A deadly blow is aimed at the party which is
by far the most stable element in what may be called the great anti-revolutionary army. Mr. Lloyd George might derive much advantage from fighting a General Election immediately after Sir George Younger (who is an organiser of exceptional skill and ability) had ceased to be responsible for the election arrangements of the Unionist Party ; but if the Unionist Party consented to throw Sir George Younger overboard at such a moment as this, and in response to such a demand as Mr. Lloyd George has made, it would be. committing suicide. We cannot refrain from saying that the Unionist leaders who have co-operated with Mr. Lloyd George within the Coalition, and have assured us over and over again that all was going well, were sadly lacking in foresight.
