Everyone who voted for the Unionists, for the Inde- pendent

Liberals, and for the Labour Party were, for a variety of reasons, showing their want of confidence in Mr. Lloyd George. On this point there can be no doubt whatever. No one during the campaign expressed confidence in him, but always want of confidence, except the small body of candidates pledged to follow him. No statistical special pleading is required to establish this fact. On the other hand, not only did every Unionist candidate express confidence in Mr. Bonar Law, but a considerable number of Liberal candidates also—though they, of course, put their own leaders first. That is why Mr. Lloyd George indulged in vehement attacks on Lord Grey of Fallodon.
