It is reported from a number of constituencies that the Liberal leaders are giving eleventh hour adyioe to vote Conservative where there is a straight-out fight against a Socialist; _ The Premier (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald) is suffering from over-much electioneering, which caused insomnia.

Addressing three thousand at Aberavon this morning, the Premier claimed that the Government had handled the so-called "Red” plot in an efficient and business-like way. and had nothing to be ashamed of, for the plot had been thwarted.
