| Description | This newscutting records details relating to a presentation made to George Cadbury at a meeting of the North Worcestershire Liberal Council. George Cadbury was also elected president of the Council at this meeting which was attended by his wife Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury.
The newscutting features the text of two letters sent to the meeting of the Liberal Council by absent members Mr. Arthur Albright and Mr. A. R. Bone praising George Cadbury. Alongside other business, the newscutting records that Reverend C. T. Plank proposed George Cadbury should be elected President of the Council. The newscutting also reports on the presentation of an address to George Cadbury 'in recognition of his services to the Liberal cause' which was printed in a commemorative book. This address, which praised George Cadbury's recognition that 'Christian ethics must constitute the basis and afford the motive' in philanthropic and political work, is reprinted in the article which describes George Cadbury as a 'staunch' Liberal in terms of his politics and work towards social reform.
A speech delivered by George Cadbury in response to the comments made by the Council is also featured in the newscutting alongside the text of a speech delivered by Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury. In her address to the Council Taylor Cadbury commented on 'the abuse and aspersions showered on her husband' during his election campaign. Taylor Cadbury also remarked on the scope for 'women's work' with reference to the newly formed Cradely Woman's Liberal Association. |
