Messages of success printed from Mr Ben Tillett and Mr Ramsay MacDonald
Ramsay MacDonald wrote :-
"I am glad to hear that good work is being done in the Uxbridge on behalf of the Labour party and its principles.
Your neighbourhood will not be an easy one to move, but a combination of labour experience and intellectual keenness in everything that concerns the honour and well being of the country cannot be always resisted even by London outskirts.
The Labour appeals to all sorts and conditions of people who really feel that the community is of importance and that only in so far as it is active and intellectual can there be individual liberty, enterprise or well being.
The appeal that the Tory party makes is that whoever happens to have ought to have a chance of having more, and that the great masses should be perfectly well content at the end of their days they have managed to keep body and soul together.
I wish the Labour party well in Uxbridge and hope that your new venture in journalism will be thoroughly successful"
