Monmouthshire County Council Election, MARCH 7TH, 1910. To THE ELECTORS OP THE SIRHOWY WARD. LADIES AND GKNTLBMEN, At the urgent request of a large number of influential Ratepayers of the Ward, I have the greatest pleasure in placing my services at your disposal to represent you on the County Council. I do this with the greatest confidence, for, having resided amongst you for upwards of 32 year?, I am no stranger to you, but oue of your- selves, knowing your needs and desires, and being in full sympathy with your aspirations. In addition to this personal and intimate knowledge of the people of the Ward, I claim that my past record is ample justification for seeking your support. I have bad the honour of representing you on the Bedwelity Board of Guardians for 21 years on the Tredegar District Council for 16 years and on the County Council for 9 nine years; This is a record any man might be proud of, and it is in no spirit of boasting that I say that my conscience is clear that I have faithfully and honourably carried out the trust you reposed in me. My record as a Member of the County Council will bear the minutest inspection. Durinar the nine yeal1 you honoured me with vour confidence I laboured unceasingly to secure for the District a fair and equitable share of the grants disbursed by the Council. An an instance of this, I might mention that f successfully advocated an increase in t),e grants tnwjuds the main roads of the town from £i5 to £100 per mile per annum. I was also instrumental in inducing the County Council to ray L20 per mile per annum towards the reads which are nr-t main roads. No grants were pre- viously rlficf for these roods. Those additional grants have I)e-r, a tremendous relief to tho local rates, and plfc is felt by everyone directly or indirectly. I may also mention that through my advocacy the County Council were induced (,1) pay some hundreds of pound8 towards the roarla n, the Dia- trict, which sum, although due, had been over- lookod. ThE>e are only a few instances out of many which, show that I Wl\ always alive to the very highest interests of the Ratepayers. Being one of the heaviest Ratepayers in the Ward, 1 naturally do vhat T can in securing Economy, tj wiiilfi at the sp.aie time I stand for Efficiency. It is of the utmost importance that your Reprt- sentative should bo vigilant and untiring in fight- ing for justice for his constituency. Huge sum!, are paid every year into the County Council coffers in ratfi.», and it would always be my endeavour to see that the District receives adequate returns for its contributions towards the rate". I appeal to you for your support on the fol- lowing grounds:— 1.-I have served you faithfully on public bodies for over 20 years. 2.—I am 01 e of yourselves. 3.—I am in sympathetic touch with everything "diming to the welfare of the Ward and Town generally. ♦.—My wide experience in public matters qualifies tne for the position. Should you honour me with your confidence, if will be my constant endeavour te look after your interests unselfishly as I have done for many yfears. I am, your faithful Servant. THOMAS LEWIS.

I want to impress upon you that we, ae Pro- gressive, bad only 16 of a majority over the Con- servatives in the last County Council so you eee how important it is to secure every possible seat in this Election. The Prpgrtwsi ves look to Ebbw Vale and the other industrial centres for these Progressive members. 'Many parts of the Ciunty of Mon- mouth are Conservative, and undoubtedly will return Conservative members in this Election. Ebbw Vale, from the formation of the County Council, has always been loyal to the Liberal cause; not once has a Conservative been returned. I hope that you, as Electors, will remain faithful to our past- tradition in supporting the Liberal cause, and by so doing be loyal and true to the Progressive Party in the House of Commons, and the Riaht Hon.

My experience, trained on the District Council and the various Educational Authorities during the last 20 years, will, it is respectfully sub- mitted, be invaluable in assisting me to discharge the duties of County Councillor. I fully appre- ciate the onerous duties involved, and the sacri- fice of time that has to be made; but, realising how this district (one of the most important) should be regularly represented on the County Council, am prepared to devote the time necessary for the due performance of its duties.

LADIES AND GENTLKMKK, I have again been requested by a number of Electors to become a Candidate for election to the County Council. I have lived in the Pariph of Gellygaer for a considerable number of years, and can reasonably claim to be thoroughly well acquainted with tho characteristics and needs of the district. In my business as a Sinker and Mining Contractor I am in close and continual touch with the Coal In- dustry. The prosperity of the district and of every .inhabitant of it I, therefore, my most ernest wish, and my best efforts are at all times directed to the maintenance and advancement of that prosperity in every way. In Education I am in favour of a forward policy. I support the provision of ample School Accommodation for giving a sound and practical education to all children on equal terms but I am opposed to the extravagance sometimes shewn in the high salaries paid to officials, and the excessive embellishment of public buildings. As a Member of tbo Gellygaer Urban District Council I opposed the recent Water Board Scheme, as I considered the special interests of Gellygaer were not fairly treated. If that Scheme should again be promoted I would still oppose it, unless I found that our particular local interests were properly dealt with and safeguarded. I am of opinion that the control of the Edu- cational Affairs of our own district should be in the handes of the District Council, who are natur- ally best acquainted with our looal needs, and if elected I will do my utmost to bring this about. Owing to the recent and prospective great increase in the population and traffic of the dis- trict, the maintenance of existing highways and the construction of new main roads are questions of vital interest to the Ratepayers; and it will always hi one of my first duties to see that a r<»asonab)e share of the expenditure on these mat- ters shall be borne by the county funds. My motto is always "EFFICIENCY WITH ECONOMY." All expenditure on Education or other purposes would have my close attention, with the view of preventing waste or extravagance in any form. Sbonld you ilo me the honour of choosing me as your Representative, your interests would at all times be served to the fullest extent of my power. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, I WILLIAM B. LLOYD. Bargoed, 28th February, 1910. ¡ Glamorgan County Council. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PONTLOTTYN DIVISION. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Having been approached by the Labour Party of the Tirphil District to stand as a Candidate in the above Election, I ungrudgingly offer you my services. This was accepted unanimously at a representative Meeting on the 24th February, 1910. My only desire is to further the interests and welfare of the Electors, irrespective of creed or politics, and in appealing to you for support, I assure you that no effort will be lacking on my part to improve the wretched state of our Roads by getting them created Main Roads, and by any other means possible. The County Council play an important part in educational matters, and if elected, nothing should be wanting on my part to improve the existing condition of things, and the total abolition of Iron Buildings as temporary Schools, which involves a large waste of money, and places the children at considerable disadvantage for learning, as well as great (inks to their health. I am in favour of the Schools being controlled absolutely by ths Representatives of the People of 'Gellygaer, and would do my utmost to break down Ithe monopoly now held by the County Council. «w.c?a! ^PPort any measure for the abolition of Religious Teste for Teachers. A very largo ram of money is being drained from this Pamh eveey year. fer which there is no corresponding benefit. I shall at all times support every measure of Progressive Reform} ana would strenuously advooate principles for securing the greatest good to the greatest number. My political views areX&dependeci and as such I would vote witboot fa* or favour. I am a strong advocate of the Labour Movement, Small Holdings far the People, the Better Housing of the Working Classes, and the Pro- viding of a Pare and a more efficient supply of Water, would receive my heartiest support. I beR to remain. Your obedient Servant, JOHN EVAN JONES. Dynevor Arms Hotel, Tirphil, February 28th, 1910. Glamorgan County Council Election, 1910. I BARGOED ELECTORAL D^pSION.
