“AGGRESSIVE IMPERIALISM.”

Mr. Scrymgeour, in his speech, said he wished to express to Almighty God his heartfelt thanks for the marvellous result, and Mr. Morel said they had struck a great blow at aggressive and reckless Imperialism and a great blow for honesty and morality in politics. Mr. Scrymgeour is a Dundee man, and is the founder and organising secretary of the Scottish Prohibition party, and the new Parliament is destined to hear the case against the drink trade stated with an aggressive eloquence which Westminster has probably never before experienced.

Mr. Churchill shortly after addressed a meeting of his supporters in the Liberal clubrooms. He was very warmly received, and spoke with calm deliberation and even cheerfulness. He said his heart was devoid of the slightest sense of regret, resentment, or bitterness. On the contrary, he looked back over the past fifteen eventful years with feelings of the deepest regard for Dundee. The great manifestation of the wish of the people of Dundee, must not be looked upon even by those who did not agree with it as any bad or evil thing. It was or the utmost importance that these great new electorates that had been enfranchised should have the feeling that the institutions of the country belonged to them in the fullest possible sense, and that they could do what they liked and choose by constitutional means and Parliamentary processes, and that there was no need for violence or need to silence the voice of reason by clamour. He had been all his life a sincere believer in democratic and Parliamentary processes in representative Government and in the procedure of the British constitution. He had often benefited by these processes, and although on that particular occasion they had gone against him, he had not one whit less regard and admiration for them. Mr. Churchill paid a tribute to Mr. Scrymgeour as a man who stood for endurance.

Mr. and Mrs. Churchill for King’s-cross shortly after nine o’clock. They were given a send-off by a band of students. Mr. Churchill’s final salutation, given with a smile, being “Good-bye, boys.”
