Scope and Content

Correspondence with Walter B. Graham, clergyman, relating to discussion of Graham's objection to the coverage of the [general] election in the Manchester Guardian, of the Liberal party, the strategy of the leaders of the Liberal party, [David] Lloyd George and [Herbert Henry] Asquith, and a potential alliance with the Labour party, with discussion of [Ramsay] MacDonald, leader of the Labour party.

Also included is correspondence relating to difficulties experiences by Graham, who, owing to his having written several letters to the editor on the Liberal and Labour parties for the Manchester Guardian, has had the contribution made to his salary by Lord Lonsdale [Hugh Cecil Lowther, fifth earl of Lonsdale, sportsman] withdrawn, as Lonsdale objects to the views expressed. There is discussion of Scott's sympathy for this event, and of the publication of an article in the Manchester Guardian publicising Lonsdale's actions.
