NODION NED LLWYD. SWN Y FRWYDR. Dyma sydd i'w glywed ymhob man y dyddiau hyn. Nid ydyw y brwdfrydedd mi gredaf wedi codi i'r pwynt uwchaf eto. Cyfyd y llanw hwnw fel ac y bydd dydd yr etholiad yn agoshau. Deallaf mae cyfarfodydd dipyn yn anffafriol oedd i Mr Thompson yn Eglwysbach a Glan Conwy. Mae yn sicr genyf nad ydyw ef na neb o'i bleidwyr am foment yn meddwl y bydd iddo gael ei ethol yn lie Syr Herbert Roberts, un sydd wedi profi ei hun yn wr anrhydeddus yn nghyflawniad ei ddyledswyddau yn y -Senedd. Boneddvvr teilwng ydyw ef, a diau genyf y bydd i'r etholwyr ddangos eu parch iddo eto trwy ei ddychwelyd gyda mwyafrif mawr. Yr oedd yn dda genyf ddeall fod cAn etholiadol "Searchlight" yn cymeryd yn dda yn y cyfarfodydd. LLANFAIRFECHAN. Bu cyfarfod cyhoeddus yma nos Fawrth, o blaid Mr William Jones, A.S. Siaradai tri o wyr galluog o Fangor gydag eraill, sef y Parch Thomas Hughes, Parch Wynn Davies, a Mr T. J. Williams, St. Paul's. Mae gan y tri hyn ddigon i'w ddweyd, ac yn gallu dweyd hefyd gyda hwyl. Deallaf fod y gymdeithas Rydd- frydol yma yn fyw iawn, dan lywyddiaeth Mr W. M. Eames, ac y mae ganddynt ysgrifenydd rhagorol, yn mherson Mr Griffith. Ewch ymlaen yn galonog gyfeillion, mae baner bnddugol- iaeth yn eich haros.—Drwg iawn genyf ddeall fod y Parch J. Arfon Davies yn wael, ac wedi ei gaethiwo i'w wely. Mae ef wedi cymeryd rhan amlwg gyda Rhyddfrydiaeth, a gwahanol achos- ion daionus yn yr ardal. Hyderaf y bydd iddo gael adferiad buan, ac y gwelir ef eto yn gallu cymeryd rhan yn mywyd cymdeithasol y lie.— Mae yma barotoi mawr at y cyfarfod sydd yn Horeb y Nadolig. Hei lwc y bydd i gor meibion Owen Thomas enill y wobr ynte ? PENMAENMAWR. Y dydd o'r blaen gwelais yma yr anerchiad hardd a gyflwynir ddydd Iau nesaf i'r boneddwr Colonel Darbishire, Y.H., am ei wasanaeth cy- hoeddus yn a thros Penmaenmawr. Ruasai yn dda iawn gennyf fod yn y cyfarfod, ond nis gallaf. Os bu boneddwr erioed yn haeddu anerchiad fel hyn, yn ddios y mae y boneddwr hwn. Nid oes mewn un lie yn y wlad deulu sydd wedi bod mor garedig a haelionnus at wahanol achosion a theulu Colonel Darbishire. Er ei fod ef vn awr yn bwriadu ymneillduo o fywyd cyhoeddus, o galon bur yr wyf yn dymuno iddo lawer iawn o flynyddau eto i wn.eud daioni, ac yr wyf yn sicr mai hyn ydyw dymuniad pawb sydd yn ei adna- bod. CONWY. Mae y Rhyddfrydwyr yma wedi dechreu ar eu gwaith, ac yr wyt yn deall fod y rhagolygon mor glir ag erioed. Mae yr amgylchiadau yn galw am i bob un wneud ei ran yn ddewr yn y frwydr hon. Mae enw Mr. Lloyd George yn anwyl gan y mwyafrif yng Nghonwv, ac y mae y gwaith mawr sydd wedi ei wneud ganddo yn ein cym- mell ni oil i wneud yr hyn a allwn tuag at ei ddy- chwelyd gydag anrhydedd. Mi a wn yr etholir ef, ond nid wyf yn foddlawn ar hynny yn unig; rhaid i ni ddangos ein bod yn gwerthfawrogi y gwasanaeth gwerthfawr sydd wedi ei roddi ganddo, nid i ni yn unig, ond i'w genedl a'r wlad yn gyffredinol. Dyma gan a welais y dydd o'r blaen. Cenir hi eisoes mewn amryw leoedd "MAE GEORGE YN FFRYND I MI." (Meddai Mr Vincent yn Nghaernarfon, Y mae George yn ffrynd i mi "). Alaw Gwnewch bobpeth yn Gymraeg." Mae'r