RETURNED SOLDIERS' ASSOCIATION.
> INCISION TO KEEP CLEAR OF PARTY POLITICS. (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, March S. As a sequel to the Wellington North by-election, an extraordinary general meeting of the Wellington Returned Soldiers' Association was held tonight, -when the following resolution was adopted unanimously:— "That this meeting endorses the action of the committee in .taking up a neutral attitude iu the decent political contest, thus acting according to the constitution of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association. Furthermore. this meeting disapproves most emphatically of the action of any political candidate who may be inclined to exploit either the name of the Returned Soldiers' Association ox returned soldiers for political advantage." The meeting solidly supported the mover's argument that if the Association allowed itself to be dragged into the _ vortex of party politics, the organisation .would be dismembered.
