Premier Baldwin spoke at Reading and Bewdley to enormous crowds. At Reading he said: " I never thought there was a sufficiently large bed in this country to hold Asquith and Lloyd George, but they have climbed into the same one, and I think we will wait until morning to see which has kicked the other out." At Bewdley he outlined his general policy and said he knew what he was up against. The opposition seized upon the salient point of the Premier-his pipe. Free Trade posters depicted him smoking " Baldwin twist" in it and producing fumes labeled " high prices...
...Lloyd George, surrounded by megaphones, microphones, amplifiers, bands, bunting and banners, left London to address 5,000,000 throughout the country. The ex-Premier's speeches, one in London and another in Glasgow, were confined to an all-round attack on the Labor and Conservative Parties.

Though nominally economists, they aspire mightily to rule the land and to crab Mr. Baldwin because they hope that Mr. Lloyd George at the head of a queerer coalition will yet be their man. That may easily become an issue in its way as big as the capital levy...
Liberal Party. A major move of the utmost importance occurred when Messrs. Lloyd George and Asquith decided to bury their hatchets and unite the Liberal Party under Mr. Asquith. Sir Alfred Mond and Sir John Simon were credited with having engineered the meeting of the two ex-Premiers which resulted in the fusion. It was regarded as certain that, should the Liberals win the general election in December, Mr. George would assume the Premiership while Mr. Asquith retained the leadership of the Party, thus giving the two control. Another report stated that Mr. Asquith will either become Premier...
