OGRORE VALLEY CONSTITUENCY
OGRORE VALLEY CON- STITUENCY THE MINERS NOMINATE MR VERNON HARTSHORN. A suppliel re^x>rt states that a meeting under the auspices of the Ogmore Valley Miners' Joint Com- mittee was held at Ogmoro Vale on Tuesday night to oonsider the question of nominating a miners' candidate for the Ogmore Parliamentary division. Mr Davey, chairman of the commitee, presided. Mr Vemon. Hartshorn. J. P., the prospective Labour candidate, was unable to obe present owing to the death of his brother, Lmitenant A. W Hartshorn, who was killed in action last week. The meeting passed a vote of condolence with him. s Mr Tom I Lucas, J.-P., -mliiers'- -agent for the Og- j more and Gilfa.ch district, explained the Miners' Federation's scheme for running 53 candidates, and said that Mr Vernon Hartshorn was entitled to a "walk over" in the Ogmore division, which was one of the most purely Lab- our divisions in the whole country. Mr i Frank Hodges, J.P., agent for the Garw district, said that there was no reason why the next Government should not be a Labour Government. Its success would be largely determined bv its personnel, and in his opinion no better type of Labour member could be found than the type repre- sented by Mr Vernon Hartshorn. It was unanimously decided to support Mr Hartshorn as the miners' nominee.
PRAISE FOR WELSH BANTAMS.…
PRAISE FOR WELSH BANTAMS. I In an interview with a Press repre- sentative, further praise for the Welsh Bantams was paid by an ofifcer now home from the western front. He said:— "I can assure you that the Welsh' Bantam battalions have thoroughly justified their existence, and in the recent big pushes they have done ex- ccc-dingly well. For fighting qualities and stvmina they are equal to the larger men, the only disadvantage, perhaps, that they feel being in carry- ing heavy packs and equipment long distances. At Bourlon in particular the Bantams won imperishable fame for their heroic conduct in the face of very heavy odds. Officers and men be- have in a remarkably gallant manner and won universal praise for their stubbornness and tenacity. Of course, there are very few of the original com- plement of men now serving with the Welsh battalions, as they have been continuously engaged for over fifteen months. At Bourlon Wood the Welsh took their objective in fine style, and gallantly held on for three days until relieved by the Guards. "The Welsh Bantams have also won considerable fame for the successful manner in which they continunlly raid the enemy trendies. The little men give the squareheads' absolately no peace, and th.y have come to be regarded as veritable thorns in the flank of the Germans. i
