Written at National Liberal Club, Whitehall Place, S.W. Took a walk with Harold Spender across St. James' Park to the Club that morning. The children are taking a motor ride in Wynford Philipps's car. Is to have lunch with C. P. Scott. Campbell-Bannerman's condition is 'about the same'. 'Very unpleasant situation. We have no leader. Peckham is going wrong. We shall have a very bad licking there. So unless we make a real effort soon we may go under. But the game is never lost until it is won & the Tories are not in yet & we have 3 years in which to pull ourselves together'. In the Observer that day H. W. Lucy writes that 'there is complete unanimity as to whom should be Chancellor of the Exchequer'.
