CARNARVON BOROUGHS CONTEST. CONWAY WOMEN UNIONISTS. NEWCLU8 OPENED. ELOQUENT A.DDRESSES BY THE HON. MRS LLOYD MOSTYN AND MR VINCENT. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING. A varjBpromiaing branch of the Women Unionist and Tariff Reform Association waa inaugurated at Conway, on Monday after- noon under most favourable circumstajtoea. The Local Committee haw been fortunate in securing as t,.h{>.iIT president the Hon. Mrs H. Lloyd Mostyn, whose untaxing efforts on be- hall of the Constitutional cause are so well- known throughout the oounty. She is ay assisted by Mrs A. R. Cross, as the eaiergatac secretary, whilst the ladies, having implicit confidence in Councrilkw A. G. Rogers, ap- pointed him treasurer of the new branch, which is g-overaod by an influential oomnuttee of ladies, consisting of Mias Duititon, Mrs Por- ter, Mrs Sever, Mrs Hunter, Miss Lloyd, and Mrs Mackena. The committee bavefurniahed in a taatefni wannor a commodious room above the Com- way Constitutional Club, which will serve as a olubroom for the members of the branch. Quit j a large number of ladies have already become members of the new dub, and on the opening day Mrs Porter succeeded in mrol- ling severed new members. THE OPENING CEREMONY. The olub was formally opened on Monday afternoon by the Hon. Mrs Mosfyn, in tihe presence of a large and representative gather- iaig, among whom we noticed Mr Vincent (Unionist candidate for the Carnarvon Boroughs), who was accompanied by Mrs Vinoont; Dr. Pricfaard, J.P. (ahairman of the Carnarvonshire County Council), Cousnoilflor and Mrs James Porter, Alderman and Mrs W. M. Sever, the Vioar of Conway and Mrs Roberts, Dr. OawtSiorne, the Rev. and Mrs Jones (Llangelynin), Mies Duttom, Mrs Mackcna, Mrs Hunter, Miss Lloyd, Mrs A. R. Gross, Mrs Jones (Gyffin Rectory), Mr and M.rs Haye, Mrs and Miss Kirby, Mrs aaid Miss Richards, Mrs and Mias Eakin (LAandudno), Mrs and Miss Jones (Deganwy), Miss Johnson (Colwyn Bay), Mrs Meyer, Miss Julia Simp- son, Mrs Thomas, the Misses Hale, Mr R. O. Pritchard, etc. COUNCILLOR JAMES PORTER, who pre- nidod over the opening oeremony, said that it would be an impcriineiioc on his part to to introduoe the Hon. Mrs Moatyn to a Conway audience, as she was so woil- known throughout the district (hear, hear). It was, however, his groat privilege to oaU uPon Mra Mostyn to declare the club open (applause). The objects of the new olub was to provide a central meeting place for ladies attached to the Constitutional party (hear, hear). It had been felt for some time that when ladies came te Conway there was not a proper place wharc they could meet and inter- change views. In the heat and struggle of the elections, both Parliamentary and Muni- cipal, male members of the Constitutional Club had to call for the assistance of the ladies to help them in the fight, but hitherto, they had no comfortable plaoe to offer them, there they could rest or interchange ideas and canvass books. But the room they were opening that day would supply the long-felt want (applause). In these days of Suffrag- ettes, militant and otherwise—(Laughter),—ihe would not dare to suggest other than that the management of the new olub should be carried on by the ladies themselves (laughter d applause). He had great pleasure in oall- Lng upon Mrs Mostyn to declare the olub open, which, he trusted, would prove a IMlt- Wlg benefit to the Constitutional cause in the Octant borough of Conway (applause). RADICAL TACTICS CRITICISED. THE RON. MRS MOSTYN'S STRIKING ADDRESS. The HON. MRS H. LLOYD MOSTYN, who 1Vas oordially received, said: -1 feel much honoured at being asked to open the Ladies' Constitutional Club in Conwiay to-day, and Specially a.t such a moment, as I hope it do good work before this most roomen,t- General Election takes place (hear, hear), "orsonally, I hope to see the movement de- velop, and' the outoome of our gathering to- day the formation of a strong branch of the "omen Unionist and Tariff Reform Associa- tion (applause). I only turn this out as a suggestIon, as I do not know what the wishes are of the leaders of the party in the oounty of the Executive Committee, but I know tshis Association does excellent work which 1.S primarily educational, and to my mind, quiet, steady, and systematic work in oou- cating the voter in the one and only way of showing him that his shibboleths are out-of-date. and what his responsibilities are- *8 a citiswn of our great Empire (cheers). The voter falls too easily a victim to false reasoning. Wilful misrepresentation intend- ed to throw dust in has eyes, and to ob- acure the real faots a.t issue. We saw that at Carnarvon, the other day, when organised disturbance prevented the speaker from being heard, and a large aeotion showed they would po-t listen to argumon<t« on the other sid/e. How weak a person must be who cannot