Mr. Lloyd George made a remark. able tour through the constituencies in the north-east of Scotland at the end of last week, scattering speech as he went. He spoke at Elgi Callen, Buckie, Huntly, Inverarie, and Aberdeen, said a few words from the footboard of his niotor ear at Naim, Portimockie, Aberchirder, and Insch; and made two short addresses at Banff, where he received the freedom of the burgh—a total of 12 speeches. He was nearly 10 hours on the road. Doubtless his missionary Yeal in these northern parts was dictated to a large extent! by the results of general elections in recent years, as at present it is, a devastated political area for boralism. Not so long ago the eral party dominated the extensive districts through which Mr. Lloyd George passed. That is not now the case. A Liberal member for Inverness-shire, but Moray and Naim went over to the Unionist party in 1923, Banffshire and Central Aberdeenshire took the same line' last year, and the city of Aberdeen, at one time a Liberal stronghold, is represented by a Unionist and 2 Socialist."
