Lewisham Intelligence
THE TORY CANDIDATE was earnest and dull. He was non-U. He was a self-made man. The introduction of a leaven of such men into the Tory party in Parlia- ment is, and has long been, a crying need . . • but they mast' be instructed politicians and articulate; and in both these respects the otherwise worthy Tory candidate at Lewisham was deficient.--'Westminster. Survey,' Manchester Guardian Weekly, February 21.
Some OF THOSE who watched Mr. Farmer at work during the campaign found no evidence that he was exceptionally feeble as a candidate. . . On reflec- tion, it seems clear that the Tories have been belittl- ing their candidate as an insurance against the risk of losing the seat—and that is an extraordinarily shabby thing to do.;--'London Letter,' Manchester Guardian Weekly, February 21.
