SOOTH GliflpUGAJl ELECTION. i THE 'POLLING AT PEN ARTH, I DEFEAT OF THE LIBERAL \lV GAIDIDATE. MEETING- OF LIBERALS AFTER THE POLL For the purposes of this election the District of I r Penarth was divided into two, those "residing in the Parish of Penarth recording their votes in the Board Schools, and those in the Cogan and Llandough parishes in the Cogan Board Schools. The PoII opened at 8 o'clock, and at Penirth the first to vote tor Mr Arthur J. Williams was Mr W. Jones Thomas, and the first for Major Quin, Mr J. Y. Strawson. During the first hour electors came steadily to the poll, and by dinner time 400 had voted. During the dinner hour, the polling clerks were kept busily employed, but in the aternoon, the Tories, who Lad a good supply of carriages, had little to do, save take each other for a drive. On the Liberal side there were not at any time more than half-dozen carriages in use, whilst there were about twelve on which the blues rested. The Liberal party obtained the use of th Jubilee Hall for their Committee Room, but the Conservatives had specially trected on the piece of waste ground opposite the school) a wood shed. From morning to night there was a running fire of good humoured chaff kept up between parties, but there was no collision of an unfriendly character, we think, during the whole time the contest was pro- ceeding. When the official return of Mr Asquith, for East Fife, with an increased majority, was made known, there were three ringing cheers sent up by the Radi- cals, and among the Tories, many of whom believed in tneTory lie which was exhibited on the canvass the night before at the Tory toy house, in Windsor Road, there was a feeling of discomfiture. About ten o'clock Major Quin drove up to the Con- servative head-quarters, and was received with cheers, and an hour later Mr Arthur Williams and Mrs Williams received a most enthusiastic reception. Mr Williams visited the Committee Room and addressed a word to the workers there, and then walked to the place of polling, where lusty cheers were again given to Mr Williams, Mrs Williams, and "the boy-" After visiting the polling rooms, Mr Williams addressed two or three words to his supporters, expressing his confi- dence in the result, and then, as he took his departure hearty oheei'3 were again raised. Whilst Mrs, Williams was sitting iu her carriage, many of the friends shook hands with her, and wished success to ler lmsb.md. ler husbind. J After five o'clock, the polling was very heavy, those in the polling rooms, as well as those e Commitee rooms, had as much as they could dd, d the carriages were kept busily engaged until wÍthi, a minute of the close of the poll, wL- One of the Tories engaged in taking the figures Ú}i/j the entrance gate to the Schoolroom was made1 the subject of ridicule, having had a piece of red ribbon pinned to his coat at the back. For some r time he strutted about, unconsciously dispaying this colour until having occasion to visit the Committee shed opposite, the joke was discovered, and he was relieved. In the afternoon, bills were issued from the tory press, giving the result of the Election in Cardiff, and calling upon the electors tA vote for Major Quin, and no sooner were these out than the Radicals gave an order tor posters to be printed, intimating that 50 to 1 were voting for Williams at Barry, 40 to 1 in the Rhondda, and that Penarth was going solid .for Williams- In an hour after these bills were orderedf they were being posted. As one of the Tory carriages was standing outside the Liberal Committee Room; one of these red posters was fastened to the backhand through the Streets the carriage proceeded bearing the colours of both parties. The action of certain gentlemen who have hitherto been elected on the Penarth School Board by the Non-Conformist party was freely criticised, and i £ ?S certain these men will have to find a new body of supporters if they wish, next November, to be again elected. The event of organisation was badly felt through- out the day by the Liberal party. Amongst many of them there was plenty of enthusiasm' but very little work. What was anybody's business, was nobody's business, and doubtless many voters have been lost to Mr Williams in consequence. No effort was made to bring many who have left the town to Pnarth for the occasion, although be it stated to the credit of a fe v, they worked heartily to ensure his return* Several ladies also devoted much time and labonr in support of Mr Williams- Several, under the impression that they had votes and being fully qualified, attended the Liberal Com- mittee room to obtain their numbers, when it was discovered that their names did not appear on the Register The attention of Mr Llewellyn, assistant overseer, having been called to this, he produced his list presented to the Revising Barrister, whereon the names in every case appeared, and why these names were ommitted from the County register, it is hard to be understood, yet it nevertheless ought to lead to an iavestigation, for it is a shame that any elector should lose his vote through the carelessness of an official, if Z, such alone is the case. We-are heartily glad to con- gr&tulate Mr Llewellyn upon the complete andcorrecti ness of his Register. At the close of the poll a meeting of nearly 300 Liberal electors was held in the Jubilee Hall. No notice whatever of this meeting had been given, but as if guided by one impulse, they gathered here, and the grand opportunity was embraced for plain and faithful talking to each other. The meeting was quite informal, nevertheless there were some stirring addresses yiven by Messrs Sam Thomas, W. B. Shepherd, Joseph Henry Jones, G. Pile, W. Jones Thomas, and others, and it was ultimately resolved that a meeting be convened for V edmsday, the 31st inst., to be held iu Andrews' Lesser Hall, for the purpose of establishing a new Liberal Associationi For enthusiasm, the meeting was quite equal to that held on Friday, the 12th inst., when the electors were addressed by Mr Arthur J. Williams. The counting of the vote tcok place at the Tovrtl Hall, Cardiff, the result being as follows:- MAJOR QUIN (C) 5747 WILLIAMS (L) 4922 Conservative Majority 825
