Letter from Peter Lewis, Newtown,
Has been stunned by Clement Davies's decision not to stand as MP for Montgomery again. 'Your Membership has become one of the settled order of things, and it is most difficult to think in any other terms'. Is concerned that the Liberal Party currently receives few mentions in the Press.
Since Clement Davies has decided not to contest Montgomery again, writer wishes the next election to be long delayed. Would like Clement Davies to go to the Lords.
