A LIBERAL RALLY.

NOT FRIGHTENED BY SIR E CARSON'S THREATS.

QUESTIONS AFFECTING LAND AND LORDS. (Press Assn.— By Telegraph— Copyright.) (Received June 10, 9.10 a.m.) LONDON, Juno 15. Mr Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Agriculture, speaking at Bristol, said there was no sign that an Ulster Protestant ran any risk of aggression. The whole Empire was against Sir E. Carson. The Liberals stood for the supremacy of the Imperial Parliament. Civil war, if not an impossibility, was an improbability, and if the Liberals were frightened by threats they were not fitted to retain the country's confidence. Mr Winston Churchill wrote to the same meeting, stating that far-reaching questions affecting land and lords were coming into view. There were bigger things to bo done than had ever been 'attempted. The Unionists were as boast. ful to-day, upon tho flood of slander, as m 1909 against the Budget, but the ■ general election would come quite soon ■ enough for reactionaries and food taxers, \ and when it came at the proper time, and upon good ground, with new issues and the old cause, there was little doubt but that the Liberals would roll them over as they had often done before.
