The Lord Chancellor, addressing the Junior Constitutional Club on Thursday,
February 23rd, said. that .he had been born a Conservative and. should die a Conservative,. and that he took his others from nobody. The proposal to dissolve the Coalition, GO that the' Conservative Party:might make- an. independent empeal to the electors; was a counsel of, insanity. Referring to Sir George Younger, the Lord Chancellor declared that, in a storm, :when .the captain would naturally .be on the- bridge, the cabin-boy should not be encouraged to-seize:the helm, especially as the, cabin-boy did not intend to. make another voyage. He thought that the Government, would have been, justified in going to the country early this year. Many night disagree with him, • but they would be fewer in three months' time. The Unionists could not get a working majority without the aid of the Coalition Liberals. They- were fated-with re formidable enemy in the Labour Party, who had in' Mr. Clynes and Mr. Henderson respectable figure-heads- but who were really working for the 'disruption of society. 'The Coalition could only win the next election if it were united.
