The Labour Party have recently conducted a great campaign of

instruction and enlightenment in the country on the subject of nationalization. The rays of light which have been turned upon Paisley must, after all, have been very dim. We cannot understand how, after such a result as this, the most timid or most venal politician could think it necessary to serve either the Liberal or the Unionist Party, or to keep his seat safe, by putting his conscience up to auction in the political market- place and promising Labour that its anti-popular demands shall be granted. To-do the Labour Party justice, we do not fancy that they are in any doubt about their own position. The great expansion of the party by means of enfolding brain-workers was in itself a confession of weakness.
