BEN TILLETT. 1 His Telegram to Sir Alfred Mond. STRONG LABOUR COMMENT. ——— f Aid. J. J. Powlealand, the Labour candi- date for Swansea West, had a crowded meet- ing of supporters at St. Joseph's Hall on Wednesday evening. Councillor T. Sheenan presided. The Chairman said that a statement had been spread ,L;out saying that Fathr Har- rington was on the platform supporting Sir A. Mond at Monday evening's meeting. He wanted to say that this was absolutely uu- t:'ue. Mr Wilson said that the election in Swan- sea was now getting very interesting aitd ex-j citing. and it was also getting very serious from the Lab<?u' point of view. He had not: seen a paper that evening but he understood that there was a telegram in the Leader from Mr. B??i Tdltt.L He had the greatest admiration for Mr. Tillett, who \l¡ll been cue of the first to bring a new dawii. and era in Swansea, to Labour and had made thou- sands of homes in the town happier and brighter, but lie regretted that his friend had allowed himself to be Used by the Capitalist side of the country and used to try f Leke votes from Mr. Powleshmd. He did not lik the way he had sent a wire to one of their op- ponents. (Hear, near, and applause.) The xime was coming when they would have to tiav "God S; them from some of their ,iwil friends." j Aid. Powiesland made reference to the offer cf the Albert Hall which the Labour Party had received from the Liberal agent for one night.. (Voice "Let them keep it.") The Candidate That is what we told them, and what was more he had said that he would fight in the open air the same as he had done in other municipal elections. (Applause). Again, in consequence cf some- thing that had happened at the Harbour Trust meeting, the "Leader" had offered him a column and a half space a day, free of charge, but he did not want it. He would fight the election and stand by their- de- cision. (Hear, hear). Ex.-Lce.-Cp], Fuller, V.C., in supporting resolution, said he was very sorry to hear that Mr. Ben Tillett had sent a telegram to the Leader" for Sir A. Mond. Voice "He will Have to answer for it," Continuing, Mr. Fuller said that Mr. Ben Tillett h ad not b.?er. tru^ to the workers. Father Bailey's Pertinent Quostions. Father bailey (who said he deputised Father Harrington) asked Ml*. Powleslaud several questions in regard to the Catholic Schools and religion, lie wanted to know if he would fight and support any 'measures that would give the Catholics the right and freedom to teach "thAnr religion in their schools, and thai the Government should pay them a grant the same as other schools. I Ald. Powlesland said he realised the great Importanee of the Subject, but as the sub- ject was not on the Labour Party programme he could not pledge his word, hut he was sure that the Labour Party would see that justice would be done to their religion and their schools. (Applause.) Father Bailey wanted to know whe-thcr Aid. Powlesland was a member oi the 1.1..1'. Ald. Powlesland said he had ceased to be a mem ber of the I.L. P. four yeJ i: ago. He was there that night in the interest of the Labour Party and not the LLP. Aid. Mprreils supported and asked what j had Sir A. Mood done to give back the land to the people,? That was the battle-cry oi the Liberal Party at the last election, but. had Sir A. Mond lifted a finder to try and 9( t it back for them? ("No.") Had Sir A. Mend endeavoured to carry out the pledge he had given them? ("No.") The resolution was unanimously carried. "i,4.:r CLOSINC OF PUBLIC-HOUSES 'At Panty^wydr Schoolroom, Ald. Powles- land was asked by a member of the audience it he had dene anything to further the in- terests of the Swansea port, and his reply was that he had stopped one of the biggest strikes that ever threatened the town by "sitting on the safety valve," and it nearly killedhirn. Asked by another questioner his opinion en temperance. Mr. Powlesland said he ■would go all the way on the temperance pro- gramme. A resolution in support of the. candidate was put before the meeting, and Mr. W. Jenkins and Aid. James (Sketty) spoke in support. The former said that, one of the first t&ings thq £ Labour was out for was shutting the public-houses, and he did not think it would be a bad thing if they were phut up altogether. Dr. J. A. Rawhngs wrote supporting the Labour programme SUDDEN CHANGE OF FRONT. I It will be seen by our advertising columns that, Mr, Ben Tillett has apparc^y Jrmged his mind and he now telegraphs that "he hoids no brief for Mond and advises sup- port for Labour.

