Thomas Richards, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was carried with
enthusiasm. The meeting concluded with the singing of "Men of Harlech"
and the national anthem.

and other towns, I may be permitted to send you a few observations
on the subject of the campaign for which I pleaded in your columns
a fortnight ago, and which has been prosecuted energetically by a
multitude of speakers ever since.

In the first place, the meetings have shown the absolute fusion of
all parties and the disappearance of all minor issues in the face
of a national crisis. In each case the chair has been taken by the
Lord Mayor or Lord Provost or civic head of the town. On the
platform have been seated members of all parties and denominat