face f^gument or brook oontradiotion. We see also by the questions asked at public moett- J.D. how easily these terminological inexacti- tudes are swaillowed—-not surprising wihan they have been uttered by Ministers of the Crown. The Old-age Pension lie was, fortun- ately knocked on the head, but the other is told that under » Unionist Govearmont tli-at five shillings pension will not go as as "vnder the pre- sent one, whereas w ftnow that taxation Would be so adjusted that the workingmaji Would pay no more than a.t present for the ^eeeeaaries of life, a.nd tha.t with more em- ployment he would have more in his pockots ■and increased spending power. Than, again, the voter is given to understand that life Ln protectionist country is far harder than in t Britain. Statistics toLl us this is not the oaae, but we are deeply grateful to our candidate, who is lier» with us to-day. Mr Vin.camt is most gallantly championing our and a bettor one we cannot have. On behalf of us all I thank him for his presence, t will eaioourage us Bill to do our beet to Work for our cause (aheors). And wihat a cause we have. Whem before aay General flection were so momentous issues a.t stake? •We belong to the party of Construction, and 'tot Destruction—we work for the unity of the Empire and the strengthening of its ties (applause). The Liberal Party would destroy the veto of the Second Chamber, they would destroy the union of Great Britain and Ire- land. We must fight to keep that union, \97h,h was brought about in the past, and J^hicli, by a large majority, When brought ore the electors, was declared to be vital to the Empire. The Liberal Party would dis- establish and disendow the Church in Wales 7~~the Mother Chiwoh of the British Isles. As Bishop of London tells us: "The disen- owment of the Welsh Church is an act of granny and injustice to a poor but progres- 8.Ively action a.nd successful Church." It is Dot threatened because it is moribund or de- ent, but because it is progressively ac- tive. Then, again, they would do away with denominational teaching im our scihools, for- gettidig the great work done in this oountry Churchmen for the eduoation of its sons the Staste woke to its responsibilities. |We as mothers be-Lieve firmly as oft said that «he maintenance of any religious teaching "Which is wortch the aanne is bound up with the Continued existemoe of denominational schools :V°hee.rs). With Tariff Reform in the forefront of our programme we work for the development our Imperial resources and for the closer ^ion of the Empire in the future (cheers). •Wiifchout confidence in the Government we have no feeling of security. In the approach- ing election are we not also figihting possibly *or our hearths and homes. On the continued of our Naval supremacy depends "he security and very existence of our Em- pire. The First Lord of the Admiralty tolls US need not be alarmed, that we can sleop quietly in our beds vvitihout feair of invasion, but what has been done sinoe the rude awak- cning spring, wihen the Government owned that they had been caught napping, d they announced that we had fallen be- hmd a great and powerful oountry, whl ili is rapidly building a great Navy, ovartakiag nn IAn the building of ships, and unlike Gicmt ontann it is not an island Powor. Ihe atii- tude of the present Government rcmvnds one of the old nursery rhyme: "You have v/aked us too soon; I muat lilIumber (lauffh- tez- and cheers). As a woman of the Empire, I ask again yriioto did a party ever have suoh a great and glorious oause to fight for, and it is with the conviction that the wo n m of t'onwaiy are awake to tt, and will do all in their power to iWork for it. tha.t I now deoivre the Constitutional Club :.a COJW.JV to lie open fend with it every success applause*. MR HUGH C. VINCENT, who was accord- ed an enthusiastic reoeption, said it afforded him much pleasure to propose a vote of tha.nks to tie Hon. Mrs Mostyn for having opened the new club, and for the very clover and convincing address she had just defliver- ed (applause). He always knew that they iefy upon the MostyiB family to assist » any worthy object (applause). With re- ffard to the new ohib, he did not think tilers ever was a club opened undoet such opportune circumstances as the one which had iui& declared open by Mrs Mostyn, and he ain- oerely hoped that its influenoe would be brought to bear on the result of the oomdng election (appflauae). There were many ways in which the ladies could assist the organ- isers of the campaign. The old-age pension lie had been proved to be a perfect fabnksar tion, but when a Lie was given a little start it sometimes travelled a long way before it could be overtaken, and they wanted to dheck its progress (hear, hear). At Bangor tihey had done that by adopting a system of issu- had done that by adopting a system of