["Colonel North bases his appeal for support on the plea that he will see to it that West Leeds gets its full share of whatever work may be going."—Leeds Mercury.]
O "dark and true and tender is the North!"
And wondrous service to West Leeds he'll render;
He'll see, when Government work is going forth,
West Leeds shall have its chance—at least to tender.
"Orders are heaven's first law." That is the kernel
Of the "dear Colonel's" creed; and it contents
Those who to Governments raise the cry eternal
Of "Give your orders, Gents!"
ECHOES FROM THE POLLS.
Elected am I? Well, I am really much obliged.
Oh, certainly, shall be truly delighted to do anything in my power.
Fancy in these hard times that it is a little difficult to increase a subscription list.
Only too pleased, but must be rather careful not to infringe the Bribery Acts.
Truly intend to live up to my opinions. Would not alter them for worlds.
Cannot recall everything I said during the heat of the election, and probably was imperfectly reported.
