Lloyd George prides himself on being a man of the people, and never was he more so than when playing the part ol th politician and appealing for votes.

Even today It cannot be said whether wheth-er Mr. Lloyd George Koes to Leeds today to-day in his old Liberal garments, or an an independent proposing to form his own new party, like Roosevelt's Progressives. One of the strongest cries of some of the old radical followers, fol-lowers, and particularly the Labor party, aimed against him, is that ho failed to fulfill his reconstruction pledges so glowingly pictured, to malco Great Britain a land fit for heroes to live In I DEAL WITH ERIN ( The cry of "consistency" never has seemed to frighten Lloyd Gcorgo from ! treading his own path.
