The "Times" states that Mr Jameson consistently proclaimed the Unionists' task was to support. Mr Botha against his followers who resist the convention policy. . Mr Jameson's success at the polls was the best possible augury, assuring the growth of freer divisions of political opinions and strengthening the influence of the best men.
