not what it was. Mr H. E. Blagdon Richards: They have only one wife each now. Thie Chairman: I can quite understand the scruples of the lady; 'but I diotn't think we can maike any such terms. We will have to do without the two guineas.
MUSICAL AFFAIRS.
MUSICAL AFFAIRS. A letter was read from the Secretary of the Carnarvon Choral Society stating that they were rehearsing the test pieces; but they could not say whether or not hey would com- pete at Carmarthen Eisteddfod. They had no control over the music to be sung at the Investiture. The Rev Gwilym Davies asked if the secre- tary had information of any other choirs who intended to compete. The Secretary (Mr C. H. Portndll) said that lie had no direct information. Rev Griffith Thomas: I heard of one in Swansea to-day. Mr W. Jones said that there were choirs coming from Llanelly and Aberammian.

Kidwelly Notes.
Kidwelly Notes. The electors had an opportunity of hear- ing the new Liberal candidate, Mr John Hinds last (Thursday) night, when he addressed a public meeting at the Town Halil. The Mayor (Mr W. D. James) presided. What is described an an "unique" enter- tainment will1 be given on Wednesday even- ing, the 14th inst., by the members of St. Mary's English Sunday School. The pro- gramme will consist of songs, farces, and tableaux and selections will be given by the Kidwelly Ladies' String Band. x **♦ The promoters of the Conservative meeting held on Friday a report of which appears in our columns, are well pleased with the result. The meeting was certainly better onganized on this occasion than was that held during the General Election. The marriage was solemnized on Tuesday last at Pembrey olflis Jessie Hart, niece of Miss F. Hughes, grocer and general dealer, Kidwelly, and the Rev Fisher Griffiths, Welsh Wesueyan minister, Carmarthen. We hope to give a full account of the wedding next week, and in the meantime would wish the happy couple a long life of happiness and prosperity. f,- jf 1 Jt
THE.FINANCIAL PROBLEM.I
THE.FINANCIAL PROBLEM. Tlie Finance Committee reported that a sum of L112 18s 2d had been collected or promised in the town so far; but the work had not ibeen completed. There was a debit balance at the bank of 220 Os 8d. A lletter was read from Mr Wheldon stat- ing that a special meeting would have to be called to consider the position of affairs which was becoming serious. The Rev Gwillym Davies asked wihat had become of tine "Appeal Committee" which had been appointed. The Rev Griffith Tlromas said that he did not think that there had been any Appeal Committee; but the Finance Committee had been asked to draw up a list of persons to collect subscriptions and to divide the town into districts. He did not think that any special committee had been appointed. Mr J. Grossman said that it was time that a special committee were appointed to collect funds. They required a special committee for this purpose, as for every other purpose connected with the Eiseddfod. Mr J. B. Arthur said that the results of the canvass had been in many cases most dis- heartening. The English speaking friends liiad done quite as well as might be expected; but lie had received in several cases a very cold reception from prominent Welsh speakrrs The Chairman said that he did not think Carmarthen had realised its responsibilities either in this matter or in regard to the Eis- teddfod Choir. It was only once in a lifetime they had the National' Eisteddfod; and they had to awaken the town to a sense of its duty. If they failed to rise to their responsi- bilities, the-finger of scorn would be pointed at Carmarthen not only in the Principality, but wherever the Welsh language is spoken. It wlas decided to have a special meeting to consider the questions. j
THE SITE OF THE PAVILLION.
THE SITE OF THE PAVILLION. Mr E. Collier said that the other two archi- tects and himself had visited he Park, and they had agreed that a much better site could be found for the pavillion than that adopted. They agreed that the best plan wiouild be to use the centre of the track and the slopes bet-ween the steps and the Band Stand. This would give them some fine galleries. It was decided to refer the matter back to the Building Committee.

When she went out to work she kept him at home to mind a child which she had taken in to nurse. He had a good deal of trouble with cases of this kind. The people of the locality seemed to think that they had a right to keep their children at home as they liked. [Hie Chairman said that the defendant had odne wrong to keep the child at home at all.