issu- ing circulars. On the day the pensioners rooeived tihear pension, a aumber of ladies weire stationed outside the Post Offices, and to everyone who looked over sixty they handed one of the circulars, refuting the old- a.ge pension lie (hear, hear). That was one way in which the ladnes of Conway oouild assist him in his campaign (hear, hear). The only possible chance of winning the election, and he meant winning—(loud applanse)—was by hard work, solid work, amd sacrifice (ap- plause). Another way in which the ladies oould materially assist was by cross-oanvass- dng doubtfuil voters, and by working in loyal oo-operation with the central organisation. If they did thut, he should feel thankful for the dtay the ladies' club was opened at Con- wa.y (hear, hear). He trusted that the time- ly and edoquemit worda with which Mrs Mos- tyn had opened the dlub would have the de- sired effect upon the ladies of the djfltrict (ap- plause). DR. PRICHARD, in seconding the vote of tiWJfg said that tthey all felt highly edi- fied by Mrs Mostyn's address (appLause). JdR SAM. THOMPSON, Unionist, Candidate for West Denbighshire. They had to work hard in order to refute the untruths circulated by their opponents, and it behoved them to pull together to refute those untruths (applause). With regard to old-a.,ac pensions, he said that not a single Conservative member voted against the pen- scons (hear, hear). The RadicaJ cry was, "Don't tax food," but they did not tell the people that they themselves were the biggest taxers (applause). Alii present wore afterwards entertained to tea. in the large badil of tihe olub. Three hearty cheers were given for MT and Mars Vincent before they left.

The plain fact WAS tbt the Tory Governmoat for twni years potou 12 millicaiB of now taxes on the necessaries of lite while the Liberal Government, in four years- bad reduced those taxes by four milkoas— (cheers)—taking off the ooai duty, reducing -ho eu.g.a.r ta.x, atJo.. wb!meaa ttleir oppooe.ntø led tbom to believe thai the Government bad been putting On now tajoea.

To deal with unemploy- nmnt Mr Lloyd George had made important provisions. Nearly £200.000 lid been gjvon to .t up labour exchangtes thTOugihout the lengtn and breadth of the Land, and in Wales a. WNb man had juat been a.piioiiirt>ed to superintend He work. No one measure would settle utnemploy- ment; tihe Tory leaders never boast,ad of ihci, though tariff mongers, penny pamp hlets, and haif-penny tracts proclaimed that sort of quite ope-alf. rJ he labour exchanges woiwd reguUto. the labour markets and decasualise Ubaiw (applause). He had alreody seen them at work and was saitisfied that they would help very materially to reiieve unemployment (cheers). In addition to old1 age [>eJisaom at the back end of life there would be oomipensaition for acoi- dento to workunen; and next year the Board oi Tirade would bring into force an insuraiaoe scheme to deal watih sicfcraeaB, infirmity.

THE ARVON DIVISION.
THE ARVON DIVISION. THE PEKMAEttMAWR MEETING. SPEECHES BY COLONEL DARBISHIRE, MR WILLIAM JONES. M.P., AND PROFESSOR H. JONES. Simultaaeoualy with the mooting at Con- wiay another meeting was held at the Drill Hall, PenmaemmawT, Professor Henry Jones and Mr William Jones, M.P., exclianging platforms, and speaking alternately at both places. There was a largeabtelndanoe. over which Colonel Darbishire presided. The CHAIRMAN explained at the outset that the meeting was held in the Drill Hall by kind permission of Captain Jenkins, the Oxford Hall, the venue tor most political meeitings, being in tlie hands of an industrious little band, who were preparing it for an entertainment in aid of the local Nursing In- stitutions funds, the object of which he cordially commended to the audience (liear, hear). Proceeding, Colonci Darbishire said tihey were there to discuss a very import- ant matter affecting the Sta.te; indeed, the moat momentous question that had arisen since most of them had taken interest in politioal affairs, for, stripped of aH its side issues, the matter which the electorate had now the oppocrtunoty of making up ilts mind upon waa simply—whether the country was to be governed by a House of Parliametat SIR J- HERBERT ROBERTS. M P. responsible to the people it governed, and one irresponsible to the people, or not. Do not, ho continued, lot. us bobhar our heads a.bout whether the Licensing Bill was a good one and calculated to promote temperance a.nd reduce lunacy and crime, or not; or whether the Education Bill would, if carried imto effect, advance the interests of our ch I'drpm, and prepare them for becoming more s?,lf-reliant, and worthier citizens; or whether public opinion in Wales is sti'J sodid for the Disestablishment of the English Church; or whebhor Land Values are to be taxed, etc. That all these benevolent measures are denied to us is ontly