WELLINGTON NORTH

SPEECH BY MR. CAEEY. Mr. E. J. Carey, Labour candidate £ot Wellington North, addressed a meeting of 57 electors at St. Paul's Schoolroom, Tinakorj Road, last evening. Air. G. Tester presided. Mr. Carey said everywhere there was an expression of dosiro for a. change in the political control of flu; country. At last election many of tho workers had voted Opposition in desperation. This time, he believed, Labour would poll heavily, because of the advent of an independent party. There was no longer any satisfaction with the great Liberal party. That party was only a shadow of its former self. Twenty vetirs ago it had been elected by the combination of the progressive electors of tho country to fight, tlis commercial and land monopolists. Now there was a co.'nplcto metamorphosis. Listen, said Air. Carey, to tho names of tho men who were now supporting the Liberal party _ by donating to its coffers and assisting it to fight tho present election: David Nathan, Harold Beauehamp (chairman of directors of the Bank of New Zealand), Dr. Collins, and Hamilton Cillmer, and so forth. Or take some of its present nominees: Arthur Myers in Auckland, Vigor Brown in Napier, W. H. P. Barber in Nowtown, and Dr. Izard in-Wellington North, these aro tho nominees of the great people's party.' What aro the workers to hope, what to expect, from a party balustraded by such men as these? Take Dr. Izard, the Liberal nominee for Wellington North, Air. Carey continued. He was a typical sample of present-day Liberal politicians, of the party that had introduced snobocraev, class distinctions, and iicrcditarv titles into this country. Mr. C'aVey claimed that Labour in Neiv Zealand was attempting to pro-, moto reforms similar to thoso now being promoted j.n AustraliaU the elo=e ot his address, he was unanimously accorded a vote of thanks and confidence. A meeting of Air. A. L. Herdmnn's committees was hold last evening. There was a good attendance and tho various reports submitted were satisfactory in every way.
