ANGLESEY. E. J. Griffith (L) R. O. Roberts (U) 2>43" Liberal majority 3>452 Wild enthiisiasm prevailed at Holryneaa on Saturday night, when Mr. Ellis Griffith, in com- pany with Mrs. Griffith and the Rev. John Wil- liams 4 Brynsiencyn), arrived by train from Llan- gefni, a crowd of large dimensions assembling in the vicinity of the station. When the hon- member appeared he was greeted with vociferous cheering, renewed again and again. He was escorted by the cheering crowd to the residence of Mr. T. R. Evans, after which he entered a carriage, wihch was drawn by willing hands, a huge crowd following him round the town. The rejoicings were great, and were carried on until a late hour. Seen by a correspondent, Mr. Griffith said he attributed his largely mcreased majority to the great enthusiasm and splendid work of the Siambers of the Liberal party throughout the constituency. I also think that part of the enormous majority is to be attributed to the fact that long before the election took place we had organised a series of meetings throughout the conn/ty, where the Budget had been explained in detail and the constitutional aspect of its not unlikely rejection by the House of Lords. To Mr. Cyril Jones, the agent of the Liberal party, must also be attriubted all that successful organ- isation can accomplish." MR. R. O. ROBERTS ON HIS DEFEAT. Addressing his 'supporters at the Constitu- tional Club, 'Holyhead, on Saturday night, Mr. R. O. Roberts, the defeated candidate, who was accorded an enthusiastic reception, said he ascribed his defeat to three causes—the exagger- ated statements made in regard to old-age pensions, the gross misrepresentation of the Budget, and the organised demonstration in Llangefni, at which over 6,000 of the electors of the constituency were present on the day pre- ceding the poll and at which the Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke. He was convinced that every Conservative worker did his best and that everything that could be done had been done. He attributed the increase in his opponent's majority to the fact that a large number of waverers had been carried away by the enthu- siasm which prevailed at the Llangefni meeting. It had been a strenuous and uphill fight, but he felt confidenet that had he been allowed another 10 days or a fortnight he would have done very much better. (Cheers.) Taking all things into consideration he was perfectly satisfied. He would at once restart with a view to strengthen- ing the weak links in the organisation of the party forces in the county and to preparing with one united force for the next contest. (Cheers.)
