KALGOORLIE "SUN" ON BATH
Under the hopelessly weak and
vacillating Bath, who is held in such
thinly-disguised contempt that his own
constituents refuse to go and hear
him speak, and who can neither exer-
cise authority, enforce discipline, or j
discountenance gutter methods of
fighting, the party has sunk lament-
ably in public estimation. "By God,"
said Pitt to Fox on a certain occa-
sion when the Duke of Newcastle ap-
pointed a dull mediocrity name Sir
Thomas Robinson to lead the House
of Commons, "the Duke might as well
have sent his bootjack to lead us."
To compare Tommy Bath to a boot-
jack would be unjust—to the bootjack.
