M.P. for Kensington, replying to the I drastic move to deprive him of official Tory nomination at the elections, because he has recently been divorced.

I have the support of an overwhelming majority in the constituency, and I intend to go straight ahead. Nearly everybody knows me. and this circular docs r.ot bother them, but it is mons rous that when every vote is needed to keep out the Socialists people who are nominally Conservatives are doing their best to keep out a Conservative candidate.”
