Resolute bulls faced the 5,400 bankers with hostility...

Last week 2,600 Conservative Party Delegates bustled out to Yarmouth, assembled in the famed "Seaside Hippodrome," and became momentously the Conservative Party Conference. Solemn was the occasion, for a platform would soon be drafted on which the Party will appeal to the country in the forthcoming Parliamentary Election...
