SCOTTISH LETTER. THE GENERAL ELECTION.

SUCCESS OF THE PÄCT,”

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ]

PRIME MINISTER'S KOTOR CAMPAIGN.

The spectacular motor tour of the Prime Minister through Scotland, and thth Southwards to his constituency in England was not a success. Tha pracy tical effect of such expéditions is very mall "Mr. MacDonald, also, exposed a EDINBURGH, October 22nd:

The City returns will realise that the advantage from such expenditure of effort is hardly worth 15 members; the Conservatives have while, and that much more would be gain- nominated, 13 and the Liberals 2 candied by giving the recognised leaders more dates, not a split Constitutionalist vote time for constructive effort.

The other outstanding feature in the election is the diminution of Liberal candidates. Only Di Eave come forward as against 61 at last election. What a change from the not far off years when Liberalism used to sweep the North Country from the Tweed to the Peatland

not so much to the system but to the speaker's failure to adapt himself to its requirements. He chose to have his speech broadcasted from a public meeting, and he was so eager to go down with the audience he saw in front of him that he forgot all about the much larger audience behind the microphone. Besides, the de clamatory style which he has recently developed, bis striving for stage effects by raising and lowering his voice melo dramatically, and his fondness for pacing In several constituencies it was found up and down the platform, defeated a impossible to work "the pact."

*** THE LATE."'!

Firth!

JAMIE KROON. LORD HIGH COMMISSIONER.

A most peculiar incident in the election is the cold and uncharitable spirit shown by the Socialists in the mining villages of South Ayrshire. The trouble all arises out of Mr. James Brown, their former Labour member. acting as the King's Lord High Commissioner to the Church of Scotland General Assembly. I will be recalled that Mr. Brown ac quitted himself with distinction and dig nity in this high office, and no one had a word to say against him. What seems to rankle, however, is that Mr. Brown enter ed completely into the part he had to play decked himself out in scries and gold, lavished salutes, and, worse than all went off in a motor-car. ** And all this,"" as one old miner put it, "at a time when some of the men were going off to the pits with water in their cans because they couldn't afford any tea." Essentially the grievance against Mr. Brown is a sar torial long, but if it is not a deep grier- ane, it is widespread "immie Broon's no sa popular since he went off in his motor-ear." The theory underlying most of the remarks about Mr. Brown is that a man cannot be a Lord High Commis sioner one day and be a workman among workmen again the next. He kind o went out of his class," it is said.

A RED HERRING.

One contest may be picked out from among the many as quite unique, that in East Aberdeen. There the political path is strewn with herringa Bat the herring in the path is not irrelevant. It is the vital product around which the electoral battle of the Russian Treaty is being 'fought. Socialism sees an opportunity for winning the vote of the Esherman on this sole issue, and has, for the first time in the bistory of the constituency, put | forward a candidate. The lamentable state of the herring industry and its vital consequences to the conatal popu lation account no doubt for a pardon- able predilection on the part of the voters to regard the Russian Treaty an an infallible panacea. Any suggestion of¡ the country having a right to consider carefully the financial consequences is re- garded by the Aberdeen Socialist in somewhat the same light as that in which the impecunious young author looked at a proof on which wha written, “The cost of corrigenda will be deducted from honoraria, and justly exclaimed-What fine language for so base an economy.' FA CHRISTIAN SOCIALIST..

One of the most interesting contests in Scotland is in Steelopolis, Motherwell, which in 1922 gained the unenviable dis Etinetion of having returned the first Com

munist to the House of Commons. On minority rote. Mr. Newbold then snatch- ed the representation. Mr. Newbold was defeated at the last General Election, and he Rev. James Barr, has now come-for- ward. Mr. Barr,, who would be the firs to disclaim any belief in or sympathy with the principles of Communism, is, judging! from the questions which are being put to him, fading it difficult to carry the hery arose with any degree of dignity or effect Communist and Socialist who not so long ago cheered to the scho specches tainted with Moscow idealism are not carried away by enthusiasm when a gen. tleman of the United Free Church of Scotland discoursca eloquently on the beauty of Christian Bocinliam and the brotherhood of man. He is a good speak. er with a ready wit. For years he has been a prominent figure on Socialist platforms, and is to-day recognised as one of the lenders in that movement. He is also well-known as a strong temperance reformer and prohibitionist, and has figured prominently in the Local Veto campaign.

Atr. E. D. Morel's first meeting in his Socialist campaign in Dundee a collection plate was sent round for con- tributions to help towards the expenses of the contest. This idea was first con- ceived by Mr. Serymgeour, the Dundee Prohibitionist, who, ever since he became a candidate fifteen years ago, has made use of the plate at his meetings. It only remains now for the Government to impose Entertainment Tax, WHERE?