frwydr wedi dechreu, Fe ganodd corn y gid 'Rym ninan oil yn barod I sefyll dros ein gwlad Yn unol ymosodwn I godi hon i fri, Fe ddywedodd Mr Vincent, "Mae George yn ffrynd i mi." Mae George yn ffrynd i mi, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi, Mae pawb 'run farn a Vincent, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi. Bu'r ffarmwr diwyd gonest Yn dioddef, do yn hir, Gan geisio ei iawnderau Oddiwrth Arglwyddi'r Tir A hwythau yr Arglwyddi Yn gwrthod gwrando'i gri, Ond dywed y ffarmwr heddyw, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi." Mae George yn ffrynd i mi, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi, Ond dywed y ffarmwr heddyw, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi. Mae'r hen sydd yn y gornel, 'Rol bod am gyfnod maith Yn brwydro'n erbyn tlodi, Fel tystia llawer craith Mae yntau heddyw'n canu Wrth danllwyd braf o dan, Mae'n diolch am ei bensiwn, A dyma yw ei gan Mae George yn ffrynd i mi, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi, Mae pawb 'run farn a Vincent, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi. Mae pawb sydd am iawnderau, Yn bloddio heddyw'n glir, I lawr a'r holl Arglwyddi, Ymladdwn dros y gwir," Mae'r gweithwyr holl yn uno I ganmawl Dafydd ni, A dwed pob un o honynt, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi." Mae George yn ffrynd i mi, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi, Mae pawb 'run farn a Vincent, Mae George yn ffrynd i mi. Rhag. 18, 1909. DEINIOL FYCHAN. Yr oedd Mr Vincent yn cynnal cyfarfod cyhoeddus ym Mangor nos Fawrth, yn y Penrhyn Hall, ac Arglwydd Penrhyn yn Gadeirydd. Dy- wedodd Mr. Vincent yn hwnnw fod yn ddrwg ganddo na fuasai yng Nghaernarfon yu gwran- daw ar yr araith ragorol oedd gan Mr Lloyd George. Pan y soniodd am yr enw rhoed clap calonog iddo gan ran fawr o'r gynulleidfa. Dywedodd mai nid y Gyllideb ydyw y peth pwysicaf yn yr etholiad, ond cael gwaith i'r bobl a chyflog am ei wneud a'r cynllun i sicrhau hynny, wrth gwrs, yn ol ei farn ef, ydyw Tariff Reform. Yr oedd hefyd gydag ef rhyw fargyf- reithiwr o'r enw Mr Henry-o ba le nis gwn. Siaradwyd yn Gymraeg gan y Parch. W. Morgan, M.A., St. Ann's. Dywedodd ef iddo fod yn Ffestiniog, ac iddo gael ymgom ynoi masnachwr o'r Ile hwnnw am y fasnach lechi. Dywedodd hwnnw wrtho nad oedd eisieu rhoddi toll ar lechi tramor ei fod ef yn adeiladu tai weithiau, a'i fod yn cael y llechi i'w toi o'r lie rhataf. Y casgliad naturiol oddiwrth yr ymddiddan oedd fod y masnachwr hwnnw yn toi ei dai gyda llechi tramor. Anhawdd iawn gennyf gredti hyn. Mae yn debyg fod yn yr ardal honno rai all gadarnhau hyn neu ei wrthbrofi, Cafodd Mr Morgan ei alw i gyfrif yn gyhoeddus gan Mr Pentir Williams ar fater arall yn y cyfarfod, ac yn fuan iawn ar ol hynny fe eisteddodd i lawr. Mae yn debyg y bydd y Rhyddfrydwyr yn y cyfarfod cyhoeddus nesaf a gynhelir yn adolygu areithiau y cyfarfod a gynhaliwyd nos Fawrth. Y NADOLIG. Cyn y caf ysgrifenu eto bydd y Nadolig wedi myned heibio. Mae rhagolygon gwych am Eisteddfod lwyddiannus yng Nghonwy fel arfer, ac yn Eglwysbach a Threfriw. Bydded llwydd- iant mawr ynddynt oil.

