Fred A. Rowland had been expected
to preside, but that he had been called
away. He introduced Congressman
Greene by saying that it does us all
good to see those who represent us.
Mr.. Greene began his speech by re-
ferring to Mr.. Proctor as a modest,
quiet worker, with the "old- time com
mon sense of the family of Proctor"
His address was directed against un-
rest and discomfort with party lines
and principles, leading to state social
ism. Less attention is being paid to-
day To party principles and more to
personalities, he said. Our government
Is an experiment, Congressman Greene
said, and went back to the signing of
the Declaration of Independence and
Benjamin Franklin's words of warn
ing to prove that its only security is
in teamwork. Restlessness in a part
of both parties is leading to state So
cialism, he said, and the Democratic
party especially has attracted malcon-
tents and is drifting in the socialistic
direction He believed, nevertheless,
in the underlying sound, healthy pa
triotism OF the voters.
Mr.. Proctor, who followed Mr..
Greene. stated that he was speaking
publicly in Montpelier for the first
time. He spoke Of Senator Dilling-
ham as an old and dear friend of his
fathers and friend of himself. The
party platform, Mr.. Proctor said, is
brief, but contains considerable meat,
and he stands emphatically upon it.
A new method of dealing with the APP
for departments was fore
east by Mr. Proctor, under which es-s
Inmates of expense viii be sent to the
executive, reviewed by him, sent to
The legislature, and considered before
my other appropriations are consid
sred. He believes in simplifying the
government by eliminating unneces-
,ary parts, but said he was not after
head.
Senator Dillingham; gave an address
lealing with the progress of the coun
Try industrially under Republican
egislation and told Of the beneficial
fleets Of the Morrill, tariff and the
Dingley bill. He cited Democratic
ailures during the war period and
old of the successful Republican ef-
orts to reduce expenses since.

AFTER .2O6O NILES HAD
TODESCEND BECAUSE or
DEFECTIVE RADIATOR
TREMENDOUS OVATION
FOR LLOYD GEORGE
Crowd of $4,000 Tried to Hear Him and
Those Who Got Into Hall Rose
and Cheered Ex-Premier.

London, Nov. 4 (By the Associated
Press - Former Prime Minister Lloyd
George, in delivering to-day his first
popular address in London since the
fall of the coalition cabinet, made a
strong defense of the late government g
policy and pleaded for a vigorous mid
die course, free from both revolution
and reaction which he described as
equally dangerous to the interests Of
the nation.
The ex-premier spoke in a motion
picture theatre to crowd of 5000 per-
sons-all who had been able to make
their way into the building out of a
throng of some 25,000 persons who had
applied for admission.
If the attitude of Lloyd Georges ati-
dience and that of the throngs Of pco
pie clustering about the doors seek
ing admission are any criterion, the
former prime minister has by no means
lost his popularity, even in London,
whore most Of the criticism of the late
coalition has centered.
When the ex-premier appeared on
the stage, the whole audience rose and
joined in cheering which lasted several
before he was able to begin.
Although he did not appear to be IN
his best speaking form he was able to
hold his audience spell-bound, except
for intermittent cheers, for more than
an hour.
When one says spell bound about a
British political audience, however, it
is not continuous rapt silence that
is meant, for in such meetings piquant
phrases of speaker and the making of
striking points are always accompanied
by the Characteristic British hear,
hear"
Particularly acceptable to the audi
ence was the ex-premier's summary of
the economic and financial policies of
the late government.
when my friend, Mr. Bonar Law,
the new prime minister, left the
wretched coalition cabinet" said MIR.
Lloyd George, s'the British sovereign
would buy In the United States only
l3 shillings tuppence worth Of mer-
when Mr.. Bonar Law man
aged at the Carleton club to overthrow
that cabinet, the British sovereign
would buy eighteen shillings five pence
worth of merchandise.
Speaking of the dangers from ex-
IRENE socialism and from like .on-
servatism, Mr.. Lloyd George laid aside
his notes, leaned his head backwards
n his characteristic fashion and de-
,lared:
when you get home get your die
ionaries, turn to the letter r. read |
lown to the word reaction and then
'ead very little further and you come
% the word revolution They come
Tery close together, almost in the same
column, but remember reaction comes
irst.n
The ex-premier warned his hearers
% remember at the coming elections |
hat they would choose a Parliament |
or five years, and he asked if they
wanted a Parliament which would
leep politically and remain quiescent,
of the many difficulties
which were bound to lie ahead.
Tranquility" he added, "does not
lepend upon the ship but upon the scs
standstill policy isn't a policy, it's
