The Liberal ' Vote
SIR,—Surely in this Election Liberals in constituencies with Liberal candidates have a duty to vote Liberal and not just for a candidate of another party to keep out the candidate of a third ? The Liberal vote will be less, because of the lower number standing, but if the Liberal poll is full it may not fall too much.
Otherwise in each constituency Liberals must decide, on the merits of the candidates, which, if any, to vote for. But the decision should be on the candidates and not on the party:
Finally, Liberals should in no case vote for a disguised candidate such as one of the Liberal-Conservatives, for they are not Liberals and these pretences are not nice and should be discouraged. So, too, Liberals should not vote for Liberal-Nationals, who may once have been Liberals but are' now political prisoners ; their efforts to attract Liberal votes are not as genuine as the Conservative or Labour efforts.—