THEN AND NOW. — "<t>- — 1910-Ramsay Macdonald: i 1918-Ben Tillett. Sir Alfred Mond is unfortunate in his politi- cal associates Mr. De lkck. of the" Xa- tional Xev.s (mainly nnanccd bv Mond) was ?rymg to raise ? clamour to ousf Mr. Lloyd George i?sb spring at the most critical ttme for the Anied Armies in the WeHt and for tti,?? A.'Liied Arroie-g Iii the \N'e-.?t -.nd jeturn of the PreMiet at Carnarvon, is the editor of th. Lnglish Review," originally fiaancedby Sir A'!red Mond. In 2910, the Labour s ponsor for the latter in Swansea, when Sir A. Mond was being opposed by Mr. Ben Tillc-tt, was Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, whom Sir Alfred Mot id and his paper now flagellate. Now it is Mr. Ben Tillett. the "whittled" of 1910. who gives an "un- solicited" testimonial to Sir Alfred Mond. 'These are the terms in which Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, the Labour sponsor for Sir A. Mond in 1910 referred to the present La-bour ppogcor for the same candidate :— "Mr. Tillett is not supported by the La, hour Party. "I am sorry to say that it is quite true that. Mr. Tillett has lost no opportunity dur- j ing the la-st few years tA) Vilify and misre- present the Labour Party. He has pub- lished a pamphlet for the delectation of our enemies, and (this to his credit) ha has been M'ise enough to i-lui away from it when c hall'-f' aA Portsmouth to face the music. "And 3ince the Budget has been intro- duced he has taken special del:ght and pains to show that he disagrees with the unanimous decision" and opinions of the Labour Party. "Had I a vote in Swansea, it would, there- fore, not be given to Mr.Tdlett. unless I were assured that Ql, pDhGY in Parliament was not to follow the lines of his criticism outside." I BEN TILLETT IN 1910 1 AND 1918. Mr. Ben Tillett. who for the moment figures in Mond circles as the great Labodi-t leader, was in 1910 described by Sir Alfred Mond as the Duke's Docker and the Brewer's Pet." I

DIRTY WORK. DIRTY  ———— ———— How the Mondites are Fighting. & it  UO.iHLt&t Mr. DAVIES'S GREAT SKETTY MEETING. I Mr. David Davies. the only Welsh Coali- tion candidate for Swansea West, continued his successful tour of the constituency on Wednesday night, when he spoke at St. George's Hali, Swan-street, and the Kational Schools, Sketty. At Sketty, Mrs. Charles Wright. who has come down from London for the express pur- pose of helping Mr. Davies's candidature, and who received a fine welcome, presided over a meeting that was packed, the audience, extending far into the courtyard of the school. Mr. D. Villiers Meager, Mr. Thomas Rees, Mr. T. R. Robinson, Rev. H. J. Stewart (Vicar o'f Sketty), and others supported. In opening, Mrs. Charles Wright said she had great pleasure in taking the chair for her old friend, Nir. David Davies, whom they would see on Saturday next represent- :ng them in Parliament. (Applause.) The new Parliament would have to deal with very complicated and important national matters, and it was essential that their representatives should be only Britishers, and not anyone of foreign extraction. (Ap- plause.) She did hope that the electors would think wisely a.nd remember the sacri- fices the men had made for them in the war, and return a Britisher to Parliament. (Applause.) My Meager and the Gentian Waiters, Mr. D. Villiers Meager proposed the vote of confidence in Mr. Davies' candidature and pointed out that it was a momentous eiec- tion. For the tirst time women and soldiers had the vote. Both Sir Alfred Mond s nd Air. David Davies supported the Coalition, and with regard to the internal affairs of the country—that was reconstruction—they also practically had the same views. He claimed in the latter respect that Mr. David Davies had had greater experience from his long municipal work than Sir Alrred Mond— I,e c, hear)-azid ev e,,) 0f Mr. Powlesland. of domestic matters. (Ilear hear.) But it was not on the policy of re< onstruction that the election was being fought. The contest way over the greater issue of thr attittMteMctf^tA'w country towards Germany and the Germans. (Hwtty -Ma-. Dayiii Xt&xiea,. had; !>««%» the true prophet about the German perii. and yet Sir Alfred Mond had infinitely the greater opportunities for the t h truth. (Hear, near.) Three months after the war started Sir Alfred Mond said at Swansea that Germany had been preparing lor years for the war. whilst at- Aberavon he said it had been hanging over this1 conn- try like a nigKtrnare for many years. If that "'Ne. so, why did not Sir Alfred tell them that before? (Applause.) In 1914 Sir Alfred should have admitted that in 1910 he had made a ghastly error—Germany had been preparing for war—take warning. (Ap- plause.) 