Notes and News. The present Election is a very pleasing contest. So far, both parties declare them- selves satisfied. Wales led the fray with a rousing victory on Monday. The German scare does not seem to have affected the Swansea elector. Twenty of the new Welsh M.P.'s will have been selected by to-night (Saturday). This will leave ten contests to be decided during the coming week. Mr. Timothy Davies has had an unpleasant task at Louth. A local hotel proprietor declared that Mr. Davies could not or would not pay his hotel bilL Mr. Davies, in order to stop such calumny, had to issue a writ against the man at once. Mr. Vaughan Davies is making an excel- lent fight in Cardiganshire, where he is opposed by a local brewer of some position. In spite of all the curious Tory tactics employed in that county, it is generally ex- pected that Mr. Davies's majority will be very large. Mr. Lloyd George had a rousing meeting at Llandrindod on Monday, where he ad- dressed a meeting in support of the candi- dature of Sir Francis Edwards. Sir Francis is a very genial candidate and a popular favourite on both sides of the house, and makes an ideal country member. The question of unemployment has been very prominent before the electors for the past week or two. We are told by the Prime Minister that workmen's wages are lower in Germany that in Britain, while the Tariff Reformers maintain that their system will bring more work into this island. It seems, therefore, that. Tariff Reform means more work and less wages." In the coal mining district of South Wales, a great cry has been raised against the working of the Eight Hours Act for colliers. As this Act was brought about mainly through the exertions of the Labour members, it is somewhat peculiar that the men should become hostile to it. During the campaign in East Denbigh- shire on Monday, Mr. David Rhys said that Like Haman of old, the Radicals had raised a gallows to make an end of the Unionist Party, and had inscribed upon it The people shall prevail.' Like Haman of old, they had prepared for their own extinction, for the voting on Saturday and Monday had declared that the People shall prevail." Mr. Will Crooks only arrived home in England on Sunday evening last, and had a rousing reception from the people of Wool- wich. But like Christ of old, the people that cheered him on the Sunday, voted against him on the morrow, and he was defeated by an ordinary Tory opponent by a handsome majority. In future, both Will Crooks and Will Steadman will have to attend more to their respective electorates than they have done in the past.