Nodion Llywarch Hen Y mae Gwyneth Vaughan yn wael ei hiechyd. Gofid i'r genedl yw deall hyn. Nid llawer o ferched blaenllaw a galluog a roddwyd i'n cenedl ni. Y mae hi yn un o'r hoelion wyth."

Disgwylir yr Athro Henry Jones i fwrdeisdrefl Arfon ar nosweithiau ola'r flwyddyn i gefnogi ymgeisiaeth Lloyd George. Caiff groeso calon a gwrandawiad aiddgar gan lawer heb fod o'r un farn wleidyddol. Gan wired mai Lloyd George yw ein gwleidyddwr mwyaf poblogaidd, yr Athro Henry Jones yw'r athronydd uwchaf ei glod a fedd ein cenedl. Car Gymru, a gwilia ei symud- iadau o ganol gwlad yr Yscotyn, a daw yn ei dro i daro ei ysgwydd gref o dan ei baich. < Brodor o Gaerfyrddin oedd Syr Alfred Jones, brenin masnach y banana. Ni fagodd Cy nru ers talm wr o gynheddfau masnachol cryfach. Meddai lygaid barcut i ganfod ei gyfleu, a gwyddai'n dda lle'r oedd ysglyfaeth yn ymguddio. Yr oedd yn Gyniro dymunol, ddaed ag y gellid disgwyl i wr o anian fasnachol, heb reddfau llenvddol y genedl, fod Ni chymysgodd lawer a Chymry ein trefi Seisnig, am mai rhwymau llenvddol neu wleid- yddol a'u tynai hwy ynghyd, a chi^iai ef i raddau 1 1:1 o swn y naill a'r llall. Treiliodd lawer diwedd wythnos yn ardal Llanddulas, a thalodd beth sylw i fywyd y pentrefwyr. Rhoddodd yn rhad iddynt goed ffrwythau i'w planu yn eu gerddi; ond dilewyrch fu'r anturiaeth. Gwell gan Gymry wobr mewn eisteddfod na choed ffrwythau. Mas nachwr trwyadl a llwyddianus oedd ef, heb ynddo fawr o'r hud a'r lledrith barddonol sy'n hudo ysbryd y Cymro. Ni fu colli'r peth hwn iddo'n golled. Casglodd yn ei oes agos i filiwn o bun- au-yr orchest yr ymestyna pawb am dani. Bu farw'r Brenin Leopold, Harri'r VIII. y ganrif hon. Yr oedd yn waeth na Pharaoh am ei greulondeb. Gweddi'ai ei wraig gyfreithlon ddydd a nos am gael marw, er cael dianc o gyredd ei greulonderau. Anfonodd un o'i ferched i wall- gofdy i foddio ei flinder. Blinai ar ei wragedd, a chai pob hoeden groesaw yn ei balas. Diwedd- odd ei oes yng ngwarogaeth puteiniwr. Bu farw gan bwyso ar gredo'r Eglwys Babaidd, a threfna'r Eglwys hono er cydnabod mam ei blant ieuengaf fel ei wraig gyfreithlon. Onid yw'n rhyfedd y goddefwyd y fath anuwioldeb llygredig yn nheyrn- asoedd cred ? Ceuodd y teyrnasoedd eu clustiau rhag clywed llefau'r Congo, a cheuasant eullygaid rhag gweled llygredd bywyd y brenin a'u nhoddai. Beth bynnag a wnelo'r Eglwys Babaidd, y mae gwyngalchu bywyd yr adyn aflan a chreulon hwn allan o gwestiwn. Amser yn ol rhanai Mrs Lloyd George wobrau yn un o Ysgolion Caerdydd. Diolchodd y plant iddi yn Gymraeg. Ymhlith y rhai diolchgar yr oedd geneth bengrych, groenddu o Affrica bell, yn diolch yn iaith Gwalia Wen. Esiampl ragorol i Gymry Cymru. Thank you neu'r tanciw bastardaidd yw eu diolch hwy. Rhyw wyth y cant o Gymry sy'n nhref Caerdydd. Leied eu