Skin Irritation Made Her Walk the Room all Night. "Whenever I can recommend Cuticura Soap and Ointment, I shall be pleased to do so, as I consider them a household treasure. My hands and arms were covered with tinv small spots which caused me great irritation, I I n, and I had to walk my bedroom floor some- times all night. Then I got a littfe Cuticura Ointment which eased the irritation at once. My hupiband got me some Cutkiura Soap and more Cuticura Ointment from the Chemist, and .now I see nothing of the rash at all. I think the Cuticura Soap and Ointment should be kiCfpt in every home." (Signed) Mrs Annie Singly, 50, Victoria Rd., Work- sop. Notts.. Eng.* Apr. 17, 1910. In a later letter, Mrs Bingly adds: "The eruption used to come at first like little white blisters, and the irritation was dreadful. Then they would break and spread, but by the use of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment I have got quite cured. I have also recom- mended to a friend of mine both the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for her baby. He was covered with ra.sh and sores from his teeth. She is delighted with them, for they have cured her baby." -0,

out-and-out owner of the land. This was not a new thing, not an election dodge, but the policy had been in operation in Ireland, where £ 2,000,000 of English money had been given to enable the tenants to pay for their kind. If it was fair to treat the rebellions Irish farmer thus, would it not also be fair to lend the Welsh fainner the money? (applause) In this way lie would become the owner of his farm, and this would induce him to do his best to keep the markets for his produce.. The Unionist party said that more corn should be grown in England and Wales than was grown at present. (A Voice: How can you?) How could it be done 14 years ago? The land was as productive now as then, but it was not worth the farmer's while to culti- vate it, owing to unfair competition. The fault lay not with the land, but with their Free Trade system (appause and No, No.). It was all very well to say no, no, but why should Denmark and Holland be allowed to send in (butter and cheese, and Russia and America send in corn when they could get aall they needed from their own colonies. It was not right to depend on foreign countries for their food uppplies. They formed "cornei-s" in wheat which was 10s. a quarter higher than it was in 1906, and under Tariff Reform it was not intended to put a farthing tax on corn imported from the Colonies (applause). (A voice: Why does Canada ask for Free Trade?) Canada did not ask for Free Trade No responsible Canadia Minister had ever said it. What Canada desired was preferen- tial treatment. She would admit, for ex ample, tinplates free, and we in return would admit her corn free. He was not afraid of the food question. They had not free food in their country to-day. Their taxes on food amounted to six shiilings per head of the population, while in highly-protected America it amounted to only three shillings. Tariff Reformers advocated removing all food taxes and taxing luxuries and manufactured articles such as were produced in this coun- try. The tax on tea, 5d on every pound, amounted to 70 per cent. of its cost, while that on wine was only 10 per cent. There was no reason in this. Mr Gladstone, the greatest Chancellor this country had ever pro- duced (No, No)—in his opinion he was-laid down the principle that they ought to tax the luxuries of the rich. It wias frequently stated that the rich did not pay enough. Well if they taxed their luxuries they could not remove thie load on to the shoulders of the poor. If they put a tax of 50 per cent. on foreign motor cars the rich man would have to pay. (A voice:: So he ought. He doesn't etc me to pay—laughter). Then they should support the policy of Tariff Reform which would insist on the rich pay- ing the tax. If he did not, then the article would have to stay out of the country.(The voice: We can do without one-loud laugh- ter). Mr Oremlyn remarked that the per- sons who interrupted a speech never asked questions. (The voice: I have a lot, Mr Cremlyn-there is no animosity-JIaughror), He did mot object to, his friend, whose re marks had assisted him considerably. He had said in two words more than he (the speaker) could have said in an hour in appre- ciation of Tariff Reform. They should do without foreign manufactured goods which they could produce themselves. (The voice: Only motor cars; you include everything— laughter). He had dealt with agriculture, the land, the House of Lords, etc., and now hie would come to the Tinplate industry. (A voice: TaHIk about coal. The tinpla.te trade is better than ever it was). He was going to deal with coal presently. (The voice: Let's have that first). The Chairman hero appealed for order. Everything had gone on very well so far. They would have a chance to put their ques- tions later on. Mr Cremlyn said every great industry de- pended to a large extent on coal. In the U.S.A. the annual output w'as 429,000 000 tons, wheras at home it was 268,000,000 tons, and yet their steam coal' was the finest in the world. He attributed the difficulties in the South Wales coalfield to the Socialistic doctrines preached. to the colliers. He did not blame the Liberal Government, but he thought it a disgrace to Wales to be repre- sented by a man like Keir Hardie (applause). He should vote for a Liberal in preference to a Socialist. He approved of Trades Unions. The working men were as entitled to protect their interests as were the capitalists (hear, hear). But some of these societies had been captured by small bands of Socialists, much to the disgust of thousands of their members who objected paying to keep agitators in the House of Commons. (A voice: What about the Osborne judgment!) Did his interrupter know what that meamt. (The Voice: Yes, or I wouldn't ask). He doubted it, but he would say this, that the Oshorne judgment would not be reversed by the Liberal Government, Ithank God. If they did reverse it, it would be a bad. day's work for the Liberal party (applause). The Osoorne judgment said that the money which a. working man subscribed for his protection should not be used to keep Keir Hardie and others of his kidney in the House of Commons There was nothing to pre- Ivent