HOME RULE.
MR. CHURCHILL AND THE ULSTER HALL. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE YIELDED. THAT IS MR. RAMSAY MACDONALD'S OPINION. By Telegraph.— Preii Association.— Copyright. (Received January 29, 9 a.m.), LONDON, 28th January. Mr. J. Ramsay Macdonald, Labour M.P., speaking at Leicester, said he would vote for Home Rule for Ireland. He was amazed that Mr. Churchill (First Lord of the Admiralty) had yielded to the threats of the Unionists with regard to the use of the Ulster Hall for hi* speech. Mr. Churchill should go. to Ulster as Luther went to Worm 3. No other hall has yet been found at Belfast for Mr. Churchill's meeting. [At the Diet of Worms (in April, 1521), whither he was summoned by the Emperor Charles V., Luther made a celebrated speech, which ended with : "There I take my . stand. I can do naught else. So help me, God. Amen."] MR. CHURCHTLL'S SPEECH. OBJECTIONS OF UNIONISTS REMOVED. TROOPS TO BE IN READINESS. LONDON, 27th January.