rhif, lefeiniant y dref Seisnig, a llusgant hi'n araf i sylweddoli mai hi yw prif dref Cymru. Paham y llithrodd masnach Caerdydd i ddwylaw estron- iaid ? A'r Cymry i Loegr i fasnachu, a daw estron- iaid i'w broydd hi ei hun. Nid eu beio hwy'r ydym. Ond beio ein cig a'n gwacd ein hunain am adael Cymru i'r neb a'i hoffo. Os myni glod bid farw. Ymlidiwyd Pawl Kruger o Dde Affrica, a bu farw yn ffoadur. Gwrthododd blygu i'r awdurdodol Mr Joseph Chamberlain. Gwrthododd Gladstone o'i flaen, a Balfour ar ei ol yr un ffurf-wasanaerh diflas. Anfonodd Joseph luoedd Prydain i droi Pawl Lywydd o'i wlad, a llwyddodd. Mr Kruger oedd prif bechadur y byd y pryd hwnw. Bellach gwawriodd ei amser gogoneddus yntau. Rhoddir iddo safle sant gan Eisteddfod y Cymry, Paul Kruger yw testyn y bryddest. Bu rhai o hyr- wyddwyr yr Eisteddfod yn y wlad hon adeg y rhyfel, yn lluchio pechodau Kruger fel olew i'r tan. Pa wedd erbyn y newidiasant ? Peidiodd yr aur, oedd yn peri i'r oraclau gablu. Daeth y doethion i'w hiawn bwyll yng nghorsydd siom. Caned beirdd Cymru eu calonau i Pawl Kruger, yna fe wel Cymry Johannesburg loywed barn pobl yr hen wlad. Y mae chwys oer ar ruddiau Maldwyn, a chura ei chalon Ryddfrydiol yn. wan.

Trefriw Council School. The following is the report made by H.M. Inspector:— Mixed department: This school ooultinues to do very creditable work. The headmaster's own class (Standards III. and IV.) is taught with thoroughness and intelligence in all sub- jects. A great improvemenit has been effected in the teaching of English., by paying special attention to conversational lessons in every cLass. The reading of Standards IV. and V. is particularly good. A proper arno-unt of time is given to silent reading in the first class., and the children are encouraged to reproduce on paper in their own words, the substance of the pas- sage read. The history and arithmetic sylla- buses of this class will be considerably improved by the adoption of the suggestions discussed with the assistant master on the) day of inspec- tion. Some lessons on Citizenship should be given to the older children,. Drill is rather backward but this is probably due to the fact that a new oourse of physical exercises has re- centily been introduced. The children are clean and well behaved, and the general tone of the school is highly satisfactory. This school is one in which cottage gardening mdiglhit be mioisit usefully added to the curriculum." Infants' division: This division is plea,s. antly and well taught. All the lessonis are give i in a bright and cheerful manner, and are m every way well adapted to meet the needs of young children. Kindergarten exercises and giames are good features of the work. Addi- tional hat pegs should be provided for the in- fants in the large cloakroom used by the gMs."

