Preferential Joe.
Among the lighter features of the ‘ Elector. ’’ in its new form, is a song to the air of ••John Anderson, My Jo,” which ought to become popular at election time. It runs thus:— Joe <’ha’uber!aln, my Jo, Joe, When we were first acquent, Yoh were a rising Rad. Joe, On great reforms intent”. But now you’ve turned Conservative. And boss the Tory Show. Xou’re really quite phenomenal, Joe Chamberlain, my Jo. Joe Chamberlain, my jo, Joe, You uttered scathing words. About the Land and Church, Joe, And tile wicked House of Lords. On Education you were wout To fulminate—but oh! You’ve swallowed every blessed word, Joe Chamberlain, my Jo. J«»e Chamberlain, my jo, Joe. Before you turned a Raider, And got the Empire on the brain. You were a staunch Free-trader. But now you’re in for Zollverein. Protectionist—What, ho! You’re Mr Seddon—-Armageddon, Preferential Joe!