1-bj he done that he might not have been opposed at the present- time, but he did not do it.. (Hear, hear, and a voice, He's been done") Sir Alfred Mond still left, them in the dark why he was associated with the National News," nor did he say anything in his address about what should be done with the German brutes. The •Ger- mans should all be sent back to their own country. (A voice "Then why release the .nterned German waiters in London?") That was A waakness and he suggested that ?h. Da nd Davies would be better able to deal with it than Sir Alfred Mond could poss: hI" be. (Applause.) He hopeU they would <'o their best on Saturday to return Mr. David Davies to Parliament. (Applause.) At this stage Mr. David Davies, who was accompanied by Mrs.. Davies, entered the room and met with a great reception. Champion of British Liberties." Mr. Thomas Rees seconded, and said that the Germans had always preached the bru- tality of ascendency, which aimed at the destruction of everything that came their way. (Hear, bear.) In this connection he referred to the humiliation bv Bismarck of France in 1870 and the. fact that later Ger- many said they would bleed France as white as veal. ("Shame.") And there was a. local application. (A Voice; "Mind the writ" and laughter.) "1 don't worry," said Mr. Rees; "I stand here as que to whom Sir Alfred Mond delivered his most fierce shot, and I am not afraid to stand here still." (Loud appkuse.) he z-a Id that Sir Alfred Mond, "this champion of British liberties"—(laughter)—was going to have a mark set upon all who secretly opjiosed him. (Laughter.) Who was going to he ccerced, he asked, by his money-bags? (Ap- plause.) Mr. Brook was not. (Loud ap- plause.) Mr. Davies was not. (Applause.) i And the speaker was sure he was not. (More applause.) "I know Sir Alfred Mond," said Mr Rees, "and I know Mr. Davies as well. and that is the reason why I snv, with all my 1 hope he is goingto win r.e\t Sat-} nrctay for no jman in journalism ever de- veloped so fm,e a sen?e of friendship as Mr. Dayi?.? did." (Applause.) A map of Swan- ?a giving every detai', tJt?t w? published in BeMin- (?f.-nsation)—showed how we w?e baing lured to the very edge of the precipice; and so the one feeling that should animate the whole country was expressed in the well-known lines from Scott's "Manni-on": <; Li, es there the man with soul so dead Who never to himself bath said This is my own, my native land?" (Applause.) That should be the text for eveiv man and woman elector in the country. (Loud applause.) Mrs. Od. Davies and the Slanderers. Mrs. David Davies (the wife of the can- didate), who was most enthusiastically re- ceived said she was nob there to make a political speech, but because of cruel, atro- cious things that were beng said by can- vassers on the other side. (" Shame.") "I have been in the upper parts of the town with my husband," she proceeded, "and I find there are certain canvassers for Sir Alfred Mond going about saying things about our home-life which are absolutely untrue, and I am here to say that they a-re entirely without foundation. I can truthfully say that our home-life has ever been A, perfectiv happy one. My husband is a thoroughly good maii-i good husband and good father. (Loud applause.) And I must take some means or other of stopping what the canvassers are going about saving. (Hear, hear.) I am perfectly willing to face any of those canvassers— (loud applause)—and invite them to prove II what they aie saving, which they cannot do. (Hear, hear.) They must have had I their instructions from headquarters, or they would not say such things, (Hear, hear.) i am sorry," Mrs Davies concluded, "to have to bring such matters here, but 1; think it is only right I should refute such base slanders, and I only hope the people of Swansea will show t"t the- do riot bE'>- lieve them by returning my husband to Parlia.menb next Saturday." (Prolonged applause. ) THE CANDIDATE. Mr. David Davies, who wat; loudly ap- plauded, followed the matter up and said that the canvassers in question would not dare say the thm-gs they did but for the beiidf that thev were protected, by Sir Alfred Mond ,s millions. (Hear, hear.) While these unscrupulous things were being said about him no expression of opinion in his favour was permitted to appear in Sir Alfred Mond'a paper, aard he was being ham- pered, harassed and persecuted by every kind of employment of money so as to maice the election as difficult as possible for him. (Cheers, and a voice: Don't give up, Dai.") "I am not going to give up," said Mr. Davies. I am going to tight this election to the last minute; and, what's more, 1 am going to win." (Loud applause.) There was something more precious, be went on, than the Mond millions, and that was the confidence and lespect of the people who had known him through and through'during the last 25 years. (Appla-use.) Why Sir A. Mond is Being Fought. He did not think there con xi be a happier home life in all Swansea tha-n his. They had be-an married for 29 years and they had four children, not one of whom had gl "en 3 moment's serious anxiety or worry. (Ap- plause and a voice: "Enough of that, let's fl?llr politics.') "You sbdl have presently," said Mr. Davies, "and 1 want, to pin these people down to politics and not to glanders. < (Loud applause.) Coming to politics, the candidate again reiterated that since the beginning of the campaign he had brought certain allega- tions against Sir Alfred Mond. not :n hi pri- vate capacity, but as a politician and a public man. (Hear, hear.) He had shovrn that Sir Alfred Mond, as Mr. Tom Rees had so elo- quently said, pi •cached the gospel that we were safe from any German