Fred W. Jones. CAPTAIN OF THE LLANDUDNO COR- INTHIANS WEDNESDAY FOOTBALL CLUB. This veteran player first played with the Llan- dudno Gloddacth Roversi, anid afterwards joined the renowned Llandudo Swifts. He afterwards migrated to the following English cluibs Hard- wick, Srrall Heath, Burslem, Lincoln City and Reading, ultimately returning to the LlamJdudl110 Swifts. He was International for Wales versus Scotland in 1893, and ohosein for trial matches, and he also won his cap far Coast' inter-oounity matches. He is the proud possessor of innum- erable gold medals and. other prizes in connec- tion with football, swimming, and running, and held rhe junior swimming championship at Llandudno in 1884. He is the esteemed and valued Hon. Secretary of the North Wales Wednesday League, of which Colonel Mellor, of Abergele, is President. Fred," as he is still called by even the ris- ing generation, stands over six feet in height, and is a back of splendid abilities. Never has he been known to wilfully foul an opponent. And ambitious little players scarcely fear to go against him, although, at the same time, they get to know that the leviathan almost invariably comes off best. Fred is a cool player, has splen- did resource, and is a marvel with head work. His innate love of the game has caused him to be still playing, and he appears, like the pro- verbial brook, to go on for ever." Youing players will do well to copy Fred's clean meth- ods, and to play the game always in its best sense, whealier winning or losing. I wish Fred many more years' enjoyment in the football arena. « VIGILANT."

North Wales Coast League. N.W.U.C. v. LLANBERIS. This match was played in wretched weather on Saturday on the Ffriddoedd ground, Mr Caleb Thomas having charge of the whistle. The following were the teams:- University J, Daniels, D. S. Owen and C. H. Jones, A. Williams, Don Rowlands, and Brock, T. E. Jones, Matthews, Wright, Smedley, and Claude Davies. Llanberis Owens, R. Lloyd, and Pritchard, D. Jones, Buck, and Thomas, W. R. Williams, W. H. Williams, E. Ll. Hughes, R. D. Evans, and D. Roberts. The Varsity were the superior eleven through- out, and at half time led by three goals to nil, the scorers being Wright, Smedley, and Matthews. On resuming five more goals were added by the students through Wright, D. S. Owen, T. E. Jones, Matthews, and Bob Lloyd (Llanberis). The only goal scored by Llanberis was captured by W. H. Williams after some fine combination.

Colwyn Bay Conservative Meeting. To THE EDITOR OF THE Weekly News. Sir,—The two following questions were sent up to the platform to be answered at last Thursday's meeting in the Public Hall. I know they reached the Chairman, but for some reason they were not answered. I wonder why ? (I) Does Mr. Thompson, as a working man, think that working men are incapable of knowing what they want but must have others (the Lords) to tell them ? (2) How many of your party in Parliament voted for the Old Age Pension's Bill ? Perhaps it is a case of least said soonest mended."—Yours, &c., QUESTIONER.

An Open Letter to "Hecklers." To THE EDITOR OF THE Weekly News. Sir,—I was present at Sam Thompson's meet- mg in Gkun Conway last Wednesday, who, in the beginning, appealed for a fair hearing foT his side as for his opponents. It was con- cealed by his hearers to, be his due, and pro. mised to be given him. I'm sorry to, have to say this promise was niot kept. This is the more regrettable, because the sub- jects to be decided by the electors in this crisis are ones calling forth the most serious feelings of our character; and when our opponelfllts are speaking before us, and we interject, contra- dict, prevent the conclusion of a sentence, and also of their discourse, they can only be im- pressive with the fact that we are possessed of very shallow mentality, and give full evidence of being bad mannered. We don't, to-day, settle our national policy by knives, pistols, and mur- ders, but have attained to that eminence of manhood where the brain and ueart is the domi- nant power. To be conquerors of these arrogancies, greedi- aess, and hindrances, we must array be- fore one another the overwhelming facts of high character and moral degenacy at present so much in evidence. This only can be done by deep feeling and deep thinking; not by these shallow in/terjections which are no mare worth than were children's pop-guns in civil war. Take this matter to heart, and remember the words of the wise man:—"A little pot soon boils.I am, &c., BROAD ARROW.

