[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR, — I wrote to my

candidate, Earl Winterton, the letter you suggested in the Spectator of November 24th, and enclose his reply :— DEAR Mits. MCLAREN,—It is impossible for me to reply to all the individual questions which are sent to me ; it would be better if they were put to me at my meetings ; but as yours is quite a short one, I write to say that I am not in favour of the principle of a

Referendum.—Yours very truly, I'ViNrEirrox.

—I am, Sir, &c., EDITH C. MCLAREN.

The Yett, Park Road, Worthing.
