THE POLITICAL TIDE.
ITS FORCE IN AVON Asked if he had any intention of becoming a candidate for political honours at rhe elections, Mr G. W. Russell stated this morning that he was not prepared to express an opinion. “ I am watching political matters closely." he said, “but I am not prepared to make any statement in the meantime with regard to my own actions. ' 1 Mr Russell said he was very much interested in observing the movements in his old electorate seeing that at the Last election Mrs Herbert (who is now a candidate against the sitting member) was one of Mr Sullivan’s strongest supporters, and largely assisted to secure his return. Mr Leadley, who was supporting the candidature of Mrs Herbert was one of Mr Sullivan’s nominators in 1919. It wa.fi therefore difficult to understand what bad made so complete a change fn their position, for as far as he could see Mr Sullivan had not altered during the past three years from the stand he had taken during the war or from Jus attitude to the extreme Labour policy of which he was a supporter.
