I was at the west end of the High Street in Paisley; where the pedestrianisation ends, and before you reach the museum, there's a three-storey building. Carved on its imposing Victorian frontage are the words \"Liberal Club\". Built in 1886, its pedimented windows and ionic columns are impressive. James Donald, a local architect who had served as Alexander \"Greek\" Thomson's draughtsman, designed it. Alas, whether the fact he served on the Liberal-run Paisley Town Council had anything to do with him securing the commission for the town's Liberal Club remains open to conjecture. What is beyond doubt is this present-day social club stands as a monument to an earlier tradition of politics in Paisley - that made the town a liberal stronghold for a century. It was in a hall at the Liberal Club that Herbert Henry Asquith was formally adopted as Liberal candidate for the Paisley by- election that took place on February 12, 1920. Before Asquith spoke that evening, a telegram from the Glasgow Liberal Association was read out to 600 supporters. It described its candidate as \"the foremost statesman of the day\".
