He would only refer to the latter very briefly, as it was well kn-jwn to all. Ha would say that if he was returned he would continue to do his best for them. The work of the past twelve months had been arduous, and he had not had a bed of roses. There had been considerable opposition and misrepresentation both m the Press and Committee.