Mr. William Jones' Campaign. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETINGS AT LLYSFAEN AND LLANDUDNO JUNCTION. Mr. William Jones, M.P., on Thursday evening, addressed a meeting of his constituents in the new Wesleyan Chapel, Llysfaen, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. The chair was taken by County Councillor Robert Evans, and Mr. William Jones wasaccompanied by Sir Herbert Roberts, Bart., M.P. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and ringing cheers were given again and again for the member, Mr. Lloyd George, Sir Herbert, Mr. Asquith, &c. Mr. William Jones dealt upon the political situ- ation in a most eloquent and lucid manner, and explained in the vernacular the conditions of the battle between the Lords and the People. < A vote of confidence in the Government and in the Member was passed with great enthusiasm, and a vote of condemnation upon the House of Lords was also passed. Mr. Jones on leaving the place received quite an ovation. "CHLOROFORMING THE PEOPLE!" Under the auspices of the newly-formed Liberal Association at the Junction, Mr. Wm. Jones, M.P., addressed a meeting of his constituents on Friday evening, in the new schoolroom of Preswylfa Wes- leyan Chapel. The room was crowded with an enthusiastic audience, amongst whom were the Rev. Philip Price, Rev. William Edwards, the Rev. Henry Jones, the Rev. O. Selwyn Jones, County Councillor Hugh Owen, and the chief Liberals of the neighbourhood. The chair was occupied by Mr. H. W. Hughes, Stanley Stores (President of the local Liberal Association), who praised the faithfulness of their Member, who was a model to others in that respect. He was a Member who always got a re- spectful hearing in the House of Commons, and he was as popular out of the House as he was in it. (Applause). The speaker dealt with the challenge which the Lords had thrown down. The Budget was not thrown out because it was bad, but be- cause it was good—(applause)—and the people of the country would fight until they had achieved the victory. (Applause). He referred to the days of Cromwell, when the House of Commons was bad, and that great man had said to it, In the name of God, go." They must now say in like manner to the Lords, that their veto must go as well. (Applause.) Mr. James Davies moved a vote of confidence in the Government, and one of condemnation of the action of the House of Lords, both of which were couched in strong language. The speaker said he would have been surprised had the people of the country been quiet upon the matter. If the Bud- get was killed there would be a glorious resurrec- tion and there would be another big funeral at the same time. (Laughter.) Mr. H. Rogers Jones seconded and read the reso- lutions which had been proposed by Mr. Davies in Welsh, in the English language. He contended that the present Cabinet comprised the concentra- ted intellect of the nation. (Applause.) And Mr. Lloyd George was the greatest statesman Wales had ever produced. The Lords as a body he des- cribed as irresponsible Johnnie's," and the nos- trum Tariff Reform was only an attempt to chloro- form the people whilst the liberties of the people were being taken from them. Regarding the action of the Lords on the Budget, he was con- fident the country's voice on the matter would be Never again (Applause.) Mr. William Jones in rising to support the reso- lutions was received with prolonged cheering, being unable to proceed for some moments. Noth- ing more important, said he, in the history of the people and the country had occurred than the present crisis. It was the only opportunity in the people's history to give their emphatic opinion, and they must mind they did not lose the oppor- tunity He did not think they would lose. He was still a member for the Arvon Division and would remain one. (Loud applause.) No Govern- ment in the history of the country had done such good work as the present one, and it would have done much more but for the House of Lords. Mr. Jones related what the late Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman had done for South Africa in granting them self-government and peace for ever, and Mr. Asquith had consolidated the work. Under a Tory regime they lost the United States of America, and it was a Liberal Government that sent Lord Dur- ham over to Canada to prevent that dominion going out of our hands through the French Can- adians being at the throats of the English Cana- dians. And so it was with all true Liberalism Trust the People." (Applause.) The Tories had an idea that Imperialism was born and cradled in