the effect of what the country, a.s a whole, has allowed to go on so long. The cause of our not having crajoyed the benefits these measures would have giv?.n us is that the electorate has 1)(00.1. eontcnt to suffer a.n irresponsible House of Lords, drawn from a comparatively sma^'l section of the community, to have the absolute power of vetoing what the people have decided is of the greatest importance to their wu!fa.ro and well-being. It is almost too much for poor human nature, constituted as" i)t is, to resist the temptation of exorcising such a veto when it believes that public and private int-arosts are being assailed, especially when private int?re<sts predominate. Lot not thoi'r attention be diverted from the groat question a,t issue; bacause, if o.nly the "oause" of the failure of Liberal measures becoming the law of the land was removed, "all those things ahr.l be given unto you" (laughter and cheers). Speaking of how the opportunity of removing tthc "cause" has come about, he sa:d that in 1006 a Lihwal majority was returned to tlie House of (crji- raons larger than had ever been returned be- fore, due, he suggested, to the greater iin- tctlligeimce and greater foresight of the nation; but, very soon, the great Lord Guillotine bp- came vary much in evidcmoe, and the poor little Liberal Bills had their heads chopped off one after another, tiM at last the Right Hon. David LLoyd George—(cheers)—sub- mitted his great Democratic Budget to meet the expenses of the oountry, and asked for some little increase in contri-butiion from those best able to meet the ever-ine.roafliiig expenditure, and, after every detail had bean discussed for many months, and concessions had be-en made here and ther3 to interests that were revilly desarving of consideration, down came the Guillotine's knife, and the poor Bill was murdered; and at once the people and the Lords were a,t issue on how the money was to be provided for carrying on public business. And the issue had to be settled. There were as it were TWO OPPOSING FORCES STRUGGLING for mastery. One force maintained that it had a constitutional right to decide how the money required was to be raised, and woe de- termined to maintained that right. The other force said, "No. You have allowed us to deoide, without question, for so many years which of your wishes shall be made law of, that, now, when we think you suggest dip- ping your fingers into our money-bags a little further than we consider desi'rabJe for the country's good, we will once more ex- ercise the veto you have sat so timely under; and we will force you to appeal to the electorate—youT masters and our masit^-s—to say whether you are right or whether we are right" (hear, hear). The position reminded him of wthat one chicken said to the other. An odd respectable hon had a ruico brood of' chickens, one of which developed iIltto such a fine bird that it was sent on to a Poultry Show a.t Birmingham. Whetn it returned its brotlbare and sisters thronged around it to learn its experiences, and give home news in return. "Oh; do you know," said one, "since you have been away mother has been ill again, and this time its 'Ducklings?' "What," said the other, "Ducklings! What- ever does father say ?" (loud laugfttar). That wes just their position. They wanted to know, not exactly what father said, but what the electorate would say early next month. In commenting the candidature of Mr Wil- Liam Jones, the Chairman said, in con- clusion, they should be encouraged to pursue the path the Liberals of Pen-ma-enmawr had always followed, so that they might, by doing their little best to send back Mr William Jones to the now Parliament, help to main- tain the standard of freedom and liberty that William Ewart Gladstone lived to up- hold in their midst (loud applause). SPEECH BY PROFESSOR H. JONES. PROFESSOR HENRY JONES, who fol- lowed, was accorded an enthusiastic reoeption. Referring at the commencement to the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the Bud- get, he said they had bean ruled too long by "this body of tyrants" (hear, hear). And personally, he believed that if democracy triumphed in this great fight, they would be much better governed. The speaker dealt at length with the two policies of Tariff Re- form and Free Trade. Tariff Reformers oon- tcaided that their fiscal policy would remove the great curse of unemployment. Thev all admnttod that there was no more seriious question than this. It was one of the most pathetic sights they wore called upon to wit- ness to see a man-an honest and industrious workman unable to procure the labour which he required (hear, hear). The Con- serva-tivea contended that even if bread was dearer by two or three shillings per quarter, tihane would be more money to pay for it. "Be<bteT," they said, "have dearer bread than cheaper bread with no