working men subscribing towardss keep- ing the Socialists in the Commons. (A voice: Are you in favour of the minority ruling the majority ?) No, sir; that's why I object to your interruption (laughter and applause), The Socialist wanted the j'udgment reversed because he knew the workers of the country had sufficient sense not to subscribe to his funds. The strike was the result of the socialistic seed sown. Many of the colliery owners were strong Liberals and the old and tried Union leaders had advised the men not to strike. He now: came to Tinplatee. It was not strictly accura-te to say that the Tin- piate trade was more prosperous than ever. After 21 years, with a big outlay of capital and much hard worik they had just regained the position they were in before the Mc- Kinley tariff was put up. He was glad they we,re prosperous and it w aa because he wished them to keep the business they had that he advocated Tariff Reform. (A Voice: we should be in the wiorkhouse, everyone of us). If his friend by workhouse meant plenty of work in their manufactories, he agreed. The McKinlby tariff ousted them from the U.S.A. market and enabled the Americans to build up a large trade and to compete in neutral markets and in Canada. Were they going to allow the Americans to drive them out of their colonies and neutral markets? If they lost these, the tiiplate trade of South Wales wouilld 'be ruined as they could not be always finding new markets (hear, hear). Their colonies were their best customers, as they purchased half the manufactured goods pro duced in this country. Foreign countries could not compete with us because the Colonies gave us preference. But this would not last if England did not reciprocate. Germany and the U.S.A. would not slam the door in the face of the colonies, but were anxious to give them preference. If they allbwed this to 'be done they were bound to lose. He was greatly obliged to them for the hearing they had accorded him. He was not going to fight the new Liberal candidate on personal grounds. He was there as an advocate of Tariff Reform which was bound to be adopted in this country. The principle had already been adopted in the Merchants Shipping and Patents Acts. ff the protection of ships, patents and cocoa was right, why was it not right to protect farmers amd working men (applause). They could not always win, but it was sometimes better to fight and be than not fight at all. He would prosecute the fight with courage un- diminished and honour untarnished (loud applause mingled wits some booing). Mr Alfred Stephens, C.C., who was greeted with loud ;applause, said he supported Mr Cremlyn with much pleasure. He had strong reasons for so doing, 'but the principal one was that he was a, Tariff Reformer. The question of Tariff Reform affected them in an industrial district more than it did the farmer. Their opponent would try and lead them astray by saying the principal question was tliiat of the House of Lords. If all they were told of the Lords was true, they were the most eriminaal1 class in the country (laugh ter). How was it that their country was the most favoured in the world so far as political rights, such, as freedom of speech, were con- cerned (hear, hear). Whilst he did not agree with the present constitution of the House of Lords, he wias strongly in favour of a Second Chamiber. They must have one to protect the masses of the people. Mr Cremlyn had not put the reason for this election exactly right. It was due to the Irish party-the greatest enemies of the Liberal party. If they voted for the whiskey tax they would be turned out of Parliament by their angry con- stituents, whereas if they voted against the tax they would turn the Government out (applause). To avoid this fix, a General Election had been decided on. Tariff Reform was the main question in this fight. What was it Pit simply meant re-adjusting their duties to benefit themselves (applause). And was it not natural to benefit themselves and not the foreigners (hear, hear). Let taxes be taiken off the necessaries and placed on steel and other products used in their manu- factures. By the free importation of steel the erection of new steel works were chectked. and this was a loss to the country in the form of wages and rates and taxes. He produced some figures which sihowed that every article of food, lb-ut flour, was taxed. The more works they had the more coal would be used (hear, hear). A good deal of the stop days J ( and weeks, which so injuriously affected the colliers, was due to waiting ifor shilps to "take j away the laden trucks. With more works, and, therefore, a greater demand for coal for home consumption there would be no need--to wait for ships. He showed how, when trade was bad, the Free Trade system gave th,e foreigner an advantage over us. With an equal numlber of, say, steel furnaces in this country and Germany, when trade was pros- perous there was no difficulty. When trade diminished and each party had to close the same number of works, the foreigner would force the home manufacturer to further re duoe his f urnaces by sending over to this! country sitee bars at a price with which he could not compete (hear, hear). It was their experience that when the home trade was depressed foreign goods came pouring in. He hoped the eectors would between now and the election give the question their earnest attention, and he would assure them if they gave T-airiff Reform a trial, they would be greatly benefitted (loud applause). Questions were then invited, but those asked were not of much importance, and the candidate had no trouble in dealing with them Mr H. E. Smart proposed a very hearty vote of thanks to Mr Cremlyn for the most interesting address he had given. He would also like to thank the audience for the nice way they had conducted themselves. He had always assured Mr Clremlyn that he had more supporters in Kidwelly than he thought, and after this meeting he woud realize that it was so (applause). Mr Mitchell formally seconded,, and it was carried with applause. Mr Cremlyn briefly responded, and pro- posed in Wesh a vote of thanks to the Chair- man. This having been given the meeting, which in spite of the continuous interjec- tions of some members of the audience, was characterised iby great good humour, ter- minated.
