BOROUGHS BY-ELECTION
BOROUGHS BY-ELECTION With the arrival and the fixing of the days of nomination and polling, as we go to press, the real contest as between party and party has burst upon the constituency in all its fulness and to-night the first public meetings take place, at Flint and Mold. Until last night the Radicals were very busily engaged in deciding their own election and the task proved a formidable one. Out of nearly a score of mentioned men, the various districts selected five for the executive to deal with, but it was known that the issue rested between Mr Max Muspratt and Mr T. Parry. The executive sat from 3.45 until 6.15 before ultimately Mr Parry was finally chosen and though Mr Muspratt withdrew and was not voted upon, it is pretty certain that he only did so because he realised the serious nature of Mold's demand for Mr Parry's adoption. But the Radicals at Flint, Bagillt and Holywell do not like it at all; some of them bitterly resent it. Mr Muspratt could have had a sound majority at the meeting, so we are assured, and presumably he would have accepted the candidature had the call" been unanimous. -Anyhow, he came to Flint and addressed the meeting before intima- ting that he would withdraw. But perhaps he was not very keen on the job, really be probably recalls how the Radicals refused to have his father, Mr E. K. Muspratt, a few decades ago, selecting instead a total stranger. And that was when* Muspratt's works were, as one might put it, the gold mine of Flint- It has been a pretty scramble for the outsider to watch, and Unionists have been exceed- ingly amused to follow the development of the comedy. Apparently with a view to hiding their own troubles, a Liberal evening newspaper "was informed" on Tuesday that the Unionists were not unanimous in their selection of Mr Hamlet Roberts. A more unfounded assertion was never made. One thing is very peculiar about the personalities of the two can- didates who will fight this by-election. Both are in the early thirties, both are sons of Calvinistic Methodists, both are barristers-or soon will be, both are lieutenants in the Territorial Force, both have had Welsh college education, and both are fluent Welsh speakers. And this reminds us that \1"0 believe Mr Parry is the only "Calvin in the 5th Battalion. It may be noticed we have more or less taken it for granted, in the foregoing remarks, that only two candidates will go to the poll. That is because it appears certain Mr Clement Edwards has succeeded in bouncing the local Trades Unionists out of any intention they may have had of supporting the introduction of a Labour candidate. He is the special envoy of the Liberal party engaged to bamboozle the trades unionists. But workingmen are learning something daily. They have learned, more than anything else, that the free breakfast table promised at the last three general elections was the most atroci- ous fraud ever perpetrated that it costs half as much again to live to-day as it did seven years ago, and that the increase can be mainly laid at the doors of Lloyd George and his satellites. They know they now have to pay millions of pounds a year in salaries to officials appointed within the last few years who have nothing better to do than harass the taxpayer and conduct inquisitions into the private lives of the people that they have to pay thousands of pounds a week for the printing of cir- culars and forms which have followed Acts inflicted upon a people who never wanted them. They know they have to pay a direct tax, ostensibly for insurance, but without any knowledge of what the return is to be or whether, indeed, there is to be any return at all. The Radicals are already again shouting No Food Tax. The people now know that the Unionists under- take not to add any tax on food in any way until after two general elections. But the great question around which the election really centres is that of the spolia- tion of the Established Church. Jealousy, hatred, malice and covetousness are the prompting forces of the despoilers who seek to pillage: the Church in Wales by robbing her of what belongs to her legally and morally, both in influence and kind. Take only Flint as an example. Here, the Rector is as the fairy godfather to every child and poor person in the borough ir- respective of creed or party. If the Welsh Church Bill passes-and it is due to pass from the House of Commons to the House of Lords on February 12th next-then practically the wliole of the income of the Parish Church of Flint would cease. There ace three Churches besides the Parish Church, and three curates assisting the rector. The regular income of the church is not large by any means, and nowhere near meets the expenditure. Take away that income and you would smash the Mother Church, which is so dear to the hearts of 75 per cent of Flintpeople,no mat- ter what their religton. We do not believe that the majority of people in the Flint boroughs want to see the Church crippled; we refuse to believe that the bulk of the electors are so far removed from a sense of justice and fairplay as to desire to extin- guish the work and influence of a Church which is growing every year in usefulness, and which has not failed in its trust. In this fight in the boroughs, which arises at the moment when the House of Commons is nearing the end of its discussions on the Bill, we believe Churchmen will be suppor- ted by all lovers of justice and that the message from Flint to Westminster will be an emphatic Hands off the Mother Church."
