THE LABOUR COUNTESS.
SACRIFICES FOR HER PARTY.
25 YEARS' ALLEGIANCE.
Australian and N.Z. Cabl« ABnociaticn. fßeod. 8 30 p.m.) LONDON. Nov. 1
The Countess of Warwick, Labour candidate at the Warwick and Leamington by-election, in her election address, points out that she joined the Labour movement a quarter of a century ago, and adds: "The transference of my political allegiance to Labour was made in no spirit of levity. It meant social ostracism by old friends, the severance of old ties and the denial of class privileges which I had been taught to accept unreservedly." The Countess declares that tariffs are the device of capitalists for exploiting the working classes. She intends to tour the constituency with a team of four white ponies.
Mr. H. G. Wells has written wishing the Countess success.
