Review in The Times, 5 December 1924, page 8. The review estimates at least 9,000 people attended the meeting and has a full transcipt of Baldwin's speech. The articles makes it clear that the stewards at the meeting were composed entirely of members of the Junior Imperial League. The article also states that, 'a huge portrait of Mr Baldwin was displayed in front of the pipes of the great organ, and the hall was decoarted with banners bearing watchwords of the recent election, such as 'Confidence, Contentment, Comradeship', and 'Ordered progress, not revolution."
The resolution moved was:
'That this meeting of representatives of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Assoications, assembled from all parts of the United Kingdom, congratulates te Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin, M.P., upon the result of the recent General Election and upon his appointmnet as Prime Minister. It further desires to express its appreciation of the great services he has rendered to the Conservative and Unionist cause and its entire confidence in him, and assures him of the most loyal support.' |