peril. (" Shame.) After sucli fa-lse guidance, with its terrible consequences, Sir .Alfred Mond ought to have had the decency to keep out of sight during thin war and not have had the audacity to come to Swansea and iifi.k for their trust and oonhdence and the highest distinction that they had its their gat. CLoud applause.) Sir Alfred Mond now asked them to forget his pre-war utter- ances but that was a most dangerous for- mula to 3.dapt in politics. (Hear, hear.) fcivery inaii should be held responsible for his public utterances. (H ear, hear.) Mr. Lloyd George had stated six tilings which he re- garded as essential in the peace terms, but if they turned up the "Daily Leader" they would discover that one of them had dis- appeared entirely, namely, the clearing out of the Germans from this country. ("Ah" and ironicjJ .laughter;) That disappearance tie significant. And there was this When Sir A1 irod Mond started iiis campaign hs had not d word to say about the punishment of the Kaiiier, not a word about iii demnities., and not a word about "G«mi £ »is '"tttfe country. he had .-nee conceded the first two points, but not the th:r.d. "And could you trust him to carry out Mr. Lloyd George's programme. a#ked Mr. Davies, "as you can trust me?" ) (Loud cries of No., -if, Mr. Lloyd George had sa,id, the Germans had lied about us and spied upon us. (A Voice: "Why speak about them?") For the Generations to Come. Because 1 want to wan; this nation against tolerating Germans any more in this country," replied Mr. Davies. amid applause. "I do not Avallt you to be prevented from putting into force measures of precaution to protect not only this generation, but the generations yet to come." (Loud applause.) It was essential, as the "Spectator" -aid, to relieve Mr. JloFt George of "Polideal Undesirables" and re- move their influence from political life and make our Government British from top to bottom. (Applause ) We must clear the Germans out and keep them out. Talk about unemployment, every German workman who came over hei-e took the plce of a British workman and so he said let them stay at home and stew in their own juice. (Loud laughter and app suse.) La conclusion. Mr. Diivies urged the electors to regard their duty as a solemn 011"2, and the speaker's elec- tion would then bo to the world an indica- tion of the character of the judgment the people had passed on Sir Alfred Mond's pre. war activities and present unsuitabloness for a place in the councils of the nation. (Loud and prolonged applause.) The vote of confidence was carried with absolute unanimity. On the proposition of the candidate. Mrs. Wright wa.^ very cordially thai iked for so ably presiding. IN ALEXANDRA WARD. Mr. David Davies also spoke at an excel- lent meeting-held u.t. St. George's Hail, Swan-street. Ex-Ald. J. Hillard was in the chair, and the speakers included Ald. Sin- clair and Mr. Griffith Jones. The candida.te gave a rousing address, and a vote oi confidence was heartily carried. ■ —, ■■■ !•

CHEERING LETTER FROM COLONEL WRIGHT. Colonel J. R. Wright, in a letter ad- dressed from 16, Royal-crescent, Bath, wrltes I had intended being In Swansea, all this weekend tried to come on your platform one evening, though I am avoiding all ex- citements and night work. I, however, have had a chill, -which my doctor here says is to keep me quiet and rating this week, so I ?h?il not be coming to Swansea at all. I do sincerely hope you will be successful at the poll; my true opinion is that voU will. Wishing yon every success and hoping you will not knock yourself up.

Food-unot Medicine. I The foremost doctors seldom order medi- cine nowaday. Drugs, have had their day in the scientific-medical world. For in- stance, huge doses of iron used to be given for anaemia, strychnine l'oi nerves, and many diiierent drugs fo, indigestion. Now the doctor turns to scientific foods. He feeds up the system, and nature doei the healing. To increase the strength, rather than to give medicine is known to be the quicker and surer remedy. Fats are the best cure for nervous people. Chymol, a delicious preparation, containing pure emulsified fats f and sweet British barley malt, quickly bene- I fits anaemics and dyspeptics. It. not only feeds, but increases the assimilation of the ordinary meals. Thin, under-nourished, nervous people, afraid to take any rich foods, find it perfectly digtible. It wn be taken ■ with pleasure, at or between meali. Children love it. Wr}te for full particulars to The Chymol Company, > LuMted, Dept. 00, Queen's House, Kmgaway.

A FALSE STATEMENT REPEATED. v This Time Traced. We are informed that one of Sir Alfred Mond's prominent supporters (whose identity is known) stated to a number ot gentlemen this morning that in consideration of the writs against him being withdrawn Mr. Drl. Davies would withdraw from the contest, and that an armouncement í0 that effect weulil appear in this evening's Daily Post," v There is a particfe of truth in this statement, which amours"-s to an istTefK* under the Corrupt Practices Act. Mr. Dd. Navies wilt NOT WITHDRAW tnder any eont-itions, but goes to the poll with the fullest confidence in tho verdict of the electors cf Swansea West.
