REVOLUTIONARY ROWDYISM.

There are extremists, if not directly atliated with Socialism, at any rate acting as a tail, who seem determined to suppress free speeth in Britain, as the Bolshevists have done in Russia. Thes are conducting a campaign of organised hooliganism in various constituencies throughout the country, particularly where Socialist seats are being contest ed. They are resolved apparently to pre vent the other side from getting a fair hearing, or, indeed, noy bearing at all The Clyde area, which has attained an unenviable reputation for revolutionary manifestations, is the centre of the 17 The "wild men trouble in Scotland. from Glasgow who sat in the late Parlia ment as representatives of the extreize brand of Socialism, set a bad example to their followers.

What, perhaps, Scotland. will be of more interest to the render is to tell how the P.M. struck the average Glasgow men. The impression was that, of all the leading politicians who have spoken in the City, none have been so jaunty as this genial, little man who has et out to storm the citidel of Free Trade. His manner, indeed, seemed to surprise his friendly audience. He was somewhat nervous at the start, he punc tuated the chairman's remarks by tearing apart the typescript of his manuscript Hle dances a little, too, as he firca off his deliberately slow and audible sen- tences. He reads, but not slavishly, and can go on without his MS: for minutes at a time. One would class him as a polished essayist who can read his stuff effectively. His hands are of no use to him; they never jut out towards the ris ing sun or the mountain tops, or any other rhetorical vision: they just drop from the deak occasionally to the side scam of the trousers, and periodically come to rest on the bipa As he warms up they are used to tap the table to emphasise points.
