How Petone Can be Won!
Summing up his chances of win- s ning the Petone seat (now held hy s Mr. M. Moohan), Mr. N. P. Croft, the National candidate, speaking at Point Howard, said that in 1946 Labour's majority was 4019. This majority would be reduced to 400'9 by the Communist candidate, wiiO would poll at least 10 votes. (Laughter.) That would mean that 2005 would need to vote National instead of Labour. Of these at least 1500 have had enough of the sky-high eost of liv400 were fed iip with strikes, ; taxes, and wasteful Government expenditure, and another 100 were sick oi being pushed around by Government controllers. That left, said Mr. Uroft, "only five more to pick up, and I'm in." (Cheers.)
