(Received January 2, 12.20 p.m.)
RUGBY, January 1
Fourteen graduates of the Scottish Universities, distinguished in many fields and belonging to all parties, issued a personal letter to the electors in support of the candidature of Mr. Ramsay Mac Donald in the by-election, the writ for which was published in the London Gazette last night.
In the course of the letter the signatories declare: "The Scottish Universities are so closely bound up with the life and history of our country that this opportunity to secure Mr. MacDonald as one of our representatives is of national importance to Scotland, and we feel sure our fellow-country-men all over the world would regard our action not only as an appropriate recognition of the work of a Scotsman who is honoured as an international statesmen, but as a fitting tribute to one who in his life and work has been inspired by Scottish tradition, and has shown all the best qualities of our national character."