Birmingham. (Laughter.) Referring to the Chinese Labour question, Mr. Jones said there were 63,000 Chinese labouring on the Rands when the Government came into office. To-day there were only 3,000, for 60,000 of them had been transported to their own couutry. The week before last 1,500 were sent back, and by the second week in January the whole lot would be cleared out. (Loud applause.) Mr. Asquith had reduced the National Debt by £ 47,000,000, thus saving the country CI,250,000 interest per annum. A Voice: The price of a Dreadnought. (Applause.) NO TAX ON FOOD. During ten years of Tory rule, £ 12,000,000 of a tax had been put on the necessaries of life. The Tories always taxed the food of the people, and these twelve millions were new taxes at that. (Shame.) During the Liberal Government's tenure of office, four year's taxes had been reduced by £6,000,000. (Applause.) During the last forty five years no Liberal Government had put an extra tax on food, nor did Mr. Lloyd George intend it in his great Budget. (Loud applause.) They were endeavouring to obtain the power of reducing gradually indirect taxation of food, and placing it upon those who could afford to pay for it. They as Liberals must follow the dictum of Mr. Glad- stone and other statesmen in bringing about a free breakfast table. Referring to the super-tax, he hoped some of them present would qualify for it. (Laughter.) The Government hoped to bring 670,000 paupers who were over 60 years of age and receiving pauper relief under the benefit of the Old Age Pensions Act when it was amended at the end of the next year. (Applause.) Was there any country in the world that could boast such a record as they had ? Who promised the things which the Liberals had done? The Tories pro- mised their three acres and a cow, but no one got even so much as a calf. (Laughter.) From 1895 to 1900, Mr. Chamberlain kept the electors in the realms of promises, although he quite agreed that Mr. Chamberlain had perfectly sincere fits of sin- cerity. He (the speaker) always had said that Chamberlain would tax the people's food, and his son wanted to do the same. In fact some of the promises of the Tories were so grand that one would think the millenium was to be brought about in a night. (Laughter.) Chamberlain had said Old Age Pensions were so simple. Mr. Asquith said they were so simple that the old people got them. (Applause.) And no one now dare stop the old people getting them, either. (Loud applause) They would not get Old Age Pensions by Tariffs at any rate. Mr. Chaplin had called the Act a criminal one. The old sinner! (laughter) Mr Chap- lin was getting his £ 1,200 a year pension He (the speaker) did not begrudge him it, then why should Mr. Chaplin begrudge the old people theirs? (Applause.) The Old Age Pensions benefitted more than the receivers. The money circulated. There were £ 28,000 coming to Carnarvonshire. Continuing, Mr. Jones spoke in detail upon several points of the Budget, how the Lords cried out for Dreadnoughts, how Mr. Lloyd George had said they should have them, and pay for them too; how the invisible German bogey of invasion in the North Sea raised by the Lords previous to the Budget disappeared when the paying for the de- fences was outlined, how a certain London paper had got a Socialist writer to revive the bogey, and how it would fail. The late Lord Randolph Churchill, in a letter to Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, had stated, corcerning a meeting the former was ad- dressing, that the suggestion of taxing the foreigner went down like butter, but for the life of me I don't know how to do it. Lord Randolph Churchill knew it was impossible. He (the speaker) wondered how much Mr Balfour really believed in it. Free Trade did not do all, but they meant to keep it. (Applause). When America had Free Trade it did a' lot of large shipbuilding, but since they have gone in for Protection it had degenerated to coasting steamers. The speaker dealt with the land and other questions in a most lucid manner, and every- one voted Mr Jones' speech one of the very best he has delivered in the Junction, and at its close he was cheered vociferously for some time. The Rev. Henry Jones moved a vote of confi- dence in Mr Jones, and praised the Daily News for its true Liberalism.—Mr Wm. Jones (to Rev. H. Jones): Don't forget the Weekly News," which is now a Liberal paper.—Cheers were given for the papers.—Mr David Morris seconded the vote, and it was carried with acclammation, and upon the proposal of Mr Jones, a vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman.