money How much truth was there in those promises? No land had ever been emriohened by the shutting up of the market. There were only two ways of making a country richetr; one by im- proving the condirtioffis under which the people worked by discovering some unsus- pected wealth in the Land, the other to uplift the people in order to make thorn better fitted to make use of their opporfcimi- tdieB (hoax, hear). Undar Protection, foreign artriaka would be able to come into this country just the aame, amd they would be sodd at a dearer. price than now. Foreign competition was like the sun, which was every day pouring iits light into this world with- out paying a tariff. What if they shut out the sunlight. It would benefit the eleotriaity manufacturers and candle makers, colliers, and others, but it would be the greatest oadamity to the rest of humanity (applause). The same kind of thing would resudt if they shut up the market (hem, beax). The apeakeT referred to the vastness and greatness of the British Empire. How was it, he asked, tha.t they were so superior to othor nations? How was it that the British markeit was better than the German market, to the tune of some four hundred million pounds, whan the population of the British Isles was only forty-five mdldions agakist the sixty millions of Germany. It was because they had, in the first place, a fa.r greater measure of I politioad freedom (cheers). But their liberty of self-go vornmemt was just now being threatened ("Shame!"). He hoped that, every man would, whon the time oame, bring his consoiemoe to bear upon this question be- fore he voted, for he wished thorn to ramota- bor that they oouJd not do wrong in this matter without wounding their country to the (cheeirs). He concluded by appealing to them to treat the question as men, rationally, and to vote straight Like true and brave sons of Wales (loud applause). Dr. Jomes left the building to proceed to Conway, amidst a scone of much enthusiasm. A resolution of confidence in tlie Goveaii- mccit and in the looal member was put by the CHAIRMAN, and seconded by the REY. JOHN ROWLANDS, and wheat the latter re- sumed his seat theire was still no sign of Mr Willmm Jones, who was to motor over from Conway. COLONElj DARBISHIRE provoked roajrs of laughter with the remark, "I hope the motor car has not taken the same oourse as that of Miss Cha.It.:worth." The CHAIRMAN than put the resolution to tlhe meeting, and it was canried with oeie disecmiticnt. When MR WILLIAM JONES arrived he was heartily oheorod. The hom. member dwoLt a.t considerable lengtJ1 upon bhe policy of the Government, their work during thoLr torm of offioe, and their detentions for the future. The REV. DEWI WILLIAMS also spoke. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman (Colonel Darbishire), on the motion of MR WILLIAM JONES seconded by the Rev. D. P. DAVIES. ?

SELWYN JONES, the following resolution was declared carried unanimously: "Thgyt this meeting Ie- sinaj tJo record irtnhoart.ioot appreciation <>.f tbe noble services rendered to Liberalism in and out of the House of Commons; by Right Hon.

JONES ON THE LORDS' ACTION. PROFESSOR HENRY JONES, of Glasgow, who had just motored from Psnmaenma.wr where he had beon speaking in support of Mr Wm. Jones* candidature, was enthusiastically cheered wheal he rooe to Hpeak. He said that was tre sixth or eigihth time for him to appear on a potljtrical pliaitiform. His work by in another sphere ordinari^. but these were extraordinary days—(<applauoe)—and he febt thait the issues now beforo the oouutry were IJf 8uch ovorwlielminj* iami>ortanioe that he could not resist offering to Jo what little he could, on behalf of the men who ho conscientiously believed were on tho right sido in the ba.ttle (loud applause). How- ever, he had imerely promised three speeches, but as uswal, Mr Lloyd Gorge had conquered by moajis of his eloquence and the three had already grown into three times three and there were yet others to be faced (laughter and ap- pkiuio). The circumstances were quite unique; the Tory party had developed into a revolution- ary party. Rag.htf/ or wrongly they had made two new departures from usage, both at them having to do with the fundaincoteJ principles of national welfare (hear, boar). OixJmarily a. revo- lution took place to realise some ideal; some- thing that had nevor existed before. Tho ideal at the French revolution was in many t as- pects a. splendid on.e-lri.b2-rty, equality and frater- nity. liuit the present revolution made for no ideal; Jot Ullo.d.eo for 1cllvg'm:1>i.on towards some- tihå.ng that had in the past boon tried and found wanting (cheers).

(cries of "No"). Their aotions belied them. They were doipg their best to drive the people to vobe to the paraxial advantage of tihe Ixirdls (hea-r, hear). ITaeusual wbes of thanks wore ptaoed I)ot the
